Saturday , November 20 . Paeliament re-assembled last night . In the House of Commons the business was miscellaneous . In answer to Sir John Shexlet , Mr . Secretary Wauole repeated his declaration of a preceding evening , that as regarded Convocation , Government had no intention of interfering , unless that body should ask licence from the Crown . Otherwise the question would be left to the Archbishop . The only deviation which had been made from the ordinary course was in the Address having been debated in Convocation for three days instead of one , and in a committee having been appointed—a proceeding with which Government could not inferfere . But he declared that nothing should induce him to adviso the Crown to grant a licence to Convocation .
In reply to Lord John Russei / l , the Colonial Secretary intimated that he hoped soon to have favourable accounts from the seat of war at the Cape , and he also , at some length , entered into explanations why it had been deemed necessary to delay the transmitting of the constitution to that colony . The House had become very full , it being expected that Sir Alexander Cockburn would bring the Derby election case under the consideration of the House , but the Speaker , on Sir Alexander ' s name being called ,
expressed a decided conviction that the petition was informal . Sir A . Cockbtten declared his readiness to withdraw his motion , adding his opinion , however , that the petitioners were bound to give the parties complained against an opportunity of explanation . Sir J . Yab . de Btjixee professed his readiness to enter at once into the case on the part of Major Beresford . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that there would be no difficulty in devising the means of a speedy inquiry into the question , which he was sure everybody ( lftsired .
The motion was then withdrawn , and the House instantly thinned , with some apparent disappointment . The Solicitor-General for Ireland obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the proceedings in the superior courts of common law in that country . He explained its important details at great length , and stated that it contained 274 clauses . Mr . Hume moved for a call of the House for the day before that of Mr . Villicrs ' s motion , considering that a question of so much importance could not be finally settled unless there was a duo attendance of tho representatives of tho nation . Mr . Robert Palmer saw no object in tho motion , as there was no means of enforcing tho attendance of members , except at tho
mere call of their names . After some observations from Mr . Ewart and Mr . Carter in favour of tho motion , and ifom Lord llE . itN . AitD against it , the Chancellor of the Kxohkqueh remarked that tho timofor the call was very . short , but ho should certainly not oppose the motion , as that of Tuesday was in a considerable degree a question of confidence in Ministers . Sergeant Sunk declared that it would be quite impossible for certain Irish members to attend . Lord John Russell thought notice should havo been given of this motion immediately on that of Mr . Villiern ' H . Jiut tho House was always lenient in judging excuses for absence , and ho thought , the call should take place . The J louse then divided ; and Mr . Hume ' s motion was carried by 147 to 14-U—majority in its favour , <> .
Early in the evening the Cuanoki-loii of the Ms-( Miictia icit gave notice that he should move the following amendment to Mr . VilHers ' . s motion :--" Tliat thirt Jl ' ouso acknowledges with mil infliction that tho choaniieHH of i > rovisionn occasioned I > y recent legislation Jiiih mainly contributed to improve tho condition and to iiHirofi . so the comfort of ( lie working eluH . sen , and Unit , unrcmtriotod competition having been mioplcd nt ' tor duo deliberation iiM tho principln of our < : oniiiHircial HyHtem , thia HmiHo in of opinion that it in tho duty of ( Jovorninoiiti unreservedly to iidhoro to Hint policy in Miomo menmmiH ol ' lirumoiaL und iidminiHtnitivo reform which , undor the ciroiiiiint-aneoH of ( , lio country , thoy tuny doium it their duty to introduce . " In the House ? of Lords , the Kurl of St . ( JeumainB inquired from the ( loverinnent whether there was any prospect of the minutes of proceedings of the Interim tional Sanitary Conference held in l ' ariti in 1 . 851 , tor
the purpose of considering the quarantine regulations of Europe , being soon laid upon the table ? He also wished to know upon whose advice the letter from the Privy Council to the Commissioners of Customs was written , which directed that all vessels arriving from certain northern ports , or having recently suffered from cholera , should be placed in a state of precautionary quarantine , one passage in which he considered abandoned the only principle upon which the quarantine system couldbemaintained ? The noble earl further inquired whether the La Plata had been released from quarantine , and if not , what measures had been taken for the reception and accommodation of the unfortunate
persons on board the vessel ? The Earl of Maxmesbuby replied to the first question , that he could not lay the papers upon the table because the negotiations were not yet concluded ; but he had every reason to hope they would not terminate without ten or twelve countries signing the convention , if not all . The Earl of Lonsdale , in reply to the second question , said the letter in question had been written upon the advice of a skilful physician . With regard to the La Plata , a physician had been sent down to the port at which the vessel had arrived , from whence he would forward such recommendations as might seem desirable to him .
In reply to a question from Lord Eedesdale , Lord Colchester said the Government had come to the determination of moving for a select committee to consider the subject of railway regulation . The Earl of Debby added that when railway companies came to Parliament for new and amended bills to extend the powers they already possessed , the opportunity shcmld be taken to introduce fresh regulations for the conveyance of mails and troops . The event of the sitting , however , was a speech from the Earl of Derby , who spoke the panegyric of tho conduct of the people , in expressing his deep satisfaction and thankfulness at the result of the creat
solemnity of the funeral of the late Duke of Wellington , The Police and the Troops had behaved most admirably . "But , " he exclaimed , " we must not be unjust to other classes , without whose signal co-operation and admirable conduct I will not say the efforts of the military and polico would have been unavailing , but they undoubtedly rendered their task , arduous as it must have been under any circumstances , a matter of comparative ease and safety . My lords , when you consider how large a portion of tho population of the United Kingdom was for that single day crowded in the streets of the metropolis—when you remember , those at least to whose lot it fell to take a part in
that procession , and to sec it throughout its whole length —when you remember that throughout that long line , extending to about three miles , from Grosvenor-place to St . Paul ' s cathedral , there was not one single unoccupied foot of ground , and that 3 'ou passed through a living sea of faces all turned to look upon that great spectacle—when you saw every house , every window , every house-top , loaded with persons anxious to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of England ' s greatest son—when you saw those persons ( those , at least , in the streets ) remaining with entire and unflinching patience for many hours in a position in which movement wan scarcely posniblo , and yot that hardly a ( single accident occurred < o < ho
most feeble woman or child among that vast u . sscmblago —when through the whole of ( hat routo jiofc only was a perfect decorum preserved , and a perfect nnd ready assistance given to the efforts of the police and military , but that there was no unseemly eagerness to witness the magnificent spectacle , no light or thoughtless applause of its splendour ; but the people of England , in tho awful silenco of tlioao vast crowds , testified in tho most emphatic manner tho sense in which every man among them felt tho public loss that England has sustained . My lords , I know not how you looked upon this great manifestation , of tmblio feeling , and of public : good sense and order ; but , enow this , . that as 1 passed along those lines it was with
pride and satisfaction I felt that I was a IVllow-eoinitrynian of those who knew no Avell how to regulate and control themselves . And 1 could not help entertaining a hope that those foreign visitors who have done us and thembcIvch the honour of assisting at this grout , ceremonial might , on this occasion us well as on the occasion of the 1 st of'May , IBM , bear witness back to their own countries how wifely , and to what ivn extent , n people may be relied upon over whom the strongest hold of their government was their own reverence and respect for the free institutions of I heir country and the principles of popular selfgovernment , controlled and modified by a constitutional monarchy . " ( Cheers . )
Turning to the scene in SL Paul's , he Haiti , with evident emotion , and in faltering and subdued tones : " And when tho close of that , impressive rereniony approached— - when , amidst the solemn and mournful music , nlowly , and inch by inch , the coflin that , bore the illusliioiw departed descended into its last long resling-place , I , my Lords , wan near enough to hiw t lie cotintoniuircH of many veto run companions of his labours and bin triumphs , and was nenr enough to hear the suppressed h < i !> m , and to witiiesn tho hardly-chocked tear which would not havo dingraced Mio ehoek of Knglund ' H bravest non , uh they looked down for the hist timo upon all that was mortal of our mighty hero . "
He praised the conduct , of the Kronen Minister in attending the ceremony , and lauded the liij ^ h principle of the J > uke , who only fought to secure a lasting peace .

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . JAst week the total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts was 1022 . In the corresponding weeks of the tea years 1842-61 the average number was 1014 , which , if raised in a certain proportion according to increase of population , and for the sake of comparison with last week ' s mortality , becomes 1115 . Last week ' s Return is therefore of a favourable character . In the numbers of fatal cases referred to those classes of disease that contribute most to the general result , there is an obvious decrease on the previous week , with the exception of deaths from zymotic or epidemic diseases which continue at the same amount , and last week were 228 .
In this class scarlatina is still predominant ; the numbers produced by this cause having been in the last four weeks , 94 , 104 , 82 , and ( last week ) 88 , while those referred to typhus in the same periods were 62 , 44 , 47 , and 54 . Five children and two adults died of small-pox , 8 children of measles , showing still a low mortality for both these diseases . Four deaths resulted from influenza , and 2 from purpura ; 7 , only one of which occurred to an adult , from syphilis . With reference to affections of the respiratory organs ( exclusive of phthisis ) , it appears that the total mortality has declined in the last two weeks from 234 to 192 ; bronchitis showing a decrease from 105 to 78 , and pneumonia from 102 to 91 .
Last week the births of 691 boys and 769 girls , in all 1150 children , were registered in . London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1365 .
