Tom Hughes Against the Turfites and the Glitter and Glory of the “Derby.” The Moral of the Homily Lost in the Honse— Fire in the Metropolis, with Fatal Consequences, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 27, 1873. During the session of the House of Commons this evening the usual motion was ofered to ad- journ over the 5th of June, Derby day. Mr. Thomas Hughes protested against the prac- tice, and denounced as a public humiliation such action of Parliament in deference to what was called the national sport. He believed the example was injurious in the highest degree to public morals, He hoped the government would extend the operation of the Betting Houses act to Scot- land, where English sportsmen were still able to evadejthe law. The English papers were filled with betting advertisements purporting to emanate from Scotland. The police there were powérless against this gross scandal, which was daily in- creasing, because the local law sanctioned it. After further debate, in the course of which the government promised to extend the act to Scot- land, the motion to adjourn on the Sth proximo was carried, FIRE IN LONDON AND MELANCHOLY CONSEQUENCES. A fire, attended with a lamentable less of life, occurred this morning in Berkely square. Six per- sous were unable to escape irom the burning building, and perished.

They have sent copies to the foreign Ministers and the Bishops of their respective countries. Certain provisions of’ the bill have caused much perturba- Uon in the Holy City, an*, perhaps, ap unnecessary amount of apprehension, among the foreign comi- Munities established in the Italian capitai, which derive their incomes from lands and houses, Tne article of the bill especially affecting those foreigners 1s No 23, which runs as follows:— The ecclesiastical bodies founded for the benefit of for- eigners in the city of Rome, and comprised in the laws ot suppression, shall be able within two. years to create, in favor of the churches to them belonging, foundations for objects conformable with that of their institution, to these their property and regulating the administration ofit When the two shall have elapsed the law will cease to recogmize thelr civil personality, power is given to the King’s government to treat with the gov- ernment of the country to which the foreigners belong for whose benefit the institution was 1ounded concerning the destination ef the property corresponding to them.

THE YELLOWSTONE EXPEDITION, Mator Forsyth’s Report—The River Navi- gable As Far Up As the Powder River— 235 M Explored. CHicago, Ill,, May 27, 1873, Major George A. Forsyth, of General Sheridan's staf, has just returned from a trip up the Yellow- stone, and reports complete success in establishing the fact of the navigability of that stream from its mouth to Powder River. The exploration was de- termine! on some time ago fer military reasons, aud General Sheridan directed Major Forsyth to attempt the ascent of the river with a steam- boat of the largest size used on the wa- ters of the Upper Missouri. The steamboat Key West was selected, and after embarking a sulicient number of troops for self-defence she started on the 9ih inst. The boat drew twenty- six inches of water and carried an escort and crew of 160, The usual Spring rise had not yet occurred in the Yellowstone, and the water was lower than it had been for some cont eer Without the slightest dimculty the steamer passed over the first thirty-five miles, finding an ample depth of water in the channel, until she reached Stanley's Shoals, where there was only twenty inches of water. The shoals, however, was only about forty feet in width, and by using proper appliances the steamer worked through. She found diMculty in passing over the rapids and stopped at Ke: est Falls, twenty-one and a half miles from Powder River. These falls are the most diMcult of any, but by the removal of two small rocks, with about six square feet of surface and about thirty inches thick, whieh lie mme- diately in the middle of the channel of the river, it will be navigable sixty to eighty miles turther. Upon the crest of all the rapids the water was from four and a half to eight feet deep. The distance ascended was 235 miles, and the time from Fort Bulord to Powder River six and a half a The descent was made in five days. The Yellowstone is full of small islands, is well wooded along the banks and bottom generally gravel; consequently the banks don’t wash away, a8 ‘they do on the Upper Missouri. The valley 1s from two to twelve miles wide, and much of the soil is susceptible of cultivation.

Ata meeting of discharged soldiers to-night in- structions were given to the General Committee to return all moneys contributed to defray the ex- pense of Decoration Day tothe donors. This action was in consequence of the solicitation of funds from Brigham Young, Elder Wells and other Mormon leaders, The committee decided to return all the moneys collected and gave the whole sum into the hands of the treasurer of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be refunded te the contributors. A lecal newspaper says that Speaker Blaine sat in Brigham rounas privase box at the theatre. This is not true, r. Blaine did not call en Brig- ham at all, nor did he (like most public men who visit here) permit the Mormons to pay his bills, Brigham met Mr. Blaine on the cal id in the conversation which iollowed the Speaker talked very plainly to the Prophet concerning the politieal status of the Territory, ‘The weather is still cloudy, but the snow is rap- idly disappearing.

Pennsylvania Miners Resisting Arbi- trary Rules of a Coal Company—Threat- ened Strike at the Earliest Favorable Qo rtunity. bem 4 POTTSVILLE, Pa., May 27, 1873, The Philadelphia Coal and Iron Company, who control a large number of collieries in the coal region, issued an order compelling their employ¢s at the collieries to enter the mines before seven o’clock ip the morning and to remain until half- past five in the evening. A Committee of Confer- ence, consisting of one man from each of the eom- pany’s collieries, held a meeting here yesterday to obtain the opinions of the miners, with John Siney, the President of the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association, as President. After deliberate con- sideration the meeting adopted @ resolution as follows :— The rules posted at the colleries by the Coal and Tron Company have been so posted for the purpose of forcing the miners in their employ to strike, knowing, as they do, that compliance with the rule will keep many of us irom our homes thirteen hours a day. After a review ef the coal trade the committee conclude that this is a very unfavorable time to re- sist the rules, as such action would place the miners in a wrong position before the public; the company having between six and seven thousand cars standing loaded would be relieved of the odium of stopping themselves. The following resolutions were then adopted :— Resolved, That we refuse to strike at this time, believing that the company will have to stop in order to shorten the surplus of coal. Resolved, That we, the employes of the Philadelphia and Readi: ‘onl and Iron Company, enter our solemn inst these obnoxious rule: Resolved, That we hereby give due notice to the com- pany and the public that at the first favorable opportunity ‘we will resist these rules in a body, and we ask the assist- ance of every workingman in our county and State in re- elling the onward march of this oppressive company, Por when they succecd. in crushing the. manhood put of our miners, and depriving us of eur independence, then will come the day of retribution for the rest of the citizens everywhere, that they may rule supreme. Resolved, That this convention impress upon their con- stituents to strictly adhere to the Jaws as Iaid down in the Ventilation act, and have them strictly enforced; and wherever there should be any infringement of to demand the inspector's immediate attention, and if said inspector will not enforce the law that we proceed against him, according to the law laid down in said Ven- tilation aet. It {a reported that the miners at Indian Ridge colliery have refused to compiy with the demands of the company and are out on strike; and at an- other colliery they have turned out for inerease of wages. ned nk UNION OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND WITH THE DOMINION, HALIPAX, May 27, 1873.

An Agreeable Surprise for the Sage of Concord on His Return frem Europe— A Truly Hearty Welcome for Our Car- lyle. Concorp, Mass., May 27, 1873. A very kindly reception was given in this village to Mr. Emerson on his return from Europe this afternoon, He was met at the railroad station by a very large number of citizens and the children of the public schools, A procession was then formed, composed of carriages, the citizens and children, with the Concord Band, which proceeded to Mr. Emerson's residence, the house having been rebuilt during his absence, In front of the house a very tasteful arch, bearing the word “Welcome,” ‘was erected and beautifully decorated with flowers. On reaching the house tne carriages passed be- tween two lines of children, while the band per- formed “Sweet Home” and ‘Home Again,” Alter a few moments Mr. Emerson reappeared, and, st ll oppressed by his feelings of surprise and gratifica- tion, expressed in his own characteristic way his thanks to his fellow citizens for their kindness and sympathy at the return of an old man and his daughter. The whole affair was a surprise and very success. fully carried out, All our prominent citizens took part on the oerasion, JAPAN IN NEW YORK. Establishment of a Consulate from the Mikado—Views of the Consul and an Oriental Treasury Commissioner. Japan will very soon become as much en rapport with America as with England or with France. All our inventive produets will find their way to that singular country within very few years, Those people are wonderfully alive to American enter- prise and industry, and they have been profiting from them in every degree and branch for years. ‘The opening of Japan to the civilization of the world reminds one of the legend of Sir Galahad, who assaulted the fortress of love and beauty and conquered in the effort. The various efforts this country has made to make Japan realize the force of Western civilization has been crowned at last with the most brilliant suc- cess, and to-day we find that in the busy, prac- tical atmosphere of Wall street this hitherto un- known land of the Orient has established a repre- sentative in the person of Mr. Tetsnoche Tomita, Vice Consul of the Empire of Japan. A Henatp reporter called yesterday afternoon at the newly-established office of the Consulate, 45 Exchange place, and met a tall, gentlemanly man, named Mr. W. E. Church, who acted as secretary to the Consul, and who was most intelligent and courteous in affording information. Many other civilittes offered by Mr. Church were exhibitions of Japanese literature, including a aa of a daily journal published in Tokel, which in its own place what the HERALD is to the American Continent. Besides Consul Tomita there ts also present in this clgy one of the Commissioners of the Treasury of the Japanese government, Mr. Makayma, who is looking after financial examples in the American | em ge to imitate. He is a smart, stalwart, intelligent looking fellow, and probably he will study well the antecedents and accomplishments of the recent Treasury Secretaries in Washington before he makes an official report. The ad- vantages of this Japanese Consulate in New York are at once apparent, and it 18 among the creditable features which distinguish the administration that it has been finally and 80 success! established, Years ago there came to America an embassy from the clime of the Orient. Among the visiting Commissioners was one whose name and fame are still fresh in tne minds of the then fair and youthful belles of Gotham. That little “cuss,” to speak somewhat emphatically, was known then and will be remem- bered now as ‘Japanese Tommy.’’ Then a strip- pling to all appearances, he was nevertheless a young man of quick conception and happy ob- servation, and it is to his credit-that he forgot the faults of America and remembered her virtues. Other Japanese youths who have visited “the land of the free and the home of the brave” in later years have, through common instinct, found that the little Tommy of the em- bassy was right in his opinions and estimations of the character of the Angle-Saxon, and one of the results is that now there are in the Eastern and Middle States over two hundred young Japs going through the rudiments of a handsome education, Some have already graduated and gone home, but others are constantly coming and filing thelr places, and in the best colleges of America there are mere applications trom pupils from the Oriental land. The returning graduates, asthe Consul assured the HERALD reporter, are full of America and American customs, and they are quickly caught up and faithfully personated by the youthful natives. Even the English language is a luxury which is sought for, and when that is once begun to be wnderstood in the Oriental king- dom the happy anticipations of a fraternal union between Japan and America are likely to be real- ized, All bail, then, Mr. Consul Tetsnoche Tomita! HEALTH OF BROOKLYN. Important Session of the New Sanitary Commissioners—The Wauses of Dis: je to be Removed—Work Before the Sanitary Sentinels—Additional In. spectors to be Appointed—Manifcsto to the Public. The newly organized Brooklyn Board of Health Com- missioners held an important conference last evening with the Commissioners of the Board of City Works for the purpose of harmonizing the two departments, aud thereby promoting the working efficiency of the sanitary system. The meeting was held with closed doors at the Health office, Washington street, near Johnson. General Jordan presided, and an amicable understanding was had in relation to abatement of nuisances, the sewerage system, &c. The subjoined highly important proc! ton of the Health Commissioners was read and han to the press for publication -— The reports recently presented by the Inspectors, de- tailing the condition of their respective districts, lave been read with great interest by the Sanitary Commis slonors. for the consideration of the n produce disease and death, they necessarily reproduce the catalogue of evils which aro constantly prevent in every populous community. Tene- ment houses, crowded and ily ventilated; inhabited cel- Jara unfit for dwellings; gutters reeking with, decom. posing animal and vegetable matter; garbage in yards and streets: hog pens in the midst of populous districts; water, ponded and offensive from DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE AND WANT OF SEWAGE: privies and cesspools. occupying the rear of y ing the atmosphere with their reekin accumulations, and in the outskirts of the city iarge and small establishments for utilizing the refuse of the city, which, from the nature of the work done, are a source 0! annoyance and disease. From such a statement, which embodies but a portion of the list, the inierence ix legitimate that the death rate in proportion to population must be excessive, Such ts the fact. Our city, which, from its location, snould be the heaithiest, uniortunately ranks, as shown by the bills of mortality, among those Whose percentage of deaths is the highest, and occupies such an unenviable position, it is believed,’ mainly on account of the existence of these many sources of ill health, It seems incredible that in the community of si telligence, of universal love of health and Iffe, th evils should be tolerated. But here, as elsewhere, the main energies of the great mass of our population are concentrated upon efforts to secure the means of living, Competition calling for the utmost diligence in busi- ness, the severe demands upon vital strength and daily labor, the want of appreciation, from igno- rance or indifierence, of influences that lessen the power of body and mind and promote actual disease, added to the utter inability to remove many that arg palpable and recognized, caused the most vital consid- erations to assume & secoudary and comparatively unim- oriant position. These are the considerations which Fave always led to the passage of laws and to the Aap ointment of men to take cognizance of evils affecting ihe health of communities and to do as organized bodies for the peop'e that which the individual for want of time, want of information or want of power could not do. RECENT LEGISLATION HAS SECURED POR OUR CITY a law with powers sufficlently ample to enforce all neces- sary sanitary regulations, The organization of this Board, under the law, is a direct proclamation to the public t to the fullest extent its provisions will be used to secure immunity against the sources of disease. Thefirst duty, evidently, is to arouse the public mind as to the necessity of sanitary regulations—to demonstrate that the general well being of all—that health and life itself depend upon PREVENTIVE MPASURES. These should be so just that it will be the pride of every good citizen to aid their enforcement: so thorough and comprehensive in their nature that, while immediate re- sults are seen, the far-off future will reap their full benefits. It is apparent that the desirable results secured by the Board wilidepend upon the intelligence of tts agents in making their inspections and reports, and the promptness with which the orders of the Board are ¢x- ecuted. Our citizens should understand that the issuing of an order means that the whole power o: the law will be used, if required, in i ti ovr that the highest value that neither in manufactory allowed any festering nuisance to swell our bills of mor- lity, ‘OUT shipping merchants must learn that the agents of stand as sentinels to watch tor and prevent ard of ny ich in- uch h estimate placed upon life and health by those ap- pointed to execute tts provisions. The following statements need no demonstration that there exists numerous fori of disease, whose danger will be greatly increased by the heat of Summer ;—That a great deal of sickness and a large percentage of deaths result from causes that can be modified if not entirely removed; that the proper work of the Board is an agaressive one, necessitating the seeking out of places of danger by a speedy and systematic inspection of the city; that for a time the Fire Inep must be employed im investi- gating compiaints made by citizens. Hence itis recommended that at the next regular meeting of tho Board six assistant sanitary inspecto appointed, ata salary of $125 per month, for such th their services are required; that they devote at least cignt hours per day w the service of the Bi form such duties and report at such times he judg. ment of the Sanitary Superintendent will best subserve the public in There was a numerous and fashionable assemblage of ladies and gentlemen at Grace church, Hicks street, ‘on the Heights,” yesterday afternoon. The occasion was the performance of the funeral ceremonies over the remains Paymaster George L. Mead, United States brought on to Brooklyn last week.
