With the limitations he proposed, he believed that the ballot was quite practicable, but the noble lord the NMI& her for Tiverton proposed to alter the title Si the MB before it was brought in. The proper time kr 'that alteration would have been at the end of the bid , when the question would have been put by the Speaks& Bat the noble lord took a different course ; owl be (Lord J.

He considered that the pregosition of the noble lord had materially the ohmmeter of the bill; and the noble lord martetie have eo amoidcred it, or he would not have taken the mumi mum be did. 1u short he (Lord John Russell) felt riser ba wee g aped in just the mine position as he should best bees if had proposed • bill to extend the suffrage, and IS ems proposed that the bill should be ono for universal sod ' gjer. (Hear, hear.) The bill of the present government ollorly carried into effect the object of the femme but it contained provisions which had bees 'smoldered by the late government, and bed bees by them deliberately rejected. Ou one point he wished for further explanation, and, if possible, sone amendment in the bill. Supposing it were not necessary te recur to the ballot, but that a sufficient number of men were obtained by the bounty, it seemed to him most essential that they should obtain the regular, settled inhabitants of the parishes or districts to which they belonged—not unsettled, repast peruse, who merely came for the sake of ohtefnisg the Si. He hod boom told that the Secretary at War would make regeladoss is secure this—a very unsatisfactory course. (Hear, hear.) Is former militias parliament had taken especial care, by ex press clauses and provisions, to see that its object wee est. ried into effect. If they were to hare 80,000 men with anal is their hands, to be trained fur a certain time, them 110,006 mon should be trustworthy men. (Hear, hear.) He bop& that before the bill passed, the Home Secretary, instead of leaving the matter entirely to the die. eretion of the Secretary at Wsr, would put in same demo or proviso by which those regulatioos, which had no desist Item osseidered, would be laid before the house. (Hoar, hem.) If 60,000 men were to be raised this year at an e5=350,0001., =350,0001., it was not too much that the House of as should know what were the maturities for their beleg persons of good character, so that there might be at beet s presumption in favour of their being persons who Melo trusted with arms in their hands. (Hear, hear.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL said: A local militia could map be 'Mee out in case of an actual invasion, or an enemy =Vupon the coast, or of a rebellion or an inseam. A.* mould only be kept on foot six months atom trt seimphed left the coast or been repelled ; and in a toed EOM se substitutes were allowed. The noble lord bad brought forward his bill to establish a local militia. Lord J. RUSSELL—No. To amead the Local ilLitie AM. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, as it was a bill to amend the Local Militia Act, the militia established thereby would have been a local militia. But the noble lord pro posed that they should be called out on an invasion being apprehended, and should be kept on foot longer than six months. The noble lord's bill also allowed substitutes. It was not, therefore, shill for slue militia. The noble lord (Palmerston) seeing this, said, "Don't give • false title to your bill ; it is nut a local militia you propose to establish;" sad, for that reason, be moved that the title should be changed ; thereupon, the noble lord said, " No, if you put a anger upon it, we will throw it up ;" and accordingly he had, somewhat hastily, left office. (Hear, hear.) Now he was indirectly throwing all the obstructions in his power in the way of the government measure. Lord - J. RUSSELL said he bad thought the distinction between a local and • general militia suMcient to induce him not to proceed with his intention of bringing in a bill. He was still of opinion that the clauses were not suffi cient, but he should offer no obstacle to their passing. After • few words from Mr. WAILS! and the Anna -2411Y-GENERAL, in explanation, The committee proceeded with the business before them. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY expressed his conviction of the nermity of the bill, and begged to aware the noble lord r 11) that he had seriously damaged his character with e i ssletituents by the course he had taken on this bill. He pissed implicit confidence in the discretion of the go verment. After a few words from Mr. CARTZIL, Admiral STEWART observed that at the beginning of this century, when an invasion was anticipated, our naval supremacy bad been fully established; notwithstanding, volunteer. enrolled themselves all over the country, and even the judges of the land buckled on their armour. He objected to the present bill because it was expensive, in efficient, and would not properly train any part of the na tion to eras. (Hear, hear.) He thought the money could be much better expended, and that it would be more to the purpose to carry oat the suggestion made by Sir Howard Douglu in a recent work, combined with the plan proposed by the hon. and gallant member for Windsor (Col. Reid). A fortified encampment to protect the metropolis, and to protect the river would be more secure, and less expensive Sea the enrolment of a militia. A late witty eseenber of society said that the noble lord the somber for London would not hesi tate to lobe the commend of the Channel fleet. (Laughter.) Bat the boa. member for the West Riding was, it seemed, to do more. (Hear, hear.) He out-Heroded the lied, for he would, he believed, not only take the emisand of the fleet, but he would take upon himself the distribution of the whole fleet, and leave the Admiralty seeing whatever to do. (" Hear, hear," and laughter) He would recommend to the hon. gentleman to be content with the triumph he obtained in the abolition of the corn laws, en which luestion the seal and ability he dis played placed him far beyond any of his confreres. He neither approved of the present measure nor of that of the noble lord, and he could only say of them—a plague on both your bills. (Hear, bear.) Attar • brief discussion, in which Mr. Gibson, Sir F. Baring, Lord Palmerston, Sir G. Pechell, end Lord D. Stuart, took part, Mr. HUME would suggest to his right hon. friend that he should take the sense of the house on the whole clause. Kr. Hinson having assented, the blank was filled up with "thirty thousand." Several verbal amendments having been agreed to, Mr. BRIGHT moved • proviso, to except militia men from cororal punishment. He instanced the case—" the murder," ea he described it --of White, of the 7th Hawn, some pare ago, woo died from the effects of the dogging he steiskod ' • and asked whether the House of Commons would reettler the honest artisan, who was required to go out he a few days in the year, liable to such degrading enmities ? Cokes! THOMPSON eseenied the motion. TIN SECRETARY-AT-WA E ereeerred with the hon. member for Meneherter in wishes that he might live to see ths day who. corporal peheiheat in the army simeld be sehrely abolished. He had haled on a former maim that wham ia army UMW, was se wea r his dodos awn disassemble than earaailes the lediesotral punish meat. DM be bad always esmidered thet Whim * ionis e and the militia a sufficient law was to coerce and control. With regard a ietate• of in the army he had referred to the ahem he the past year, and he found that th e Irbil British army at home and abroad, only 197 had been inflicted. The army consisted of Irr h egit alls Ole and battalions. The amount of punishment, thereffine, ha apes individuals out of 4,000, er only 4 am to (Beer, bear.) Those who bad Mss keg eeehe legli =h he army would see at once what • taken gl ad s the it r etina of corporal t. He had himself seen three or four alts in day. He maintained that the militia could not er ought not to be levied without the application to it of the Mutiny Act. It would be an insult to the British army to my that those who were termed the scum of =sluteld be relieved from its operation, and they the rosy, still exposed to it. (hear, bear.) a was peedeelerees to suppose that • forte, levied for • military thlas, could be properly controlled by those laws only i etere put in force by the magistracy. Mr. BRIGHT had been misunderstood. Redid not wish any other parts of the Mutiny Act, except that applying Corporal punishment to be abolished. The SECRETARY-AT-WAR was quite reedy to meet the hon. gentleman on that point. If the charges for im morality, disobedience, or neglect of duty, referred to by the bon. member for Manchester, were exempted from the operation wtevof of of the am M or t:li og ny Act, them w o r d ld7 ff m oo ai o n o no power against property maid only be punished by the magistracy. The irucibility of an officer might bring a man to • court martial, but it would be for the officers composing the court-martial to say what should be his punishment. The hon. member had alluded to the case of an individual in the 7th Human, who was, he said, murdered. He was merry that the hon. member should have used such an expression. What were the facts of the CM. ? Frederick White was guilty of the most violent and insubordinate conduct; his sentence was pronounced, not by a court martial consisting of only five officers, but by a district oeurt-martial translating of 13 officers selected from diffe rent regiments. On the 16th of June he received 160 lashes. He went on very well until the 4th or sth of Jul? He was then taken ill. Before.his death the Horse Guards sent down two additional medical men belonging to the army to assist the regimental surgeon, and those two gen tlemen declared, on their medical reputation and on their honour as officers and as gentlemen, that he did not he from the torpor-II punish:neat, but that he had • disease which was the cause of death. Looking at those facts, it war not fair to say that he was munlered. The lose corporal punishments were inflicted the greater would always be the satisfaction of officers; and he felt sure that if the words of which the his. member eampleined were inserted, they would be in: !Wad la the milltla at suldana as, U not soon seldom than, is the army itself. He set think, however, that the boa. member had mele ms fair ease for putting the mi llet under Calmat from the army. Mr. M'COLLAMM ask, what could he the use of ha rat punishments vibes the militia was not In but merely is be sailed out for training!? (Thar, bear.) 31r. LENNARD said the house could not hope to secure a desirable class of men by voluntary enlistment if power were given to inflict this degrading punishment. No doubt It was iaeonsiseent to relieve the militia from liability to such a punishment while It was continued in the regular army, but the best way would be to abolish it altogether. He thought the time was now come for the abolition. Captain BOLDER° said no man formerly took • mom aetive part again co st rporal punishment than himself. (liear, hear.) His feelings were thoroughly enlisted, and though brought up in the army, he boldly stood up against the system. (Hear.) It was improbable that re gulars and militia might be in garrison together, and would hon. members think it fair that one branch of the public force should be liable to • punishment from which the other was exempt ? The yeomanry also, which were strictly a volunteer corps, were subject to the provisions of the Mutiny Act. Mr. ROEBUCK was astonished that an hon. and gallant =smiler who fur the last half dozen years advocated the abolition of flogging in the army should now seek to establish that punishment in the militia. (Hear, bear.) Captain BOLDBRO—I sought its abolition or mitigation. Mr. ROEBUCK—Mitigation what did that mean ? Ile saw the Secretary at War himself laughing at the hon. and gallant member's distinction. It meant that the lash should be retained, but less of it inflicted. They might depend upon it that with such a provision they would not get • force that would have the respect of the country. He would not have the punishment in the army or the militia. (Hear, hear.) They wished for voluntary enlistment, and to avoid the ballot, if possible, but if they wanted or expected honour able men they must 6 trike out this degrading provision, (lieu.) Lord JOCELYN thought that corporeal punishments should only be used for degrading offences. (Hear, hear.) Ile believed it was never applied in any other case, and he knew that officers never had • more painful duty than its indiction. But the proper time for discussing the question I was when the Mutiny Bill was brought forward. Mr. Williams, Mr. Clay, and Col. Salwey supported the proviso. Col. KNOX believed if the Mutiny Act were not to apply, it would be better to have no militia force at all. Mr. WAK LEY suggested that if flogging was good for the bad soldier, it should be equally good for the bad odleer. Mr. EWART earnestly pressed on the government the prudence, the justice, and the propriety of taking the ad vice which had been just offered to them. Arguing from what bad resulted from the diminution of this punishment of flogging, and from what had been the effect of the dimi nution of other severe punishments for crimes in civil so ciety, a direct case was made out for the abolition of the system altogether. The hon. member then proceeded to quote from the celebrated evidence given by the soldier White at the Hounslow inquest, in illustration of the readi ness of colonels to order floggings. Lord .10CF.LYN suggested to the hon. member that this evidence could not be of much value, since it proceeded from the man implicated in the transactions referred to. (Loud cheers.) Mr. EWART—Yes. But the evidence was given on oath ; and if the truth is not denied— Col. PEEL—I deny the truth of it. (Loud cheers.) The offene7s mentioned by the man were not the offences for which he was punished. (Loud cheers.) Therefore it is not the truth; and the hon. gentleman knows it as well as I do. (Loud cheers.) Sir 11. VERNEIt was understood to cxpreu en opinion that it would be necessary to retain the right of flogging, as an exceptional punishment, and to reserve severe examples. Mr. EWART (greatly excited) said—l must ask the gal lant officer opposite for some explanation. I have under stood him, and my hon. friends near me have understood him to say, that what I stated was untrue, and that I knew it to be untrue. (Loud cries of " No, no," " Yes yes," and confusion.) Well ; if the gallant colonel did not say so, he will no doubt explain ; but if he did say so, and does not retract, I shall be obliged—l shall feel myself obliged—to tell him the truth on the sub ject. (Roars of laughter, amid which Mr. Ewart resumed his seat.) The CHAIRMAN thought that the committee would feel disposed to me this personal discussion closed. (Loud cheer...) Colonel I'EEL—What I said was, that the offences re ferred to by White, were not the offences for which he was punished ; and as the hon. member must know all about the debates which took place at the time on the subject, I say he must know that what I state is the fact. The hon. member cannot pretend to tell me that he never read the debates ; and if he did, he must know that the man was not flogged for the offences which he spoke of in the paper read by the hon. member. (Cheers, and cries of "Oh, oh.") Mr. GIBSON—The hon. and gallant member is under some misapprehension. There seems a confusion of two cases. He r ieems to think it was another case than that mentioned by my hon. friend. (No, no.)_ Well, then, I don't understand it. (Great laughter.) This is how the matter stands, then. My hon. friend states that a soldier alleged at an inquest that for such and such things he was punished with 100 lashes. Now, if you can show that is not true, you ere of course at libe rty to show it. (Laughter, and cries of " That's not the question.") Mr. BRIGHT attempted to address the house, but he was met by cries, and groans, and strange noises from the ministerial side, below the gangway, and not a syllable be uttered could be heard. Great laughter was excited by Mr. Hume rising and patting Mr. Bright on the shoulder, and in expreuive dumb show beseeching silence for his hon. friend. The entreaty was partially successful, and in the diminished but still great uproar, Mr. Bright was understood to say that, u far as he had gathered what had passed, the gal lant colonel had not implied that the hon. member for Dumfries had stated what wee not true, but simply that he had stated whet, on a more complete knowledge of the facts, he would find to be incorrect. (Cries of " Hear, hear," and other cries of " No, no—you're quite wrong.") Colonel SIBTHORP also spoke amid great confusion and disturbance. Ho maintained that large discretionary powers might be safely entrusted to courtemartial. He could assure the boo. member for Manchester that if he (Mr. Bright) were a militia-man, and had misconducted himself, and he (Colonel Sibthorp) were on the court-martial, ho would have no compunctiln whatever in ordering the hon. member to be well flogged. (Great laughter.) Colonel THOMPSON said ever since he had had the honour of • sent in the house he had taken every opportu nity of stating his opinion that the practice of flogging in the army was detrimental to discipline. Did it not occur to them that three-fourths of the objections to passing this militia bill arose from the apprehension that men in the militia would be subject to corporal punishment ? Men would oppom to the last a law in which they saw the most remote possibility that they might be called on by conscription to serve in the militia, and be subject to corpo ral punishment. After a few observations front Mr. Hewn, which were not heard in the gallery, Mr. WALPOLE said the hon. member for idolatress said that he had observed an ominous silence on this subject. He certainly thought it was • question that lay more within the department of the Secretary at War. He had listened with great attention to the debate, and he would give his opinion. He thought it was perfectly clear that they had been arguing a general question, an d that gene ral question they could not determine at the present mo ment. Whether it was advisable to do away with corpo- I ral punishment was • question on which ho had partial ignorance till it was fully discussed. But they bad passed the Mutiny Act, by which corporals in the army wore liable to corporal punishment, and having passed that act, it would be unjust if the militia were placed on a better footing than the regular army. His gallant friend bad put it in so strong a light, that he did not think the committee could consent to the proviso proposed by the hon. member for Manchester. Suppose some of the mnitiawere placed in garrison with the soldiers in the army, the soldiers in the I aemy would feel that they were in a position to have a rat inflicted on them which the militia were not subject to. If this determined this question with reference M the militia they must determine it in reference to all , their forces whatever they might be, and supposing that I hereafter they entered into the general question and decided that corporal punishments ought not to be inflicted, then , be should say it ought not to be extended to the militia, but so long as they kept it in the army he should say they were bound to apply it to the militia. Mr. HUMS said there were two classes of persons who would come under this law—one that would volunteer and others that would come under the ballot. He thought that those who were compelled to serve ought not to be subject to the lash. Mr. BRIGHT said the right hon. gentleman would bear in mind that the Mutiny Act had a clause in it which expressly stated that its provisieus should not apply to the militia, unless the act tannic the militia should specially place the militia under the act. The 42nd Geo. 111. also provided that the militia should be under the Mutiny Act, except as to life and limb. All that he proposed was, that there should be added to that, except the mutilation of the ►ack by the lash. The committee then divided— For the proviso 92 Against it Majority The proviso was therefore lost. Mr. ROEBUCK then moved that the Chairman report progress. Mr. WALPOLE appealed to the hon. gentlemen oppo site to allow the clause to be passed but The motion was eventually agreed to ; the committee ob taining leave to sit again on Monday. The home then resumed. STAMP DUTIES (I RELAND) CONTINUANCE This bill passed though PROPERTY TAX BILL. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, Mr. HUME moved that the house do now aJjourn.

Mr. II UME withdrew his motion. The CHANCELLOR of th•EXCHEQUER then brought up a clause, providing that the assessment of last year under Schedules A and II should remain in force.
