IiTESDAY‘ EVENING, MARCH 17, 1863. retorted to the deep interest which we had to the rod go. 'turnout of that country, and Mien stated that the Greeks, by the «latest 1111SUIM0114 otter of their throne to hien,. Alfred, had evinced their medium to look up to England for guitlauou aud protection. But he n,gretted to bud himself compelled to add that is his opeeios the cionduct of her Majesty's government *amnia Greece throughout the recent transactions had been neither just nor poem* and that their &Mous and insincere policy W been productive 'eV great injury • to the Greek people. The noble earl the Secretary of Suite for Foreign Affairs had at the outset very properly communicated to the governments of Frases sed Russia Ins belief that the reigwng families of this!, powers were excluded by protocol from lug right to furnish a candidate for the vacant throne. &it Mr. Smitten ada Mr. Elliot. the diplomatic agents of this country I. Greece, acting oo doubt upon instructions received from the noble earl, had virtually supported the candidature of Prince Alfred. and had thus contributed to, deprive the Greeks of the support of the other powers. After wash* of isrucnoltination, however, it wu unmated on the pert of her Mallet'', government that under no circomstarosts would her Majesty allow Prince Alfred to accept the offer of the Greek throne. Then came the mndidature of the Duke of Saxe. C,oburg, which, after nnother period of delay and mystery, had ended in a similar disappointmeet to Greece ; and the people of that country were thus reduced to a state of the most extreme difficulty and embernus• meet. For his part he regretted that Prince Alfred was not allowed to accept his election to the vacant sovereignty. He hoped, at all events , that fresh deceptions were riot in store for the Greeks, and that if they bad been promised the Josue Islandsthstprounse would be fulfilled. Mr. GREGORY mid he had followed the observations of his boo. friend with much attention, and with that portion of them in which he regretted the present untoward state of Greece he (Mr. Gregory) entirely concurred. Ile also sympathised entirely with those generous aspirations that his hoe. friend had expressed with regard to the future of Greece. But the sentence in which his hon. (rased had uttered those aspiration concluded with an ex pression of the wish that Prince Alfred had been permitted to aseeod the throne of Greece. Having regard, however, to the interests of this country and af G., ace, he (Mr. Gregory) thought t.ist nee bislcst)'• go vernment had taken the right come. (Hear, hear.) to ilet...ad/esti, of those considerations rebidb were contained in Earl Russell's despatch on the position of Prince Alfred as r. gaoled the crown of Englan 1, we could not shut our eyes to the fact that jealousies m art have nine from his acceptance of the throes, that ompheatioos of a grave diameter might have arisen, that an example might have Aeon given for thrones to have bom ocroni..l hv. ave. end to have been made for, future royal. and perhaps imperial princes, and a most dangerous precedent might have been established. He maw no reason why Greece should not have her grandee idle as well as France or Italy. If the Greeks aspired to Constantinople for their capital. and to &Sophia for their temple, he trusted they might ultimately succeed ; but he hoped they would obtain that extension of territory, not by violence, oppression, or intrigue, but 'by giving an example of good government, which would make the sur rounding countries naturally gravitate towards them. Mr. MILNES doubted whether his boo. friend had dose good service to the Greek cause by diverting the question into a Turkish one. (Hear) rhe Greeks had given the best prod of their capacity for self-government by direct. ing, in the present crisis of their fate, their emegies to in ternal affairs and abstaining from foreign aggression. He believed that the foreign policy of the government was founded on the best and *merest intimation. towards Greece, but the issue had not been as successful as the intention was good. They showed their interest in Greece, but he doubted whether they treated that country with proper res pect in leaving her to be dealt with eatitely by diplomatista. Why should she not establish herself on a municipal basis, and continue, at least for some period, a republican form of government? If she did. be believed she would acquire a high position. It would be a hard and a strong test; but let her succeed in doing Una and the time would conic when primal would not think it unworthy of them to become chief magistrate of such a state. and to take part in the future destiny of such a people. lie regretted to say that hitherto the mercantile classes of Greece, with whom it was impossible to compete in the commercial cities of Europe, had refrained from exercising oo behalf of their own country Eat energy and Intelligence of which they were constantly giving proof. and which enabled them to take back to their own country the wealth of which they were possessed. Lel cot the Greeks go about Europe for merely nominal sovereign as a symbol of foreign protection. He pmfoune ( y regretted that by the conditions of the protocol they were prevented mating Moire of each men as the Doke of Lenchtenberg, Priem Napoleon and the Duke of Cambridge. (Hear.) Mr. LAYARI) defended the policy of tbe government in reference to that question. They were precluded by the engagements into which this country had en tered from allowing an English prince to accept the throne of Greece ; and, on the other had, it was impossible' foe them to prevent the Greek people from putting forward any candidate they might think proper. He believed that the moderate course which the British government pursued in Eastern Europe was the beet calculated to pro mote the real interests of the Greeks themselves, and at the same time to melanin the pone of the world. Gomm 'odd sow devote herself to the development of her re sources without the apprehension of any foreign aggression; and it should be borne in mind that the Mahomedans in Europe could not be expected to surrender the territories they at present occupied without a struggle, which would most y be attended with the greatest calamities. Lord J. MANNERS said he had saver known a debate which had wandered no moth from the subject before the house, and he would endeavour to meths himself to it. If the Turkish government would pay attention to their comrnerm, discharge their debts, and respect the rights of their neighbours, they might be left done. The question which the home had to discus. now war—had the conduct of the Em.l government been straightforward and honest and calculated to maintain the dignity of England and the tranquillity of Eastern Europe? He was prepared to contend that the English government had failed ia these particulars. In his opinion the cession of the lonian Islands was a most impolitic measure on the part of England. Looked at from an English point of view, it was giving up a valuable and impotent naddernmsen sta tion ; and in the eyes of Europe it was the abeam meet of a trust which had been edema, imposed and fairly accepted. AA to the safeguards proposed, they would not, in the case of an European ferment, be worth the paper on which they were written. In all the nonagon. dense which had passed on this important subject he mold not is. that a word was said about the parliament of Ear land. There bad been a case of the kind occur before. in 1708, when a *sanction having been perfected by the government, was afterwards conosiled by the parliament. If this cession were carried oat, Corfu would certainly become the centre and swims of a succession of send-piratical ex peditions menet Epirue and Themaly, and p refuge for all the troublesome and revolutionary spirits of satire Europe. Perhaps the beat solution of the difficulty would be to con fer the crown of Green on the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs, when the sew kimdoes would obtain a model of a coastitutional monarchy,aod Regisad wouldloee for a time at lean the envier of the most oda the most impulsive, and the neon meddlesome of all her minister.. (A laugh.) Mr. H. SEYMOUR defended the government, and ceps. daily Lord Russell, In their adherence to the protocol of 1830 e A more energetic action ought to have been takes with the Turks since 1866. They ought to have been told in peremptory Impose that if they did not make the reforms they had sopged to moth, out they must go. He rejoiced that the government had taken the coarse they had done with regard to the lonises Islands, sad he should ' rejoice to see them united to Greece. That would be the binds's* of the solution of the Turkish question. HENRY SCOTT said the guidon was—whether government had pursued a straightforward course in this water; and it appeared to him that they had not. If they had actually athoonced to Greece that Prince Alfred was sot to booms king, this unfortunate imbroglio would mot have arisen. It seemed to him that her bfejeely's govern ment had been actuated marebyadesiretoprevest theDoke of Leuchtesbarg being King of Greece tins to have a king elected. It was a Very unworthy parition in which to place Prince Alfred, namely, that of a "stubble" candidate to provost the eleatioa of a Russian. (Rear, hear.) Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained of the vacillation and uncertainty which had characterised the policy of this country towards the Ottoman Empire—at one time making a point of maintaining its integrity, at another allowing the jpgdom of Greece to be formed oat of it ; and thee refinilig to allow that kingdom to them provinces so indis solubly connected with its easiest history and most glorious anociatioes, that it cooldaever see them easteatedly severed from it. Mr. CAVE was glad to hear the premier grate lately that be was not about to abandon Gibraltar or Malta ; but it must not be forgotten that the t abl e l or d, in 1861, used precisely the same leaguers with regard to the lonian Wands, which now the government were willing to give up. He (the boo. member) looked epos the future of Greece with more hope than be looked to that of Tur key, bat at the same time be admitted the Logan Islands were sot of such value to Eoglaed as they were before the introduction of Noun, @wee with regard to our lodise omit -1111110i0141/011.1, and especially sham the exteesioe of railroads ia Italy. Bat a rapture with Frame or Italy would make the route by Trieste, and oenseqnsatly the possession of Corfu, of great impertusee. (Hear, hear.) The fortifica tines woes of oresidereble strength, sad in the days of Col lingwood, when far weaker Shea at present, kept at bay • whole British squadron. The islands involved • foe- Womble annual expense, and placed us in • some. what false position, bat they could not stood alone. Their manifest destiny was Greece, for Greek they were, and he should not object to use them belong to Greece ; but it must be to • well governed and tranquil Greens, and they most sot be used as • sloppier-stoop to sumesioo oo their neigh bours. °MOO Mid prove that eke could govern live cities barge she could claim to be invested with tea. (Hear, bear.) We had done the converse. He believed the ex pease of the lonise lalaods might be greatly lammed ; but however that might be, be felt the truest sisoncene au cur part wee the maintenasee of the eatioeal character, and that by this prectipitericy we were acting inconsiderately towards our allies, and would gain neither the gratitude of Greece nor the good °plaice of Europe. (Chem.) Mr. CLIFFORD said the people of the !mien Islands might be divided into two elasess—thone who had got places and Wes who wanted places. He bad lately received • Utter from Corfu, Informing hias that when the news of the proposed series of the islands arrived, an inhabitant es dakaed, " What demon has Inspired the English rovers meat 10 entertain so herrn& an idea!' Inferneast the. waked, " How is it that ye a have diametric:ly etwased ipiaiosr The repkr cb.rmingii lump a plaa• now, but I wAated a plate 'formally." (LAugbter.) • ----- Lord PALHEItSTON-Sir, I owe that when th e h o e, member who mad* this motion gave notice of his intention to Wing it forward my curiosity was greatly excited to coe ditor and to discover what could possibly be the ground upon which he would found an attack upon her Majesty's government foe its conduct with regard to this affair of Greece; and oertaioly the result of hi* speech has shown that whatever talent he possesses-and 1 give full credit to it-that even his ingenuity, and that of those 1140 have followed him, have been very much at fault to find say tangible point upon which they could rest soy real attack. They have Leen INoral in their personal abuse of my noble (need at the Heed of the foreign department. (Oh, oh.) That conduct -the able conduct of our foreign relations by my noble friend-is sufficiently well known (o the radio to make him perfectly indifferent to those personal attacks made upon him in the course of the evening -(cries of " hear, hear," sod "oh ") ; -and if anything, judging by some of the observations and assertions which have been recently made in regard to the casket of persons is the looiau Islands, who an described as only attacking the govern. ment when they want place-judging that to be as generally applicable to mankind as to the Joann Islands-(a letrgb)-if that be no, I think the refiection of that remark will make my noble friend more indifferent than ever to such personal attacks, or to any of the observa tions which have been made in the course of this evening. (Hear, hear.) As far as I was able to collect from what bee fallen from hoe. gentlemen opposite, I think there are one or two things which have grievously weighed on their muds, sad excited bitter regret and disappointment The fist is that the Greeks should have exhibited so universal • desire of electing an English prince. (Cries of "No, no.") I will show it, bemuse one attack which has been made upon the government is, that we did not tell the Greeks, and let them know that by our diplomatic engagements and con siderations of our own, Prince Alfred could not accept tie crown of Greece. (Laughter and cries of " No, no.") Bat those who made that objection were compelled by the papers in their hands to acknowledge that at the earliest possible moment we did let the Greeks know that our diplomatic engagements and our own imperial considera tions would prevent him from aceepting the Greek crowo. But then they said, " You did commit • most egregious fault, because when you had told the Greeks that Prince Alfred could not accept the crown if elected, and when in spite of that communication the Greeks went on with • full determination to elect him, hoping, as they avowed themselves, that In spite of the first refusal, yet that if elected by the unanimous vote of the Greek nation this objection on the part of the British government would sot avail,"-then they mid " You actually told your minister in Greece that he was not to interfere in the Greek elections." Well, that is indeed an offence. (A laugh). What then, would they have had Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Elliot to go about to all the Greek hustinge and all the assemblies where votes were to be given and say, "Now mind, you are not to vote for Prince Alfred, but you may vote for anybody else you please !" Why, if we had told our minister to interfere in the Greek election we should have been told it was most unbecoming and indecent to interfere thus in the affairs of other nations. (Hear, hear.) We did oar duty by taking the earliest opportunity of letting them know what the decision would be if Prince Alfred was elected, but it would have been gnus impertinence on our part to interfere in the details of the election. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord J. Manners) chooses to assume that that meant we would sot interfere in saying whether the election should be by ballot or by universal suffrage. No such thing. Icould not coooeive anything so absurd as that. (Hear.) What we meant was, that having told the Greek government what the decision of the English government would be, our minister was not to meddle or interfere in any manner as to the mode in which they chose to express their opinion and their votes. (Hear, hear.) I say I 'madonna:mil that boo. gentlemen-Englishmen-should feel this sort of regret, which they evidently feel, that the Greek nation should have exprestred their coolidenoe-- (Cries of "No.") If it is not Net, what is it they mean? What would they have had us do? It is evident two thins weigh on their minds; first, that the Greek nation should have bees permitted to express an unanimous vote in favour of Prince Alfred-Wigs of " No, no")-and secondly, that they should nabs allowed to sleet a Russian prince. (No, no.) That is the oaly reeeluaion to which I can come according to their argument. I asy, therefore, that when hon , gentlemen amen we have deluded the mike and brought them into • critical coedit.. Hon, I deny every one of those assertions. I say our course was perfectly freak and straightforward from the beginning I to the end. (Hear, hear.) The Greeks knew perfectly well what oar decision was, and what would be the result of the election ; if they chose in spite of that to manifest their confidence in the British constitution and their respect and attachment to the royal family of this country, I say, ' instead of repining at that, as boa gentlemen sum to do . (zse, no)-they ought to be proud of it. (" Hear, hear," and " No.") They may nay "No" if they please. I say the country), when they read this delete, will say "Yes." (Hear, bear.) I say that, instead of repining at the result, they ought to have been proud, and to have re joiced on an occasion which enables • nation, in the Nos of all the world, to manifest their respect for England and their admiration for our Queen. (Cheers.) Well, sir, it naiad that we have neglected the Greeks, that we have not taken pains to fulfil the trust they were kind enough to repose in us in regard to suggesting to them • person fit to be their sovereign. We have lost no time and spared no pains. (Hear, bear.) We have communicated with several distinguished persons, whom we thought lit to be selected by Greece for the high poet of reigning over that people, which, f i n spite of all that has been said, is, I say, a most enlighteoid nation, and • nation destined to ries to high distinction among the people of Europe. (Hear, hear.) Bat thp very fact of the distinguished persons to whom oar Peen** woe directed having been fit for the selection involved also that they must be persons who had other interests sod other occupations which might have pre vested them from accepting the post if it were offered to them. Bat undoubtedly we did from time to time let the Greeks know that we were in communication with this riziand that, and we were greatly mortified, en the . were much disappointed, when it appeared that, ono after another, those illustrious pares found themselves prevented by local ties from acceptieg the offs, to be put in nomination as the sovereign of the Greeks. But I do not despair that we may . yet he able to point out to the Greeks • person who may de competent to perform the high dutim of reigning over that country, and who may be acceptable to the Greek nation. Bot, undoubtedly, most rest with the Greeks themselves to decide, because we have sot received, as my hoe. friend supposes, that Dort of full power from the Greeks to choose a sovereign for them. They are to exercise their own choice ; and all the British government can pretend to do will be to suggest to them for their choice individuals who may appear to be fitting on the one hand, and likely to accept on the other. Sir, it has been said that the <Snake have been reduced to • lamentable ocreffition. They are reduced to no lamentable condition. (" Hear, bear," and laughter.) The Greeks have shown great wisdum sad great moderation -(hear, hear)-they have conducted • great revolution in • 'manner which does them high honour- (ben, hear)-then have been no sets of violence, no popular outbursts ; they have had great difficulties in arranging their provisional go vernment, but they have done it to the best of then judg ment, and nothing has happened to entitle any man to say that their condition is miserable, or that they have suffered in the opinion of Europe for the conduct they have pursued under the cueumetanoes in which they have been placed. It is the more meritorious on their pert, becalms undoubtedly the government under which they have suf fered for the last 30 years has been calculated to degrade sod demoralise them. (Hear, hear.) It has been • govern ment carried on by oorruptiou for the purpose of arbitrary sad despotic nil*. (Hear, hear.) It is a governmeet upon which • constitution was forced in 1843, but from that moment to the last they endeavoured by every device and artifice to render that eonstitution a nullity by mesas of corruption of every possible description. This led at last to the events of October. Bat when people say that the Greeks an a nation so dif ficult to govern that you cannot find a prince capable or willing to undertake the task, I say a nation that for thirty yens has submitted without outrage to such a t that which they have lately freed themselves rre7enrwlesenc4 as be difficult to sorer', and must be premed of feelings of subordination and order which give rise to en couragement, and not discouragement, to those who may be totake part in their affairs. Then, I really am at a Ices to know what is the point on which the government have to defend themselves. I say that from the begins* to the end we have been straightforward and (mak in our language and declarations to the Greeks, and we have bee, persevering in our efforts to find a prince who would he willing to undertake the duty, and who would be seceptable to the Greeks themselves. (Hear, bear.) We did not wish the Due de Leuchtenberg to be on the throe* of Ore." because as • Prince of the Russian family he was excluded by the protocol agreed to between the treaty powen. It is quite true, as my hoe. friend said, there was- I will speak out-shorting and evasion on the part of the Russian government-(bear, hear)-and it was with the utmost fealty that we brought them to acknowledge that the Due de Leueliteeherg was, as be is. a member of the Imperial family-doubly • member, as a sou of the daughter of the Emperor, and Mies by • ukase aggregated to the Imperial family, and bought into the hoe of encoesuoe to the Imperial mown. We had a right to have expected • more straightforward spurge of conduct on the part of the Russian government at the outset than that which we had to =need with io bringing them to a frank and fair cate gorical admission that the Due de Leuchter berg was ex cluded by the protocoL Other topics have been brought into discussion. My hon. friend the Coder Secretary Ms berm taxed with having introduced the topic of Turkey, and of the European provinces of Turkey. Sir, it was Dot my hoe, friend who introduced that topic, it was my hon. friend the member for Galway, who va g zo o n broke loose from Greece into the liar, about , Rua* and Turkey, and my hon. Mood following him, very pro perly set right errors into which he had fallen, and maintained -aed I think, from my hoe. hieud's own pereseal knowledge said local expeneses, so man le better entitled to express an opinion-that Turkey, so far from being in that decrepid state in which it is the &shirrs to some quarters to repres ent ' it, has. no the opener', of late years, made great protegee newasda that state of <dynasties', which I ith may ultimately arrive at-!bear, heart-mid thi e er whatever may be the nreNdmes which hoe. seethe.- hose may entsetale, Ti is perfectly clear that edit. Imam sad intelligeoes are spreading among the Turks I their government is improviim, sad I tract their ergan mams wills° oe .ademeelog from day to day. A. the Oluistiaiss, no deal* there ere Imlay privileges sa d p.a. ties which as yet have cot beer conceded to them, but they are much better off sow that they were at a former period. Now, I will sot go into the siege of Belgrade, or tight the batalsof those who threatened to fire upon the for tress, or who did not ; but with regard to, the question which is no diiubt connected with the 'tibiae, in debate, though it Mend been much alluded to by the hon. mem. bet who opened the inquiry, namely, the cession of the 100 ill" (Blend; the honourable member for Nein. (Mr. Griffith) at great length argued as if, first, the loain Islands qui been a possession of the British crown, and next, as typir., in the course of Met autumn, alienated Hone islands: Now. Met of all, they are not a possession of the British mown—Omar, beer —and in the cent place, though we have intimated to the Greeks that under certain circumstances we will take pertain steps which would lead to the annexation of those islands to Greece, nothing, in point of fact, has been dons. (Hear, hear.) Therefore the objection of the hon. member, that we have surreptitiously alienated that part of the poems sions of the British amen whilst parliament was not sitting, falls to the ground, because nothing of the kind has been done. The bon. member for Shoreham (Mr. Cave) mid, if 1 understood biro, that he was very much against the cession of the islands ea was proposed. But he said t hat, indeed, if the Greeks had a government which would maintain eider within and pram without, and which would render its people happy, then perhaps it might he well to cede the islands to that government. But the bon. mem ber has only paraphrased in more words a passage in the despatch of my noble friend, bemuse those were precisely the conditions on which my noble friend said the British government would be willing to take step* towards the cession of the lonian Islands to Greece. The bon. member began by stating a fret which he said had mime to hi knowledge locally, to show that the lonian Islands were anything but willing to part with English protection, and to be emaciated with Greece. No doubt, as Greece was under King Otbo, it would have been • great misfortune for the people of the lonian Islands to hare been transferred to Greece ; sod when we are told that in 1861 we argued against the cession, it was because Greece was so ill governed at that time that we felt it would have bees really cruel to those Weeds to be accessary to placing them under so bad • government as that which then pre vailed in Greece. But if Greece under a new sovereign becomes a well.governed country, and regulates its policy according to the principles stated by the boo. member for Shoreham and by my noble friend in his despatch, why then, possibly, it may be very likely that the feel ings of the declaim may be entirely altered, and they may be desirous to be annexed to Greece. Then the boo. member said that the annexation to Greece was the manifest dcatiny of the lonian Weeds. Well, if that be their manifest destiny, surely we are not to blame if, seeing and acknowledging that manifest destiny, and be lieving that the time is approaching when that destiny may be accomplished to their benefit and not to our logs, we should be willing to contribute to ita sccumpliahment. The boo. member said we shall be laughed at in France for thinking of transferring the lonian Islands to Greece. Wall, perhaps it a country which recently made such acquisitions, and in such a manner, as Savoy and Nice—(cheers)—.e volun tary surrender of anything that belongs to na may be looked upon ma • c.bildish piece 4' folly. (Hear, hear.) But I micoot help thinking that the example, if we set it of principle, and without regard to selfish considerations, of releasing • population from ita role, from the belief that it would be for the advantage of that population to be PO releaaed, may be applicable to so many transactions pending in future in Ecirope—(bear, hear)—that it may not only be honourable to this °motel, but may perhaps be useful, sod lead to great results in other parts of the world. (Hear, hear.) I can only say, then, that I hope the hon. gentleman who made this motion will beautified with having expressed his own opinions. I hope he will be kind enough to with draw his motion, and let us go into committee of supply, and I promise him that se time and the correspon dence goes on, when there areother papers of interest and importance to the deliberations of the house, we shall have no objection to lay them on the table. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that Greece was at present involved in • state of anarchy ; her hopes and wishes had been trifled with ; and an opportunity bad been lost of conferring upon her a constitutional government. That unhappy state of things was, be believed, to • great extent, the result of the policy which had been pursued by her Majesty's ministers. No one in this country regretted that the offer of the Greek throne made to Prince Alfred bad not been accepted. He felt persuaded that the adoption of a contrary 0011110 would have been fraught with embarniaseesnt to this coun try and with danger to the peace of Europe. Her Majesty's government had, therefore, very properly an- Neuwied at the commencement of those proceediop their determination to decline that offer. Bat they had after wards caused a doubt to exist as to their intentions, and they appeared to have employed the candidature of Prince Alfred as • means of preventing the possibility of the elec tion of the Duke of Leuchtenberg. That was an unfair and a disingenuous mode of proceeding ; and in their subesquent attempts to procure the acceptance of the Greek throne by King Ferdinand of Portugal and the Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha they had betrayed a want of foresight and of good management which had very much contributed to re ' dues Greece to her present unhappy 000ditioe. Mr B. COCHRANE said it was not his intention to divide . upon the question. (Hear, bear.) Hs denied that he bad said anything in disparagement of the Greek people, or that he had ex p ressed any regret at the offer of the Greek throne to Prince Alfred. Oa the contrary he bad distinctly referred to that circumstance as a compliment to this country, and had given the Greeks the greatest credit for the matter in which they bad conducted themselves =icier great difficulties—difficulties which were increased by the policy of her Majesty's government. (Hear, hear.) The motion wee then, by leave of the house, withdrawn. On the vote of 255,9931. for the expenses of medical esteblialiment, services, and eupplie. General PEEL drew attention to t h e state of the medical department of the army, more particularly with reference SO the paucity of candidates at the medical examination. ' Sir G. C. LEWIS said that arrangemects were to prqrress which he believed woold be acceptable to the medical pro fession, and increase the efficiency of that department of the anny. The vote Ina agreed to. On vote for disembodied s militia. 751,0941., Colonel DUNNE urged the importance of providing for the military Reetectioo of Ireland, either by extending the time during which the militia are called out, or by making a provisioollealngoes to the Eogl i .b volunteer system. Colonel DN'.HBON drew attention to the Inadequate fees paid to the militia serious. In 'sewer to Lord ENFIELD, Sir G. C. LEWIS mid he intended to act on the suggestion °Detained in the report of the committee presided over by the noble lord, with regard to surge-cos io the militia. The vote par then agreed to, as was also a vote of 94,1621. for the yeomanry. The CHAIRMAN then reported proms. OONSOLIDATKD FUND (10,000,000 k) BILL. Thin bill was rtad snooped time. MUTINY BILL. This bill was read r:;;oia NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS ACT AMENTALEIT BILL. On the motion for the tilelTsading of this bill, Mr. H. BERKELEY said that the bill enabled the Admiralty to send the naval coast volunteers to any quarter of the world, whereas in the existing act there was a stipu lation that they should not be sent a creator distance than 300 miles from our shores. Hs charactensed the bill as vicious, and said that if it passed it would destroy the effi ciency of this valuable force, ou which the country would have to rely for the protection of the coast. He con cduded by moving that the bill be read a third time that day six mouths. Lord C. PAGET said that it would be practically impos eloe to make use of these naval volunteers unless there was some amendment in the law. Supposing, in the event of war, a vessel manned by such volunteer, was chasing a ship like the Alabama, the captain would not, under the act of parliament, be justified in going further than 300 miles from the coast, and although he might be jest coming up to her, be would have to stop when he had reached that limit. The bill was entirely prospective in its operation, sod no one would come older its provisions unless with his consent. Under these cireunistanove he hoped the hon. member would withdraw his ameridment. The oil was then read a third time. TRUSTEES ACT AMENDMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. This hill was read a second time.

Field cavalry officers were per mitted to keep four horns, and obliged to keep three, and for each horse 80. per day was stopped. °spades wen permitted to keep three horses, and obliged to keep two, and for each home in like manner Std. wee stopped. Lieu tenants and comets were obliged to keep two hones for the bomb of the service, and Nel. was likewise stopped from them. Now be °attended that it wee wrong to say that the @pay of a comet wee Bs. a day, and then to de duct from it Is. 5d., which, in reality, reduced his pay to vie. 7d. The mows in a cavalry regiment was exoesdingly expeneiva, and if he put down the expenditure of a cavalry officer at 10e. a-day be was sure that he was Dot putting it at too high a figure. In consequence of the examination system, of which he did not complain, there were not as many rich men entering the cavalry regiments she used to be the case, and therefore the stoppage of the pay for fonge became a matter of more impmtitoos than it otherwise would be. In the use of subalterns who were promoted for good conduct, the stoppage of pay for forage was still mere serious. It wee not a small matter to have 26/. • year deducted from the pay of subalteres ; 391 . de duded from the pay of captains ; and 521. a-yeardeducted from the pay of field officers, The right boo. gentleman the member for Huntingdon and the late Lord Herbert ad mitted the injustice of making this deduction, and he basted the right hoc, gentleman the present Secretary of War would hold out the hope that the practies would be abolished. . . . . . Sir G. LEWIS said that be was plaited between two antagonistic forces ; for while some oomplaioed that the charges for the army were ezoessive, others, and amongst them the boo. sad pliant gentlemen who made the present motion, wished to Marano the expenditure for the array beyond that proposed by her Majesty's government. The cost of • Danish moldier, viz., 121. had been held up as • model for imitation, bat the hoe. and pllaot occur - 00;propOs;d;;batiras Immoe of pay for the officers. (No, no.) It was impcesi ble to regard the proposition in any other tight. Now if the proposition were carried he should have to move • supplemental estimate. No doubt former secreta ries of war bad taken a favourable view of the claim, but the price of admission to the cavalry was higher thea, than it *mat present, and that was as advantage to those who entered that branch of the army. He regretted that be could not accede to the motion, sod trusted that the hones would pass to the order of the day. The house divided— For the motion Against Majority for going into committee 32 SUPPLY—ARMY MTIMATFI3. The house thee west into committee of supply ; Mr. MASSZT in the chair. On the vote of 6346371. for barrack establishment, ser. e k e ., and *applies, a msoversatine took place ou some items re ferring to charges for washing and other expenses to which private soldiers are subject. Sir hi. PESO called attention to the immorality existing among the soldiers at Aidershott and in other camps, and said it required the greatest exertion on the part of the government to countervail it. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the subject bad not teamed the attention of the government ; they bad issued a commission to inquire into the whole matter, with the view of Boding a reaseiy, ad he hoped in the course of the 'melon to make • statement a refereece to it.
