IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY, ..Irsie 5. The LORD emainuas took his seat oh the welsh& A in o'cikok. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills I;;;;;;;iiathird time and pared : Gravesend and Milton Om Bill ; Inverness and Perth Junction, and Perth mid Dunksld Railway Companies Bill ; Peoria Harbour, Dock, and Railway Bill ; and Mid- land Kailway (Katmai= to London) Bill. DUCHY OF CORNWALL ILANACIEMMIT BILL. The Duke of NEWCILTTLE, is moving that the house shorld go into committee on this bill, reminded their lord ships that the bill was read a second tune shortly before the recess, min the understanding that the discussion upon the principle should be taken at the present stage. The bill had received the approbation to a very greet extent of thore interested and connected with the pro perty. He held in be band a letter from a very emi nent solicitor in Cornwall who had been very fre zie inent.lyuchyOs his communiltics o i l with numerous ero s u u s tho a ri n ti d es re a . 'irritable clients, and that gentleman expressed his opinion in favour of the measure, and congratulated them upon baring constructed a bill which embraced so fairly all the ' Irma* the duchy and likewise of the public. He (the Duke of Newcastle) himself believed that the result of this bill would be not only to increase the revenues of the duchy, but greatly to benefit all those who bail property in con- , 1 notion with it. Lord BROUGHAM mid that he felt bound, in justice to the memory of the illustrious Prince whose lose they all so deeply deplored, to bear his testimony to the truth of the statement as to the benefit which the duchy bed derived from his royal highness's superintendence. He (Lord Brougham) had set as assessor during the discussion of some very difficult questioes, and throughout the whole OCKIIIIO of those diseuesiona the Pripoe s discrimination and appreciation of the various pointa submitted were such as to astonish him, and indeed if the Prince had been a lawyer inetead of a layman he could not have exhibited • greater familiarity with all the bearings of the CNN. The house they went intocommittee, Lord RIDEBDALI in the chair. On clause 39, Lord CHELMSFORD said the object of this clause was to enable the Dukes of Cornwall to grant any building pro. per to be used as or converted into a church or chapel, or • parochial or district school, and any ground proper for the mite of any church or chapel, with or without • burial ground, and any house proper for the meidenoe of the spiritual person who might serve such church or chapel, or of the master or mistress of such schooL The act of 1844 empowered the Duke of Cornwall to grant to any person any building proper to be used for • church or chapel, and no doubt that clause applied to buildings in which the ser vice of the Eetablished Church was used. But this clause proposed to include all chapels intended to be need by any denomination of Christiana, and to enact that the act of 1844 intended to include all other denominations, which it clearly did not. He objected to make the alteration p in such an extraordinary way. His 'noble friend soiree clause merely gave to the Dukes of Cornwall • power which all owners of property pommeed. That might be true, but their lordships were now called upon to recognise by an set of the legislature a power in the Duke of Cornwall to endow ministers of all denominations. He would ask why should they be called upon to legislate under such circumstances, and to recognise a title in dissenters to this privilege ? His noble friend said the Wesleyan' were of great service in that part of the country, and that it was important to facili tate the grant of sites to them for places of worship. Now if the clams were confined to the Weeleyaus there might be no objection to it. But in its present form it wee objeotMnable, and there was no necessity for it as the Duke of Cornwall had already power to grant leases for 31 years, and building leases for 99 yam, and there was power to restrain hint from making a grant to any person. Why, then. was it proposed to extend this power upon this occasion The Luke of NEWCASTLE regretted that this question should have been raised oa this occasion when their lord ships were settling • bill having reference to the property of the Prince of Wales. The refusal to grant the power proposed would have the e ff ect of making the prince 's name and the names of those connected with the administration of his property most odious is Cornwall. The meaning of the act - of 1841 might be doubtful, but if their lordship* should deprive the Prince of Wales of all power to grant =all sites for chapels in the duchy they would shut out the people there from receiving religions instruction, be. came in many of the districts the whole of the population, to a man, was nonconformist. There were many districts in which no other property than that of the Duchy of Cornwall could be granted for this purpose. The noble and learned lord did not object to grants being made to the Wealeyans. Rot why should he object to grants being made to the Independenta, who were also to be found in that county They ought not to be deprived of advantages 'which might be given to the Wesleyan. He hoped their lordahipe would not agree to any proposal for altering the spirit of this clause. If any proposal were made for that he should certainly divide the house against it. Fair hear.) Lord CHF,LIIISFORD said be did not intend to divide the lee" but be objected to the mode in which the clause was 'worded, and by whieh there was a formal recognition and endowment of diseent. _ . The Duke of NEWCASTLE observed that the ducky pro- party differed in many respeeta from almost all other pro perty. They had had nineteen yesrs' experience of the claws of 1844, and he believed that the object of that cisme could not be attained in any better way teen as proposed by the bill. If, however, before the report, an amendment vs placed on the paper, it should receive careful considera tions on the part of himself and the other members of the council. . . . The clause with verbal amendments wan then agreed to, Y were the remaining clauses of the bill. REVISION OF THE STATUTE LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that u it would be ascessary for him to trespass at some length upon their lordships' attention, he would postpone his motion on this subject until a futon oocsaios. VACCINATION (IRELAND) BILL The Earl of ST. GERMANS moved the second reading of this bill. The Earl of CLANCARTY said that the pretreat law re lating to vaccmatioa was found to work well in Ireland. lie feared that owing to the striogebt eaters of the bill maths penalties it provided, it would be practically icopenitive. After a few words from the Earl of BmAsonc, The bill was read a assioad time. BAKEHOUSES REGULATION BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDEP.LEY, in moving the 'second reeding of this bill, said that its importance would be ad mitted when he informed their lordship that there were 12,000 young men, bakers, in London, working from nine o'clock at night until five o'clock in the morning. The bill certain regulations to secure cleanliness in bake ootreZdand that they should be open to official inspection during the ordinary hours of business ; also that they should be drained, ventilated, end periodical) y painted and whitewashed. The bill had passed the other house without a single dissentient, and it was much to the credit of many of the principal members of the trade that they had given their cordial assent to the provisions of the measure. (Rear, bear.) Lord REDEdDALE said be did not object to the bill, but thought that some of its regulations were too minute and striagent to be applied all over the country. The provisions as to repeated painting and whitewashing would not be so - they were in the metropolis. trried as TANLEY of ALDEKLEY observed that some of the regulations were doubtless stringent, but the noble lord mould not object to the repeated whitewashings if he had heard the statements which bad been made as to the dis gusting condition in which many bakehouses now were. Ile admitted that as the bill stood, it might prove vexa tious in small planes and rural districts, and he was willing to listen to soy suggestion tending to obviate that objection. The bill WAS then read a second time. THE ROYAL VICTORIA ASYLUM. Lord ST. LEONARD rose to put a question to the I noble duke the Secretary for the Colonies relative to the Royal Victoria Asylum at Wandsworth. Hie chief object was he mid, to maks a personal explanation in conse quence of gorse observations which had fallen from • right friend of his (Sir J. Pakisgton) in another place. The Duke of NEWCASTLE merely filled the office of chairman of the Patriotic Fund, a post which be had occupied since the death of the late Trine. He could not, therefore, reply authorita tively to the questions addressed to him, but would give such ioformatiou as had reached him. The state ment of the noble and learned lord that DO steps had been taken to form a Indies' committee might, he thought, mislead their lordships. The committee of ladies formerly consisted of 12 members; seven of teat number bd re• signed, but he believed the remaining five continued members to the present time. It was quite true that these lee ladies had not met as a committee, but he understood from members of the executive committee that an arrange must had bean made by them by which they visited the asylum individually. One of the number had recently been eom to leave the country in consequence of her has being ordered for service abroad, acd he believed • proposal had been made to nominate another in her room, sod to elect two or three other ladies to the committee. The executive committee at their meeting oo Tuesday next would take into consideratioo what steps should be adopted with the view of increasing the number of the ladle.' e, committe . . The subject then dropped. Their lordships adjourned at 25 minutes to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDL; JCNI 5. The SPEWS took the chair at 4 o'clock. LISBURN ELECTION. Mr. EVANS, the ehainnsa of the committee which was appouted to inquire into the allegations of the petition amnion Mr. Barbour with treating and bribery at the re cent election, appeared at the bar and presented the report of the committee to the house. It reported that John Doherty Barbour, Esq., was not duly elected a bargee to movement the borough of Lisburn in parliament; that the last election for Lisburn was a void election ; that Mr. Barbour was by himself and by hie yenta guilty of bribery and treating ; that Samuel James Coney, a aon.elector, wan bribed by the yenta of Mr. Barbour is order to 'educe him to permeate his Lite father who bad died four months previously ; that THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1863. Mr. Barbour endeavoured by se r gest to corrupt Jame; Beanister, a voter, by the offer of 301. and 60/. to induce him to vote for that gentleman, and that several of the voters at the bite election Irma forcibly delayed end guarded by armed men in a room belonging to Mr. Barbour for several days up to the election, and were there treated in order to induce them to vote for Mr. Barbour. regiment, without either of the three having been brought to trial, or any formal charge having been preferred against them, and asked whether the commanding officer, under whose authority the ahoy° took place, was still permitted to remain in command of the regiment. _ _____ . • • • • • • Mr. CONINGHAM said the memorandum which had been issued by the Hens Guards had completely altered the aspect of the case. The Horse Guards, by condoning the conduct of Colonel Crawley on this occasion, had made it self reeponsible for his conduct ; and he sincerely hoped and trusted that the weight of public indignation and the repro bation of this house would be expressed in clear and measured terms with reference to the proceedings of his royal highness the commander-in-chief in this matter. The Marquis of HARTINGTCN said he would first answer the question of the bon. member for Inverness. It was true there had been some delay in proceeding with the Ordnance survey of Scotland. The cultivated districts were mostly completed. The cause of the delay was, that the stall were partially withdrawn for • time to make • military survey of certain districts of the coast of England. In future the survey in Scotland would be made in the summer months. He now came to the unfortunate occur rence to which the attention of the house had just been called. It was not necessary, he thought, that he should go back into the history of the 6th Dragoons ' or of the charge against tUptain Smile. Very shortly after the com mencement of the court-martial the president was informed and the proceedings of the court-martial had been published by some one who had been present in violation of the order which forbade the publication of the evidence till after the proceedings were completed, which rendered the order that the witnesses should not be present of no avail. These three sergeant-majors were brought before Colonel Crawley and examined. That examination was an irregular one. The result was that they were placed under arrest on • charge of conspiracy against him. That arrest was not a close arrest, but an ordinary arrest. At the same time that be informed Major-General Farrel he requested instructions as to bringing them to trial, and also the sanction of General Farrel for placing them under arrest, in order to prevent them from being tampered with. On the 28th of April, General Farrel wrote to Sir W. Mansfield, the commander-in-chief for the district, to refer the question to him for hie decision, and at the same time be informed him of Colonel Crawley's application as to placing the men under arrest, adding that Colonel Crawley had been verbally instructed that, pending the inquiry before the commander-in-chief, the arrest should be close. On the 6th of May, General Mansfield wrote back that, after examining the evidence, he was of opinion it would not support the charge of conspiracy—that opinion being based upon the fact that the sergeant-majors had not been duly warned previous to their examination. General Mansfield, however, went on to say that their con duct had been most improper, and that whether Lilley acted in • spirit of hostility towards Colonel Crawley or cot, he had grossly derogated from his duty by participating in what had taken place, and in allowing it to occur with out bringing it under the notice of his superior officer. Coder the circumstances, therefore, he thought Utley was totally unfit to occupy his position, and that he should be displaced from hie rank as sergeant.major. He con cluded by raying that the sergeant-majors should be kept under close arrest till after the trial of Paymaster Smales. Shortly afterwards the court-martial adjourned on account of the illness of Captain Steals', and other reasons. The sergeant-majors were kept under close arrest. Oa the 24th May Sergeant-Major Lilley was re ported sick, and on the 25th he died. On the 2nd of June Sir W. Mansfield wrote to General Farrel, that he had heard from the public papers that the confinement of these sergeant-majors had not only been close, but that it had been of such a nature as to have been absolutely penal, and that during that confinement Sergeant-Mejor had died ; that when he issued directions on the 6th of May he was under the impression that the court-martial would be terminated about the time at which those directions would reach Mhow, and that consequently the sergeant-majors would have at once been liberated. He said also that on the adjournment of the court-martial General Farrel should either have acted on his own responeibility and released the sergeant-majors, or that he should have made another reference to him, which might have been done by telegraph. Sir W. Mansfield enclosed with this letter • memorandum, which he directed to be read to the troops at Mhow, stating his extreme regret at the unfortunate circumstances which had occurred, and explaining the reasons which had induced him to order the sergeant-majors to be continued wider close arrest. Those reasons were—first, that the evidence produced showed that they had narrowly es caped, if they had escaped, the commission of • serious crime, and that it was necessary in his judgment to protect them from the temptation they would be wider to repeat that crime--(oh, oh!)—secondly, that it was necessary that they should be kept under close arrest, in order to prevent parties to the court martial tampering with them, and con cocting the evidence they were to give • and thirdly, that it was necessary that the charge which ' had been brought against them by Colonel Crawley should not be condoned by the release of the prisoners till it appeared clear during the progress of the court•martial whether any further evi dence could be produced upon which they could be tried. These were the chief facts connected with this moat important case, and they were substantiated by the documents that were before the War-office. (Hear, hear.) Upon this the opinion of his right hon. and learned friend the Judge Advente had been taken. It would not be in accordance with precedent that that opinion should be laid upon the table of the house ; but he believed that there was no objec tion to his stating its substance. Having bud the documents laid before him, the right hon. gentleman was of opinion, first, that there was no sufficient ground on which the charge against the sergeant-majors could be established ; secondly, that the moneyed arrest, as sanctioned by General Farrel and Sr W. Mansfield, was illegal—(cheers)—ad thirdly. that the reasons alleged in the memorandum of Sir W. Mansfield were sot valid. It was obvious from what he had gaited that some one had been very much to blame—flood cheers)—but he submitted to the hone that it was necessary for them to inquire how the responsibility which had been incurred was distributed amongst the officers concerned. Colonel Crawley, it was perfectly clear, thought he had evidence to prove the charge of conspiracy against the sergeant-majors. He placed them under simple arrest, and immediately forwarded to the general commanding his division the charge on which he accused them • he desired his instructions with regard to their trial, mid asked for his sanction for placing them under arrest. General Farrel appeared to have been wrong in ordering them to be put under close arrest ; and he was probably wrong also in not at once perceiving that there was no sufficient ground for the charge of consptracy and for referring the matter at all to Sir W. Mansfield. Still more was he wrong in obeying the letter and not the spirit of the instructions which he received from General Mansfield. Now the letter of General Mansfield elated that the men should be kept under arrest till the conclusion of the court-martial. Sir William him self considered, and he fairly might consider, that when an entirely unforeseen occasion arose, such as the in definite adjournment of the court, General Farrel ought to have taken that circumstance into consideration, and either have acted on his responsibility or have referred again to his superior. Sir W. Mansfield appeared to have been wrong in his lepl views, that although the evidence would not in his opinion support a charge of conspiracy, it was expedient that the sergeant-majors should be continued under arrest. Sir William appeared to have acted under the impression that in ordering the continuance of the arrest he was doing something in the nature of direct ing a remand, as was dose by police magistrates in order to enable additional evidence to be produced against • prisoner. He (the noble marquis) freely admitted that Sir W. Mans field was quite wrong, but that appeared to be the extent to which he was in error. Having divided to this extent the responsi bilit y, they had next to consider what could possibly be done by the authorities at home. Colonel Crawley wee oovered by the sanction of his superior officer ; and it would be per fectly useless to attempt to try him by court-martial. To the same extent he supposed also that he would not he be liable to be tried, as had been suggested, for manslaughter. General Farrel also appeared to be techni cally covered by the authority of his superior officer. The cooduct of these officers, and the illegality which they bad primed, was a subject which it wu en tirely within the power of the Commander•in-Chief, in conjunction with the Secretary of State, to bring under their notice and the notice of the army, in such terms of reprimand and reprehension as might seem ' to be advisable. But he (the noble marquis) would call the attention of the house to the fact that it wee incumbent upon his royal highness to act with the greatest care and caution in ilesding with an officer of the distinguished ser vices of Sir W. Mansfield. There were very few officers in the army that bad more distinguished themselves, or that bad done better service to the country than Sir William. (Cheers.) if he wee right in the view which he had tried to place before the hues, it wee quit. evident that Sir William Mansfield had acted in this affair under a misapprehension that be was in no way mixed up with the miserable siusbbles and the petty jealousies which had distracted the 6th Dragoons, and that he had acted, though wrongly, for what he supposed to be beet for the ietereste of the discipline of the army. He (the noble marquis) submitted that under those circumstances it was the duty of his royal highness to deal with the cue not only with the greatest care and caution. but also with the greatest moderation and leniency. (Hear, bear.) As it certainly did appear that the confinement of these officers, and more especially their close confinement, vas distinctly and decidedly illegal, as it alto appeared that the death of Sergeant-Major Lilley was very probably to be traced to that confinement, and as a claim upon the government had been made by his surviving rela tives, who were is poor circumstances, and had been en. ti rely supported by him, it appeared proper that some repa ration should be made to them ; the goverument, therefore, proposed, with the sanction of the hones, to make such a grant to the relatives of Sergeant-Major Lilley as would be about equal to the pension to which he would be entitled had he received his discharge. (Hear, hear.) These were the main points of this case, .upon which no farther light could be thrown. There were, however, some collateral circumstances which had been mentioned by the hoe. member, and into which it was se curry that a further inquiry should still be made. The bow member ia his speech had said that there was no doubt whatever upon the facts which he alleged, His (the noble marquis's) statement had entirely coincided, so fares it had gone, withthat of the hon. member; but there was a direct discrepancy between the statement of Colonel Crawley in his address to the coast-martial, ad the cir. enanstenose which had been subsequently stated by the adjutant of the regiment, Lieutanaet Fitasymous. 'ilia hod only bet been brought Won the Maid of the Secretary of State. Lieutenant Fitasymons entirely denied the allegation that it was the adjutant who ordered the arrest. That was a point that bore very strongly upon the charseter of Colonel Crawley ; and when Colonel Crawley affirmed one way and Lieutenant Fitraymons affirmed exactly the contrary, it was impossible for any one at home to come to any decwion on the matter till it bad been investigated on the spot. There would therefore be an inquiry into the conduct of Colonel Crawley on this charge, and also into the circumstances connected with the withdrawal of • letter from Lieutenant Fitzsymons. His royal highness had oondemoed in very strong terms the conduct of Colonel Crawley, chiefly with respect to the internal government of the regiment, which was not affected by the cue now before the house. It was quite evident that Colonel Crawley, whatever they might think of his conduct, could not be punished, except upon the collateral point which was under consideration. It would have been • great deal more satisfactory to him (the noble marquis), and no doubt it would have been • greet deal more satisfactory to the house, if be could have banded over to them some one victim who might have atoned for the sufferings of Sergeant-Major Lille) and his comrades. He could not produce that victim, end hie only coasolation was that he had stated without reserve the facts of this most painful case so far as they were before the government. He was sure that the house would agree with him that not even the horror which the tragedy of Ser geant-Major Lilley had inspired, not even the disgust which had been caused by the spectacle of mismanagement, and the military scandal which had bees revealed in this cue, would make them wish for one moment to depart from the strictest rules of justice. (Cheers.) Mr. Alderman SIDNEY characterised the explanation of the Under Secretary as apologeticsl and unsatisfactory. He did not see why Colonel Crawley should be continued in command of the 6th Dragoons simply because he enjoyed the confidence of General Mansfield, who himself was im plicated in the charge. Colonel BARTTELOT bad hoped to hear the noble mar quis completely exonerate Sir Wm. Mansfield, General Far rell, and Colonel Crawley, for their conduct in this matter. He called upon the house not to ()oedema Colonel Crawley in his absence and unheard, for he was willing and anxious to meet the charge in every particular. His retention in the command of the regiment was both just and right. Mr. Serjeant morr said that blame certainly rested somewhere, and if not with Colonel Crawley he should like to know where. Captain ARCHDALL, u an old Enniekilliner, hoped the result of the inquiry would be to restore the high character which that distinguished regiment had so long enjoyed, and that whoever was the guilty party would receive the punish ment he deserved. The house then went into committee of supply on the civil service estimates, and Mr. LINDSAY moved to strike out the vote of 80,0001. for Alderney harbour of refuge, on the ground that the works were wholly obeli= and a source of danger rather than of security to shipping. Some discussion followed, in the course of which Sir J. ELPHINSTONE remarked that, although a million of money had been expended on Alderney, nothing but the formation of a perilous shoal was the result. Upon •division the vote was agreed to by 76 to 62. Some other votes were also agreed to, and the house resumed. _ _ Theisarman Isbuith Bill pulsed through committee. THE INLAND REVENUE BILL. This bill, is amended, was considered and agreed to. SUPPLY—REPORT. This report was brought up, read, and the resolutions agreed to. PUBLIC WORKS MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS). Mr. VILLIERS obtained leave to bring in a bill to facili tate the execution of public works in certain manufacturing districts, and to authorise for the purpose advances of public money to a limited amount upon security of load rates. CHARITABLE USES (CONVEYANCE OF LAND). The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a bill to further amend the law relating to the conveyance of land for charitable uses. . . Mr. HENNES.4Y moped that the house be counted. There not being 40 members present, the house adjourned at half Teat 2 o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. Mr. Middleton, who Midlll7llnd been in business 33 years as a watchmaker, coal merchant, and earthenware dealer, in the Commercial-road, Stepney, and who was for several years a member of the meaty of Mile-end Old Town, came before Mr. Woolrych to complain of the conduct of a man named Birch, his next door neighbour, who had published a libel concerning him which was likely to do him conside rable injury. Mr. Middleton said he was now an auctioneer, and carried on a legitimate business. There were frequent sales in his auction-room, and his next door neighbour bad pub lished a large pl acard with the following words in large red letters upon it,—" Notice to the public ; beware of mock auctions." There was also an engraving of a man's band with the index finger pointing towards the sale room, so that no one passing along the road could mistake its meaning. Mr. Woolrycb said if the libel was false and scandalous, and liable to lower Mr. Middleton in the estimation of the public, an action could be maintained in one of the superior courts at Westminster for damages. Mr. Middleton-1 have already sustained considerable loss and inconvenience by the publication of this foul and malicious libel _ . Mr. Woolrycb—Then bring your action. Mr. Middleton—l am afraid if my neighbour continuos this there will be a serious breach of the peace. Mr. Woolrych—Then I shall have jurisdiction. Mr. Middleton—l want a summons against him. Mr. Woolrych could not grant a summons. The remedy was by action. Mr. Middleton said if his neighbour exhibited any more libellous placards respecting him and his business he should adopt a very summary remedy with him. PRIVATE BLISINES& The Aebbournet, - Sudbury, and 'fora Bridge, and Uttoxetar, and I..,Nsilingerood-road Bill, and the Stirling's Estate Bill were read a third time. COTTON FROM INDLL r. CAIRI) said, in the absence of the right boo. gentle man the Secretary of India through indisposition, be would postpone until that day week the motion he had on the paper with respect to the supply of cotton from India. BELGRADE. Mr. D. GRIFFITH gave notate that on the 3rd of July, OD going into committee of supply, he would :ask the First Lord of the Treasury a question respecting the demolition of houses in Belgrade, in order to extend the Turkish garrisons in that town. ROYAL VICTORIA PATRIOTIC ASYLUM. Mr. TORRENS asked Colonel Wilson Patten whether there were any vacancies in the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum at Wandsworth ; if so, what number ; and, furtl,er, would he state whether it was the rule or intention to fill up any vacancies in the asylum solely with children of soldiers who died in the Crimea, to the exclusion of the children of those who, having served in the Crimea, have since died on service with their regiments in India or elsewhere ! Colonel W. PATTEN said that the number of vacan cies in the Victoria Patriotic Asylum at Wandsworth was :17. Thus* vacancies had been caused by the necessity which the royal commussioners were under to provide temporary accommodation for hospital purposes, but they were gradually being filled up, and he believed that the number of MO would be completed in a very short time. In reply to the second question he bad to state that the institution was originated by the royal commissioners of the Patriotic Fund for the education of children of soldiers who had been either killed or wounded, or died from disease contracted during the Russian war. The commissioners held that the children of such soldiers had the first claim on their attention and the funds of the institution ; but it wee under the consideration of the commissioners whether when all these claims bad been met they should take into consideration the claims of the children of soldiers who had tarred in the Russian war, but had since met with calamities in other parts of the world. When all these claims had been satiafied, the insti tution would be applied to the education of the children of soldiers generally. UNEMPLOYED FACTORY OPERATIVES. Mr. PERRAND asked the President of the Poor Law Board whether he had received the return of the unem ployed unmarried women in the cotton factory districts, and when the works sanctioned by the government engineer were likely to be commenced. Mr. VILLIERS said he had no authority to compel such a return to be made, but the relief committee were endea vouring to collect the information, and probably in the course of next week it might be obtained. As to the other question, those works would depend upon the legislation of the house. VOTE FOR EDUCATION. Mr. F. S. POWELL asked the Vice-President of the Com mittee of Council on Education when the report of Council on Education would be distributed ; sad whether it was the intention of government to propose the vote for education before members had had ample time for consideration of the report' Mr. LOWE said that the report would be distributed in the course of next week, and he hoped it would be in the bands of members before the vote came on, but he could not consent to postpone the vote in the present state of public business. CESSION OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Lord J. MANNERS asked the First Lord of the TM. sury whether the vote of the lonian Chambers upon the proposed cession of the seven Wends to Greece was to be taken before the consent of the powers of Europe, arm bled in congress, to that cameo bad been obtained ; whe ther the °Degree. was to be confieed to the powers who were signatories of the treaties of 1815, or whether it was to comprise all the powers of Europe, including Turkey ; whether, in the event of Turkey not being invited to attend the congress any communication would be addressed to the Sublime Porte on tee subject ; and whether the consent of all, or only of the majority of the powers assembled in congress, would be required to authorise the cession. Lord PALMERSTON—With regard to the order of pro ossifies, 1 cannon state is what order the communications will take place. Of course, the cession cannot be complete without in the first place the "aunt of and wish of the lonians; and in the second place, without the consent of the parties who signed the treaty. Those only, of course, who signed the treaty will have a voice in the matter, and as Turkey did not sign the treaty, she will not be called I upon to give her assent or dissect. Turkey, however, will be made acquainted, if she has not already been, with what is in contemplation. With regard to the latter question, whetter all who signed the treaty will be required to consent, there is no likelihood of any dissentient voice, as it is • matter taken on public grounds, and in European interests. Lord J. MANNERS wished to know, in the event I of a difference of opinion among the parties to the treaty of I Vienna, what course would be pursued. Would the consent of all she powers or only a majority he required ? Lord PALMERSTON—That is a question involving points of international law ; but supposing the great majo rity —say all but one—of the powers consent to the arrange ment, and the lonians and Greeks also agree to it, Ido not think that any one power would endeavour to *et up its own opinion against the majority. COURTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING BILL Mr. LYGON asked the First Clommiseireer of Werke when be would move for leave to introduce the Omuta of Justice Building (Money) Ball. Mr. COWPER raid be would probably introduce the bill come day next week. MORNING SMUG& Lord PALMERSTON—Perhaps I may be allowed to state that that period of the minims has approached when, I think, morning sittings may be commenced- (cries of "Oh, oh," and laughter)— for the purpose of disposing of matters which require a good deal of attention. I therefore shall propose—if you, sir, and the house, do not object—that there shall be a morning sitting oe Tuesday, with the new of taking the Irish Fisheriesßill. (Laughter.) APPOINTMENT OF A PERMANENT COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. R COCHRAN E rose to move, "That for the sake of obtaining greater unity of design in our public buildinp, and with a view to the efficiency sod economy of the public service, it is desirable a permanent Commissioner of Public Works and Buildings, or other officer, should be ap pointed to the present Board of Worker" When he said that the public works of this country were not carried oat in a satisfactory manner, he did not wish to reflect on his right hon. friend the Commissioner of Public Works. When au office was held for an average of only two years. it was im possible to do justice to it. If they compared this country with other countries they would End that there was a much better system io other countries. There was a much better system in France, and however much they might be dis posed to find fault with the political system prevail), in that country, every one must pay a tribute to the ad mirable taste displayed in the improvement of Paris. He might be answered that the evils of the present system arose out of our constitutional government. He thought it unfortunate that our consti•utiooal govero meat should be claimed with these evils. He did not think that constitutional government was in fault at all. What was I wanted was to any out the recommendation of the com mittee that a permanent commissioner should be appointed, and it was with this feeling strongly impressed upon him that he had brought forward this resolution. _ Mr. COWPEWdefended the administration of the Board of Works, and said that the great portion of the extrava gant expenditure of which Mr. Cochrane complained bad been incurred when the Chief Commissioner wee a pemna omit officer, and not responsible to parli►ment. Be granted that there was an elvantage in favour of permanency, but that was couoterbatineed by the commissioner being in such ease removal from parliamentary influence, and the department not being represented in that house. The motion was supported by Sir J. SHCLL!T. . . . Sir M. Yr.EO drew a comparison between the administra tion of the department of public works in Frames and that in Eagle's& In this country estimates were exceeded by hundreds of thousands of pounds, and works like those at Alderney were carried out, coating millions of money, which, when completed, were found to be useless. What we wanted was not • mere permanent Commissioner of Works, buts thorough reform of the whole system. Lord J. MANNELS was of opinion that the object which Mr. Cochrane had in view would not be accomplished by the motion he proposed, for already there was a permanent of ficer of works, Mr. Austin, whose qualifications for the office were admitted on every hand. The motion) was withdraws. Mr. H. BAILLIE called attention to • report, recently Issued by Sir H. James, of the progress of the Ordnance survey of the United Kingdom, according to which it ap peared that the survey of Scotland would not be com pleted for the neat quarter of a century.

Yesterday, in the committee of which Mr. Mills is the chairman, the Duke of Cambridge, commarder-in chief of the regular forces, sod Colonel M•Murdo ' govern. meat inspector of volunteers, were examined cm the part of the Brighton Company against the proposed new Brighton line projected by the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail way Company between Beckenham, Lewes, and Brighton. The witnesses, interrogated by Mr. Merewellier, Q.C., and Mr. Venable., said they were satisfied, so far ea their ex perience was concerned, with the management and working of the Brighton Railway, sod that io their opinion in • military point of view • new line between London and Brightun was not necessary. They were iu favour of lateral lines running from east to west parallel with the coast,rather ' than radial lines mining from the metropolisto the sea coast. They expressed their satisfaction with the way in whichthe Brighton Company had conveyed the volunteer army to Brighton in 1862, and to and from Brighton m 1863. The lateral lines before mentioned would form the beet military roads and strongholds for this country in the event of any threatened invasion, and it was decidedly of advantage to get troops through from London without the intervention of a braes. The military authorities were also perfectly satisfied with the way in which the Brighton Company had oonveyed the Guards to and from the tamp at Eastbourne for rifle practice daring the last two mouths, with the ex oeptien of the last occasion when the late melancholy cats 'trope, on which they would offer no opinion, occurred. In course of cross-examination of the witnesses on behalf of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway it was endeavoured to be shown that troop' could be conveyed by the proposed new line from London without • break, and as safely and effectively as by the existing line. In the other com mittees the Oswestry, Newtown, and other companies Amalgamation Bill was thrown out. The Norwich and Spalding Bill for powers to the Great Northern to contri bute, work, or lease, was passed. The case of the Kington and Eardieley Railway, for extensions to Preeteign and Craven Arms, and for additional capital and arrangements with other railways, was opened by Mr. Venison, Q.C., and witnesses were examined in its favour by Mr. Round. The new branches bill of the Scottish Central was also passed ; and the bill of the Scottish Central for transfer to them of the Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen Junction, was opened by Mr. Hope Boott. The clauses of the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh and Dunfermline Railway Compe -1 Mee' bills were settled • end the case of the South York , shire Railway was under further consideration.

In Brazil, for which there has been a fair inquiry, little or no change can be quoted; for Egyptian, however, the quantity offenog being large, somewhat irregular rates have pre vailed, and quotations are reduced about gd. per lb. The holiness io Surat, dm, continua on a fur scale, the better qualities from their scarceness command previous full prices, whilst the common grades, of which the recent im• port chiefly consists, are about d. per lb. lower. Spec. laton have taken during the week 19,340 bales, exporters 6,420 bales, and the trade 17,130 bales of all kinds. We have a fair inquiry to-day. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 2,000 are for export and speculation. The following are the official quotations :—Fair Orleans, 250. ; middling, 21 1 ; fair Mobile, 25d. ; middling, Vgd. ; fair uplands, 244 d. ; middling, 211 d. -- COTTON GOODB.—Mangserrie, Jim s.—For pros there has been a little more inquiry than there was on Tuesday, and there is • more cheerful feeling in the market ; bat upon the whole business is quiet, and in some cases prima are rather easier. These remarks apply to vertu for all foreign markets, as well as the home trade. The cloth market remains fully as quiet as on Tuesday, but there is a lees gloomy feeling, and there is some inquiry, though it does not lead to much business. On Tuesday and Wednesday the feeling was one of extreme despondency, and business was almost impossible on any terms. The unprovennot in tone is very decided to-day, and though there has not been much done by merchant., some businiwa boa been pruticable on a small scale with buyers for most markets. There is no actual change in prima, but if anything the tendency is to lower rates, though so alight as hardly to be worthy of notice, manufacturers holding very light stocks, and having therefore no necessity to press wales. Letters are to hand from Calcutta and Bombay, dated the sth and 13th of May, and telegrams to the 15th and 16th. Both are of a very discouraging character, and one telegram from Calcutta reports ' Business suspended ; @hidings 3d. to 4 it. lower." The account' from Hong Kong and Shanghae also report the markets worse than at previous dates.
