Sir G. C. LEWIS said be was not aware whether env east% allowance et warm clothing hail been sent out to the troops who went to Canada last summer and previowily, but without having time he could not answer the question in INDIAN ARMY. On the order of the day for going into committee of ou;WIY, mr. H. B,\ I LLIE called attention to the want of system which preyed* in relieving` her Majesty's troops serving in India and the colooke. He pointed out that the abolition of the army. and the increase of the royal army front W,OOO km *4WO men, had changed the nature of the ser vice of the royal army, and affected seriously the system of reliefs. which operated so se to make the queen's forces almost local troops, without any of the advantages which formerly attached to the local service. Sir C. WWI) said that when the amalgamation of the Indian army wee under 000sideratioa, the government had carefully coosidered the number of battalions that would be required to allow a proper system of reliefs to be intro duoed. That question bad come under the dimities of the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Herbert, and himself ; and they bad also consulted various military authorities on the subject. It was quite true that cases had arisen—though not very recent! —in which regiment , had been kept abroad for period. near y approaching twenty years • but the plan which the military authorities wished to int roduce was that each regiment should serve tear years abroad and five at honie. That was of course exclusive of the Guards, and also the cavalry, which seldom required to be sent abroad. The scheme originally drawn out had been altered to the extent of three or four bat taliose, but those alterations were in favour of the troops staying at home, for it appeared that rather fewer battalimis were required in India ilea had bees expected. Their plan was that there should be 56 battalions in ludic, and 38 in the colonies. making • total of 94 ; and that there should be 47, or half that number, at hams The total number of Wee, I Boss in the service would tiles be 141. Latterly there had bees rather an extraordinary demand for troops in varions parts of the world—ia New Zerslood, in randy, and at tlibraltir : but there were sow, or rather would be, when a regimeet (which was now oo its voyage) arrived io Eng land, 14, battalions in lodia, 45 is the coke: vies, and 40 at boom. When the extraordivary demand for men abroad ceased be hoped that the plan would be carried out in its integrity ; but as it was, he believed that there had never been a nearer approach to that great desideratum, ten years service abroad and five at hoses than there was at the pre sent moment. (Hear.) INDIAN FINANCFS. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY, having a:peered au opinion that it would have been desirable to retain •local force in India in order to lessen the pressure upon her Majesty's army, proceeded to move "That it is the opinion of this house that all moseys required on account of the raising, training, Ac., officers and men for service in India, and all other ex penses connected therewith, shall be voted is this house in a separate estimate ; and that all such moneys shall be re. paid into the British exchequer by the Indian government." Sir 0. C. LEWIS said he did not at all dispute the right of the lion. baronet to bring forward this motion on going into committee of supply upon the estimates for this year. But he thought the house would see that it could have no bearing on the estimates then upon the table ; because, in order to give effect to the motion, the present estimated must be withdrawn and entirely recast, and considerable delay must occur on account of the double operatiou. Therefore, whatever im portance the motion might have, it must be considered as limited exclusively to some future period. But if the government had adopted the course which the hon. baronet recommended, he (Sir G. Lewin) should have ex pected to hear him protest against a system so anomalous and complex. and call upon the government to adopt the course which had been followed in these estimates, because the fact was unquestionable that the course hitherto adopted had been imperfect and anomalous. There was a charge of 1.10,000/. for the noneffective services, which was paid into the Exckequer, both the moo-elective services being in cluded in the vote. On the other heed, with regard to the effective services, and the holism depute is this country. matters were arranged between the Indian go vsronieet and the War Department : the War Department incurred the expense and kept a separate account. Them accounts were promoted to the Lydian government, and the *epees« were paid, but oo tram of that transaction ap peared in the army estimates. In fact, it was • mistake to say that sow for the first time the ways sod mesas wen called upon to advance the money; the mosey was jag as much advanced out of the ways and mesas before. The only diffusers was that there wee a tranasction between ladle and the Wir elike of which the house had no cognisance. This, there fore, was not a retrograde change ; it was • decided immovament. The whole expenses now incurred by this country and paid out of English taxation, in the first indiums appeared upon the votes, and they made aa estimate of the repayment by tie Loden government. This dad been arrived at upon a fixed and simple process dahlias of being liquidated according to the number of men in the lie au establishment. There had never been any dispute between the lodise and the home goveromeut as to the amount. It seemed to him that the matter wee sow placed on a mast simple and intelligible principle, of which the house coold have no mama to oomplaio. The course which had bees takes wee precisely opposite to that which had Imes &scribed by the hoe. baronet. What, he (Sir O. Lewis) asked, was meant by the amalgamation of the English sad lodise armies? It meant that the army is India should farm • branch of the European army ; sad if the two armies were amalgamated why should not the accounts be also: So far as the expellees of this country were con cerned, the outlay with regard to lodes ought to appear in our Waroveke estimates. (Hear, hear.) He could out ad mit that there was the slightest advantage in the course recommended by the hon. baronet. But even if it were desirable that the two estimates should be laid upon the table separately, it wee • question whether such a course would he practicable. So tar as he (Sir G. C. Lewis) was able to judge from inquiry, the wit of man could not devise a clear principle upon which the estimates could be cake latest separately with /mythic's' like accuracy. Under these circueistatices, he hoped the house would not agree to the resolution.

Did government mean to give the cloth to the volunteers? If something were not done in the way of encouragement, the force would very soon melt away. He should always be ready to vote in favour of rifle ranges. Colonel BARTE LOT suggested a permanent supply of military sergeanta for the volunteers', and hoped the govern meat meant to supply the latter with cloth at least once In four years.

Mr. ItENNESSY said, with all deference to the right hon, gentleman, he did not think the bill at all neosesary. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he should per more attention to the opinion of the learned gentleman if it had legal weight, but the government had taken legal opinions on this sub ject. It had been held that the appearance of an officer's name in the Gazette was not evidence, and the court re quired the production of the commission. Hitherto the commission had had the sign manual, and this bill was to prevent the oeoessity of that. The bill was then read a second time. CHURCH BATES. - On the motion of Sir C.

The rifle range is at some distance from the barracks, in a secluded district, bounded on one side by the Thames, and on the other by the North Kent Railway, and is admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is intended. The marsh land is now being levelled and drained to prepare it for the troops, and huts are in course of erection thereon for the accommodation of the officers and men under in struction. The whole will be ready for the reception of the troops during the present summer. The 20th company of Royal Engineers, which has been stationed in Western Australia 11 years, has been placed under orders to return to England, and is shortly expected to arrive at head-quarters. NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. OFFICIAL TRIAL OF RIFLES. The competition was resumed yesterday. The shooting commenced at 044 o'clock at the I,oooyards range, it being arranged in accordance with the regulations that the competitors, Messrs. Whitworth, Henry, Turner, Terry, Rigby, and Ingrain, should each fire 20 rounds from their respective rifles. We regret to say that the most amicable spirit did not appear to prevail, and that one of the competitors (Mr. Ingrain, of Glasgow), after protesting against the manner in which the contest had been conducted by the council, left the ground, and stated that he had made up his mind to retire. The two first competitors were Messrs. Turner and Ingram. Some good shooting was made, but the state of the target was decidedly favourable to Mr. Turner. Mr. Rigby and Mr. Terry then entered the lists, sod the result was not of a nature to inspire confident impel of mem to either of those gentlemen, although their rifles are certainly finished models and most efficient and performed some very excellent Fantle's. The remaining competitors were Mr. Henry and Mr. Whitworth; a nd although the firing of the former gentleman was better at the 1,000 yards than last week, it was oertainly Dot so for tunate in it. results on the target as that of Mr. Whit worth. The proceedings of the day terminated about half pest five o'clock, when it transpired, by the evidence of the photograph state of the targets, as taken by Captain Fan tail, that the best shooting had been made by Mr. Turner, who, to the surprise of many, bad managed to best Mr. Whitworth. It must, however, be observed, that, taking into account the total result of the firing up to the present time, Mr. Whitworth has the advantage, and should he not be singularly unfortunate at the final heat this day, mast be the winner. Am it had been objected that Mr. Whitworth had been allowed for one rifle at 1,000 yards range two trial shot. more than other competitors, it would be conceded on the part of the council that these 20 shot. should be again competed for. Some conversation ensued, and Mr. Terry and Mr. Ingram strongly contended that equal advantages had not been afforded to all the com petitors, especially with regard to the question of nets. The following document was then submitted to the compe titors for signature :—" We are satisfied with the arrange ,' meats that have been made by the council of the National ' Association for the competitive trial el small bore rifles, which his been conducted with &imam anti impartiality." Messrs. Ingram, Terry, and Turner retuned to sign this document, which has not yet received say signature. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALLI3.-MONDAY.
