IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS..—MONDAY, JULY 21. The LORD CSANCZLLOI took Wasiak CS 60 woolsack at 5 o'clock. PRIVATE BIISINEBI3. The Earl of Shietib;iiiii;;:tudever and Redbridge Railway, Eastern Union Railway, Great Western, Hereford, RM.. and Gloucester, and Rly Whey Railways, Shrews bury and Hereford Railway, and Salford Imp veruent, Bills were severally read a tbird tine and KENT COAST RAILWAY BILL On the motion ihactiiabalVread; third time, Lord CHELMSFORD opposed the motiou, on the ground that by it the powers of the Board of Trade over Ramsgate harbour would be virtually taawderred to a private com pany, but ultimately the boll was read a thud time mid patied. THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. Lord EBURY presented a petition rgned by 74 fellows sod students of the different colleges at Cambridge, stating that in their opinion the provisions of the Act of tloiformity requiring a declaration of conformity to the church of Rag land were injurious to the interests of the university to which they belonged. Up to the year 1856, the universities of Cambridge and Oxford were governed by the university statutes, dated in the reign of James 1., by which each graduate was compelled to declare that he belonged to the church of Ragland on taking his degree. By an sot passed in the year 1856, that bonier was broken down which prohibited the noacoaformide from availing themselves of the great prises which the universities held out. In the years 1860 and 1861 the senior wranglers were nonconformists; but except they made a declaration of osaformity they were ineligible for fellowships. That was the grievance of which the petitioners complained, and far which they prayed redress. HARBOUR TRANSFER BILL (AMENDMENTS). This bill was reed • third time and weed. PIER AND HARBOUR ORDERS CONFIRILkTION BILL. This bill posed through committee. ENCLOSURE BILL. This bill passed through committee. OOMPANIES, &c., BILL. The LORD CiiiNCill..oll,l7l;in;;ing tbe mooed read ing of time bill, said that bills baring similar objects with the meant cam in view had been introduced in the years 1858, 1859, and 1860. It would not, therefore, be necessary for him to say more than that those objects were to conso lidate the law with regard to the formation of joint stock eomimnw and to afford facilities for their winding-up. The bill was reed a second time. POLICE IMPROVEMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. This bill wee reported, with amendments. INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES BILL. This bal was reported, with amendments. PARKHURST PRISON. Visoort DUNGANNON wished to call the attention of the government to the state of than' which existed in Park hurst Prison. dome time ago one of the warden had been assaulted in Parkhurst by one of the convict., and he re mained for some time in a dangerous state in cargos':we of the injuries ho received. As far sa be could ascertain, no punishment had been inflicted on the man for that assault. About wiz months ago another warder had been assaulted by renal convicts, in consequence of which be had to resign his situation. and soon afterwards died, leaving a widow and children. No steps had been taken to punish these men, and the period of their metros having expired they were let loose upon society. Application was made on behalf of the widow and children of the warder to the directors of the prison for compenntion, but that application was made in vain. He thought this was a state of things which required to be amended, and he hoped the noble earl would give a satisfactory answer on the subject. Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that he was not then in a position to give the noble lord such an answer r would be satisfactory to him, but would make further in quiry oa the subject. WORKS ON THE SHANNON. The Earl of LEITRIM asked if it was the intention of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to advance money to the Board of Works in Ireland, to enable the board to finish the works on the Upper Shannon, which were omitted to be, or were only partly, executed by the Shannon corn. misaioseni Earl GRAN VILLE was understood to say that it was the intentior. of the government to appoint some competent gentleman to inquire into the circumstances of the came, but upon the distinct understanding that her Majesty's govern ment did not thereby pledge themselves to advance any mosey to the Board of Works in Ireland. SALMON FISHERIES (SCOTLAND) PALL. This bill was read a third time, and, on the motion that the bill do peas, The Earl of GALLOWAY moved that the clauses re lating to the Solway should be omitted. After a few words from the Lord STLNLKY of A toracer, the motion war negatived without a division, and the bill Dossed• POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.

(Continued from yesterday's Express.) SUPPLY. A mum of "747/. yam proposed for non-oonforming and other ministers in Ireland. Mr. HADFIELD moved to reduce the vote to 366 f., the sum paid since lso4 to the fund for supporting the widows and orphans of ministers of the Synod of Ulster. The committee divided : For the amendment l6 Against it The vote was then agreed to. 15,764 f. for salanes and expenses of the Board of Fisheries in Scotland. Mr. 'WILLIAMS expressed au opinion that the prosper ous position of the Scotch herring fishery should relieve the public purse from the contributions that bad hitherto been paid for its support. This vote was totally useless, but as he did not wish to interfere with thepayment of pensions to officers employed in the fisheries during the lifetime of the pieaent recipients, he proposed to reduce the vote by Mr. FINLAY defended the vote, remarking upon the great value of the herring fisheries to the poorer awes in I. eland. The committee divided : For the amendment AgainA ii 6-30 It bsiul: wi thin 10 minutes of 4 o'clock when the numbers were announced, the chairman immediately left the chair, and the sitting was suspended. The sitting ... was resumed at six o'clock THE WAlt IN CHINA AND THE CAPE MAILS. Sir M. PETO wished to ask whether a report which was ice:eB7lo4tcurrentroops t i o n i t . he Cit t y ir t , ba .m t l a nd ry to est e had been m hina, was ute sod also what the Lords of the Treasury were doing with respect to the contract for the mails to the tape of Good Hope. Sir C. WOOD cou!il only say, in reply to the first question, that ho had not even heard of the rumour re ferred to by the hon. member. _ Mr. PEEL said, with respect to the second question, that the Treasury were of opinion the contract ought not to be renewed nukes the colony, like that of Australia, agreed to defray one-half the net loss. PROVISION FOR THE WIVES AND FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS IN CANADA. Sir S. PRIV/U/180N asked the Secretary of State for War whether provision had been made for lodging the wives and families of soldiers serving in Canada on their arrival there Sir C. C. LEWIS replied that arrangement, had bOllO made to allow lodging money to the wives owl families of our soldiers in Canada, and that provision had been made for them on their arrival out. THE TROOPS D! CANADA. Sir H. STRACEY, adverting to the rejection of the militia bill by the legislative assembly in Canada, wished to know whether the home government had taken any steps or were prepared to take any, and if so, what steps, either to support the 12.,000 British troops now in Canada or to withdraw them. Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that reinforcement. bad been sent to (loads in consequence of the state of our relations with the United States daring the last winter. It was not intended to withdraw those troop, nor had they any in tention at present of seeding oat say reinforcements. TRH ARMSTRONG GUNS. Mr. H. BERKELEY asked when the returns which he had moved for live months tack, and respecting which be had inquired twice gore. relative to the expense of Arm stroag guns, would be laid upon the table. Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that a committee wee sitting on the subject, and they were obtaining full information as to the expense of the Armstrong and other guns. Under thee. circumstances he had not thought it oreeiraary to make any specific return to the hon. gentleman's motion, as he felt the report of the committee would furnish all the information required by his hon. friend. DLSTL . B.BANCES IN fIERVIA. Mr. D. GRIFFITH wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasiu7 whether, as dated by the PayA, the Turkish go vernment was preps,* to march troops into the Servian ter ritory ; and also whether a Turkish war vessel had amended the Danube bound for Belgrade, and towed and &added by as Austrian steamer ; and, if so, whether such proceed iop met with the support and encouragement of her Ma jesty's government; and whether it wu the use that, on the evening of the 16th day of June, the Pacha of the for ums of Belgrade, th•Servian prime minister, and the con suls of Engtind, France, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, 'ivied an agreement for the suspension of hostilities then' owasziag, and that, arrwikelias, the fortis= bombarded the town for four hours, at nine o'clock on the morning of the 17th day of June; and that the English and other Eumpean consuls had formally protested against that act as a breach of good faith. Lord PALMRRSTON— We bare no information on the fast point, namely, the entrance of Turkish troops into Semen territory ; but I apprehend that if the Turkish government thought proper to send troops into Servia, they had a perfect right to do so. With regard to the trauma tiara at Belgrade, there was an arrangement made by the consuls which it was hoped would have put an end to hostilities between the citadel and the town, but acts of aggression on the part of the people of the town, such as shooting an officer bearing a flag of truce, and a fire of musketry on the works, had led to a resumption of the fighting. Mr. GRIFFITH complained that the noble lord had not answered his question , which was, whether the proceeding, had met with the support and encouragement of her Majesty's government. Lord PALMERSTON—We do not make ourselves answerable for reports in public newspapers, but we have had from time to time reports from the consuls there. Still we are not in possession of all the circumatarieco which took piece and the causes which led to hostilities. No doubt the consuls did their best to interpose and restore peace. Mr. GRIFFITH repeated that his question was un answered, which was whether the English consul had not entered a protest against the proceedings. (Order.) THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 22, 1862'. THE WAS IN CHINA. Mr. S. FITZGERALD asked the Secretary of State for India whether there was any truth in the painful rumour current to-day that the government were in receipt of in formation that our troops had sustained some serious re verse in China. . .. Sir C. W OOD replied that nothing had been received in his department, nor, as far as he was ►ware, in any other department of the government, which he could communicate to the house. THE CHANN EL MAILS. Mr. BERKELEY inquired whether the contract with Mr. A. G. Churchyard for carrying the continental mails be tween Dower and Calais and Dover and Attend had been transferred by that gentleman to any other person or com pany, and whether such transfer, if made, had received the sanction of her Majesty's government? Mr. F. PEEL replied th►t he was not aware of any such transfer having been made, and the contract expressly pro vided that none each should be made. DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.—AMENDMENT OF THE POOR-LAW. Mr. VILLIERS gave notioe of his intention to ask leave to-morrow (thu day) to introduce a bill to enable boards of guardians in various parts of England to meet any extraor dinary demands for relief. (Beer, hear.) THE NATIONAL GALLERY AND THE ROYAL ACADEMY. Upon the order of the day for going into committee of tuPPly, Lord ELCHO moved en address to her Majesty to issue a royal commission to inquire into the present position of the Royal Academy in relation to the fine arts, and into the circumstances and conditions under which it occupies • portion of the National Gallery, and to suggest such measures as may be required to render it more useful in promoting art and in improving and developing public taste. He explained his own views and the course he suggested in the matter of the site of the academy, and, with reference to the concluding terms of the motion, he adverted to the complaints made against the academy, for which he thought there must be some foundation, and to the failures in our public statues and monuments, marlin that there was sufficient ground for an inquiry whether the Royal Academy might not be made a much more useful and important body than it was. Mr. COWPER said the reasons assigned by Lord Elcbo for his motion indisposed him to offer any opposition to it, and be was sure that the Royal Academy, which had the responsibility of a public corporation, would be lo th to claim any exemption from public inquiry. He ad mitted that there were points in which the schools of the Royal Academy might be improved ; he thought its exhi bition conferred very great benefit upon the public at large, and, as to rewards of merit, that the present method was u good an arrangement as could be made. He trusted that the commission might serve • good purpose by closely investigating the details of management of the academy, and suggesting means by which its objects might be better attained. Lord .T. MANNERS trusted that there would he no revival of the attacks which used to be made on the Royal Academy, and the injustice of which had been proved by the manner in which our English artists had been enabled to hold their owu—to say the least of it—against the artists of foreign countries, whose works had been sent to the Great Exhibition. His noble friend had suggested that it would be desirable to build • new gallery on the site of Burlington-house, and he (Lord J. Manners) hoped that the liberal offer of the Royal Academy, to carry out that proposal at their own expense, would receive the best con sideration of the proposed commission. Lord ELCHO withdrew his motion, and gave notice that he would renew it on another occasion. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. Mr. SCULLY called attention to the imperial importance end the feasibility of estathshin; a postal and passenger in tercouree between Europe and N orth America, by means of mail steamers to call regularly, on alternate days, at the port of Cork, with telegraphic communication off Crook haven or Cape Clear ; and naked the First Lord of the Treanor, the views of her Majesty's government with regard thereto. The hon. gentleman disclaimed any idea of treat- ing the matter as a Cork question. In point of fact, he wee coostrained to admit that the Galway people, by the supe rior energy they had shown, deserved to have the line esta blished in connexion with their port. He had not a single Cork man in the house to support him, and he did not think that his advocacy of the scheme would gain him a single additional vote amongst his coo stituenta Nevertheless, he felt it his duty to press the matter upon the attention of the government as an important one upon purely imperial grounds. Cork was in reality some 90 or 100 miles nearer America than Cialsrsy ; and he had no doubt that by adopting it, the passage to the United States might without any additional expense be shortened four or live hours. He felt bound, therefore, tourge the government to adopt the proposal, and to utibes all the existing contracts they had with a view to carrying it into effect. By the line he proposed they would get red of all subsidies, and he had no doubt that eventually it would be adop ted as the most convenient route of communication between Europe and America. Lord PALMEBSTON felt bound to say that the persua sive eloquence of his hoe. and learned friend, when he brought this subject wider his notice before, sufficiently explained to him, as it did on the present occasion, how it was that he, not having any natural connexion with Cork, should have persuaded the electors of that county to send him to parliament—(► laugh)—but the impression was somewhat modified when his hon. and learned friend, as an inducement to him (Lord Palmerston) to give him • favourable answer, said that if that answer were given he would go away to-morrow romping, and not trouble the home again this session. (" Has, hear," and laugh ter.) Now he had no wish to lose his hon. and learned friend, for upon whatever question he addressed the house, he showed that he was thoroughly muter of it, and always brought to bear upon it that hu mour—that good humour—which was peculiar to Inch. Mee. (Cheers.) There were great advantages which Cork pommeled, no doubt, but there were other harbours in Inland which bad equal or superior capabilities as a point of departure, being nearer to America, and offering the facilities of • shorterroute. But without entering into these details, all he could say was, that the general subject of these transatlantic postal contracts ms under the conside ration of the government, who would give it the Lest atten tion in their power. if he understood his hon. and learned friend rightly, his argument was that there should be no subsidy to any company, but that the ocean postage should be held a sufficient remuneration for carrying the mails. That point also was under consideration, as well as the other, viz. the Galway contract. (N eer, bear.) Colonel FRENCH said • few words in favour of Galway. Lord FERKOY denied that there was any jealousy on the part of Cork towards Galway, but contended that there was no port which was so entirely established ea • port of call as Cork. As to its being • port of departure, that was • different thing, and upon that point he urged upon the government to preserve an impartial position. The Trans atlantic Company had applied for • renewal of the subsidy, and he would urge upon the government to consider that application favourably ; but with regard to choosing the port of call, he would say, let that be left to the good sense of the commercial men who invested their money in the undertaking. When government granted • subsidy of 70,0001. a-year they should take care that it was granted to Ireland generally. He would ask the government, for the sake of the share holders and those who had embarked their money in the Galway cortract, to leave it to experience to say which would be the best port of departure from Ireland On the other point mentioned by his boa. and learned friend, he would state that vessels did not make Crookhsven a port of call, and therefore it would be of no use to make it a telegraphic station. It was only is floe weather that vessels could make Crookbaven, and then telegraphic communica tion would be valueless. This was not an Irish qualities, nor au English question, but • European question. And that question was—which was the shortest route between Central and Buttes Europe and America and if the government utilised the materials which were is existence they might immensely shorten the line of communication between England and America. But it was really time the colds lord at the brad of the government came to some decision in reference to the Galway contract. (Hear, hear.) It was a erne' thing to keep all the shareholders—many of them of mall mesas—in • state of suspense for so long a period of time, and he hoped it would soon be put an end to. (Rear, bear.) Mr. BUT said that io the year 1859, be was in a position which enabled him to call a meeting of peers and others Interested in Irish affairs to discuss the question of making Cork • port of call, and it was the unanimous feeling of those present that nothing should be done to prevent the government giving • subsidy to the Galway contract. The meeting thought that the people of Galway, by their superior am tirity, or it might be by accident, had • claim on the go vernment which the other portions of the Irish people did sot poneat, and that it ought not to be interfered with. 14.(11r, Batt) thought that nothing would be more uofor innate alas to start • question of jealousy between Galway and Oadt, sod balional the noble lead woad, if h• goa -1 salted the wishes of the pimple of Ireland, seriously con sider that the claim of Galway was paramount. (Hear.) THE RECENT RULES AND ORDERS OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR. - Mr. COX ailed attention to the general rules sod orders of the High Court of Mauer, issued by the Lord High Chancellor on the 16th of May, 1862, and moved that such rules and orders ought not to continue in force. He coo tended that these rules and orders were prejudicial to a large body of persons, without any benefit to the suitors or the public, and a large charge would be thrown thereby upon the Suitors' Fee Fund. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed that it should be only in extreme cues that the house interfered in reviewing orders which the judges of the courts of law thought would promote , the interests of justice. They could have no other motive, and the house would do wisely to listen with jealousy to the complaints of parties (the law stationers) whose pockets happened to be touched by the substitution of pnnted for written documents. The house divided : iOrNT Coac'ssamodment 26 ApirsB it DDITURBANCINI IN EIERNIC Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained that the noble lord bad not answered the whole of the question which he had put to him at an earlier paiod of the evening. Lord PALMERSMN—Mr. Speaker-- The SPEAKER—I bac to remind the noble lord that he has already spoken on tars subject. (Laughter.) INDIAN FINANCE& Mr. AYRTON ram, pursuant to notion. to all the atten tion of the house to the large balance* held in India and in England on account of the government of India, and to the manner in which the finance accounts for India laid before the house were made up ; and to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether any part of the balances would be applied towards the repayment of the loans by means of which the balances had been increased; and, whether the finance aooounta would be made up in a clearer manner. Sir C. WOOD said he did not think it neosisary on that occasion to enter into the general question of Indian finance. In reply to the observations of the hon. and learned gentle man he had to state that the accounts were kept in the form settled a few years since by a committee of that house. They required a good deal of study, but from the nature and extent of those accounts that was to be expected. Ilia hon. and learned friend had referred to particular items. If he had turned to page 8 of the account he would have seen an entry for the temrorau loans and the Treasury bills lamed ; he would also have seen the account of loans paid off and Treasury bills discharged. With regard to military charges, at page 48 was net forth the amount expended for Indian and home forces, as it was stated by him ► few nights since. He was unwilling to make any change in the form of the accounts unless he clearly saw that they would appear in a more satisfactory manner than at present. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply, and the following votes were agreed to : 13,864/. ' for the Fishery Board, Scotland. 2.0001., for the trustees of manufactures, Scotland. 115,8771., for local dues on shipping under treaties of reciprocity. 3,500/., for inspectors of corn returns. 1,0001., for boundary survey, Ireland. 34,6504, for census of the population. 3,0001., for telegraph companies' subsidies. 2,6471., for Malta and Alexandria telegraph. Upon the vote of 4,6431. for miscellaneous charges on civil contingencies, Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked whether the item relating to orders and decorations comprised all orders including the star, and whether it relieved the recipients from all charges for badges, collars, and decorations. . . Mr. PEEL said the vote referred to the robe. and collars of the different orders, but that the decorations themselves were always returned on the death of the knight, and that therefore there was no charge on the public for them. The vote was then agreed to, u were also the following :- 6,5001. for the officers of the yeomanry cavalry, and 750.980/. fordisambodied militia. - The next vote was 2,8271. far junior attaches. Mr. DODSON, in moving the omission of the vote, said be did not wish to cast any slur upon that branch of the diplomatic service, but this vote was opening up an entirely new channel of expenditure, which was not 'moaners. Mr. LAYARD thought that this subject had been ex. haunted by the discussion which took place a short time ago, on the motion of the hoc. member for Honiton (Mr. Cochrane). The facts of the case were—The committee which considered this subject made several recommenda tions, of which the Foreign-office only proposed to carry out one—one which had been very strongly recommended by every witness who bad been examined before the oommittee— and that was, to pay the unpaid attaches after four years of gratuitous public service. His own opinion was, that they should be paid at an earlier period. He did not think the liberal party were acting wisely in trying to cut down the salaries of public servants. (Ironical cheers.) It was made a complaint that none but the relatives of the aristocracy and rich persons were ap pointed to the diplomatic service ; but by keeping down the salaries of those who were appointed, they made it impossi ble for any but comparatively rich persons to enter it. (Hear.) The object of the vote was to pay the unpaid attaches after four years' service. Whilst the expenditure in other branches of the public service had almost doubled within the last :10 years, there was not only no increase in the 180,0001. allowed out of the consolidated fund for the diplomatic service, but the salaries of the oonsul-generalships in South America bad been paid out of that sum. It was true that there was a surplus of 10,0001. paid back to the Foreign-office ; but it was considered that that sum of 10,000/. should be kept in hand to meet extraordinary expenses. That was one reason why this vote of 2,800/. was not taken from th e surplus of 10,00111. Another raison was that this vote involved a new principle to • certain extent— (hear, hear)—and it was coo sidered that the assent of the house should be asked for it. There had been no increase in the expense of the diplomatic service, and there was no prospect of au increase , and under these circumstances he hoped the committee would agree to this very moderate grant. Mr. HANKEY said that, as a member of 'the committee which considered this subject, he must say that the mem bars were almost unanimous, that it was not desirable to matinee the present system, which they considered to be inconvenient and objectionable. Instead of having • ten dency to promote jobbery, he believed that the present pro- ' position would rather counteract it ; for at present none but persons who had a certain amount of property could be appointed to the position of unpaid attach/v. A large number of persons who wished to see life is foreign courts, and who had a fortune of their own to the amount of 4004 or 5001. a year, were nomioated unpaid attaches, and in the course of time thrse became claimants on the govern meet. It was considered by the committee that this was very objectionable. It was considered a further ground of objection to the system that the ministers had not as strict a hold on the unpaid attaches as they would have if they were paid. Lord H. VANE quite agreed that it was reasonable that persons who had served for some years as unpaid attaches should receive some payment. He thought it, however, by no means desirable that the number of unpaid attaches should be increased. The diplomatic service was necessarily • clam service. Ho hoped it would always continue so. Mr. WHITE said this was not • mere question of 2.8001. per annum, 'out an important principle was involved in it. He knew a good maay young mac who could speak French fluently, and could dance waltzes, who would be very glad to be in the position of attaché, and who would not require 1501. a year. Sir F. GOLDSMID said it was not denied that there was no difficulty at the present time io getting young men to act es attaches without pay. It followed, conclusively, that to pay them was • waste of public mousy, and though a small waste in itself it was likely to lead toe larger waste in future years, sod he should therefore support the amendment. --------- Mr. FREELAND supported the amendment and trusted that before the house consented to the introduction of any change as regarded the diplomatic service it would insist that all charges for that service should he annually sub mitted to parliament in the shape of estimates, and that the system of qualification for persona intending to enter that service should undergo revision. Lord PALMERSTON said be thought the house did not treat its committees very well. (Hear, bear.) A motion was made to inquire into part of the public service, allega- Hoes were made that it was over paid, or that it was too numerous and should be reduced in amount or in allowances, then a committee inquired into the facts and found that the previous impressions were erroneous -that the num bers were not too great, or, as in the case of the consular or diplomatic service, that they were too small—and that the bon. gentleman who moved for the committee came forward and said the cooclnsion to which the com mittee had arrived was wrong. It reminded him of the sailer who wee going to be married, and when he was required to take his wife for better or worse, said that she might become se much better as she liked, but that if she became worse he would have nothing to do with her. (A laugh.) So these boo. gentlemen said if the committee agreed with them, its methanol:is we-e wise ones; but if it differed from their precouceived opinions, though it con sisted of official men, people who knew something about the matter, sod were competent to judge, they would throw the report over, and have nothing to do with the reoom mendatiooa. With respect to the particular question. be (Lord Palmerston) thought the committee were perfectly right. It had been a great grievance that there were in the diplomatic service a great number of young men doing their duty admirably, but without any remuneration whatever. (Hear.) It was said there were always plenty of candidates for the service, but it did not follow that the service would be well performed so long as the government had not that hold upon theee . young men which consisted in giving them • fair remuneration for their services. Thee it was lasted the number of attachis was unlimited, but the amount wan sot unlimited, and it was • mistake of his hoe. Mend (Mr. White) to suppose that this house would abdicate its func tions, and abandon its control over the vote in future yeas. It must be remembered further, that the attaches were in • different position than formerly. (Hese, bear.) They now liad‘o submit to • very strict eaarnina-lon, and conse quently there was not the same arbitrary ° power as for merly existed of making appointments. H is hoe. friend had _also shown that this sum of 180,0001. would not be wholly sat—part of it would be retained to the Exche quer, making • saving more than equivalent to the sum now objected to. If the diplomatic service of the present day were compared with that of past years it would be found that it was lase essay. whilst from experience he could say it was much better performed. There was no diplomatic orrice in the world better performed—he might say so well performed —as the British. They collected informa tion better, and kept their government better informed as to what was passing, than any other. He hoped the house would not be carried away by the apprehensions of his boo. friend, but would adopt this recommendation of the com mittee. Mr. HENLEY said he thought the noble lord hardly treated the house fairly when he said that it did not pay due respect to its committees. What had the go vernment dorm? (Hear, hear.) This committee made several recommendations ; the government threw them all over except one—(No, no) and this was brought forward, he supposed, to save some credit to the committee. If the government.mistrusted so many recommendations he did not see that the house had not a right to mistrust one. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman the Under-Secretary said they had more money than they wanted, then why come sod ask the House of Commons for more? The next argument rather staggered him (Mr. Hen ley). It was that these gentlemen should be placed on the permaneht list, in order that they might become entitled to pensions. But if they had moregentlemen than they wanted, why should they te placed on the permanent list ? The noble lord did not say that the strictness of the examination had canoed any diminution in the number of candidates. If there was no diffiailty in getting men he thought the house had no right to pledge the country to this extent (Hear.) Mr. LAYARD said the right hon. gentleman could not have been present the other night when he explained that it was the intention of the government to carry out all the resolutions of the committee ; and that they had simply adopted this one first. The examination which these young men had to go through was a very severe one—so much so, that he had known many rejected who had claims on the country through the service* of their relations. These young men, he submitted, ought to be paid. They might lave paid this sum out of surplus, and the house have been none the wiser, but the go vernment bad thought it the most straightforward course to come down and ask the house to sanction the expenditure. (Hear, hear.) It was the wish of the Foreign-office to diminish rather than to increase the num ber of employes, and be sincerely hoped the house would secede to this vote. Mr. SCLATER BOOTH hoped that the hon. member would press his amendment to a division, and said it should receive his hearty support. Mr. CLAY thought the unfortunate attaches were a fair specimen of a clam of whom they had occasionally heard, namely, who got " more kicks than halfpence." He had had considerable experience with regard to diplomatic services, but he knew of none where the attachés were paid to little or were worked so much as in our own. The committee divided — Ayes 73 Noes 6O-13 So the item was retained. The last vote was 5,5871. to cover deficiencies in the postal packet monies last year. Thu was agreed to, amidst loud cheering. The house then mimed. FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISION FOR EICPENSFI3) BILL The report of amendmaTts was considered. Sir G. LEWIS moved a proviso on clause 2. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY complained that if the pro viso were passed, the schedule appended to the Lill would become a mere nullity. Sir G. LEWIS mid that the proviso now stood in exactly the form to which the hon. baronet assented. If, however, the Lon. baronet thought it unsatisfactory he had no wish to insist upon it, bat bad introduced it in accordance with what he understood to be the wish of the hones. The proviso was then put and agreed to. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY proposed an amendment on clause 20, requiring that the account of the expenditure should be made up and submitted to parliament in the month of April, instead of the month of July, which was agreed to. Some verbal amendments having been introduced by Sir G. Lawin in the schedule, Sir F. SMITH urged some objections to the form of the schedule, ea not being sufficiently precise as to the mode in which the accounts were required to be made up. The sum which the house was asked to vote in each year, it must be borne in mind, bad to be multiplied by seven or eight times to get at the aggregate. He contended that the whole of the 87,0001. required for the mortar batteries at St. Helen's would be money thrown away, for it would be perfectly ineffectual. The same might be said as to the works at Portadown.hill and Plymouth. He proposed to reduce the schedule by 12,0001. under the head of Isle of Wight, Bt. Helen's, and Portpool batteries. 12,0001. was the amount now required, but the total amount involved was 87,(X)01. Sir J. FEBOUSSON differed from the hat speaker as to the effeeds of mortar fire, adding that any person who, like himself, had been exposed to it would naturally have a very wholesome dread of its disagreeableness. .(A laugh.) Colonel DUNNE said that mortar fire was ineffectual at a distance of 1,000 yard.. Mr. A. SMITH suggested that the government, instead of going on with • number of works at the same time, should begin and finish one at • time. Sir G. LEWIS remarked that it was imposs i ble to my that one particular work was more needed than another, the fact being that all formed part of one plan, which had been well considered and approved, and all bearing equally upon the others they were all equally necessary. The house then divided : For the motion Against 44-29 The suin was then agreed to. Mr. C. BERKELEY called attention to the schedule, and said there were great discrepancies in the figures ; either the government had taken 70,000 too much, or 80,000 too little ; and be thought this matter required some expla nation, Sir a. C. LEWIS thought there wu oo reel discrepancy in the figures. The statement of accounta wee perfectly correct. . . Mr. B. OSBORNE said that some further explanation was necessary. Ate dinner recently given to 'H. Reuther, at Willis's Rooms, cabinet ministers declared that pesos with France rested on a sound foundation, and yet the government asked for an enormous sum for fortifications. Lord PALMERSTON thought the confuaion as to the schedule had been created by the hon. member who had brought forward the subject. (A laugh.) His right bon. friend had given the true account, vie., that the amount shown in the schedule was just right. (A laugh.) As to his bon. friend who spoke List, and who had a sort of mania on the subject, he was not more satisfied now, after his repeated defeats, than he was at first, and the house and the country would be able to appreciate his argu ment. Having stated that the country ought to have a powerful fleet, and feeling, as be must do—for he presumed be had reflected upon the matter—that we could sot main tain a fleet without dockyards, he arrived at the strange conclusion that we should leave our dockyard' undefended. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said the matter was not to be joked away. (Hear, hear.) There was clearly an error to a large amount in the schedule. Sir G. C. LEWIS contended that there was no diem palmy in the schedule. With respect to the site of the arsenal referred to, it was asked why the sum taken for it was not repeated ? It was voted under the original act ; the money was still in the power of the government., and no Dew sum having been taken for the purpose in the present year, it did not reappear in the schedule. Sir F. SMITH said that the schedule was not correct, and he hoped it would be set right. The right hon. baronet was not responsible for the error, as it was evi dently the work of the clerk who prepared the account. With respect to the forts on Portsdown. bill he had hoped that the government would not proceed with at least two of them. He would not, however, re open that subject, but would move the reduction of Ihe amount estimated for the Elsie Line Forts—namely, 20,0004 Mr. AYRTON observed that the schedule was manifestly erroneous in the particulars pointed out. Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated that the schedule was per fectly correct. The amendment was then negatived. Mr. A. SMITH moved to leave out " Plymouth, north eastern defences, 10,0001." Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the course which had been adopted was very incoovenient—first to discuss all these items in committee, and then to re-discnn them over again on bringing up the report. Mr. A. Sbl ITH said that the works at Plymouth had not been discussed ice committee. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that certainly there had been • great deal of discussioo about the works at Portsmouth, and he thought at Plymouth also. He was not able to discuss this scheme critically, and he must leave the ques tion to the decision of the committee. (Hear, bear.) It certainly bad happened that io some instances the estimate for the purchase of lands by government had been ex. ceeded. Lord A. V. TEMPEST said that the right hon. baronet himself bad urged that the details of this bill might be considered in committee. He thought the noble lard at the head of the government did sot treat those who op posed these fortifications with fairness when be said they aid not want a navy. What they said was that they ought to have an efficient navy, and not to expend the money on useless fortifications. . . . . The reWrisitaailMo received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time this day at 12 o'clock. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (IRELAND) ACT (1860) AMENDMENT' HILL. The amendmenta to this bill were oossideand. Mr. Burr moved that the bill should be recommitted for the purpose of inserting clauses ' empowering grand juries to give compensation to dismissed inspectors of weights and measure,. Sir H. PEEL said it was admitted that these charges could not be thrown upon the consolidated fund. (Hear, hear.) Then, how could they justly be thrown upon the county rem when it was clear that the inspectors were remov able at the pleasure of the grand juries He hoped the house would not consent to the motion of the hon. and learned membe r. _ _ . Mr. GEORGE supported the motion. Colonel FRENCH said the understanding was, that if these parties hal any claim to compensation it should coma out of the oonwilidated fund. He opposed the motion. The amendment was negatived without a division. LUNACY REGULATION RILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. COPY HOLD, to., COMMISSION BILL. This bill paused through emandinee.

The attention of members was chiefly occupied with the settling on the previous week's accounts, and it was not until late in the afternoon that betting upon future events took plum. For the Nottingham Handicap, Stampede and Cape Flyaway were most inquired after, but offers of 7 to 4 and 4 to 1 respectively did not tempt backers. For the Goodwood Stakes the Rather High colt, who bad been freely supported in the City during the morning, was backed at 10 to I—odds which bad a depressing effect upon his stable companions, as it was the georral opinion that he is the selected one to do battle for the Woodyeates stable ; still • certain "party" entrusted their money to Daletime and Bosh, with an , idea that with the two strings to their bow they should be sure to be on the right one. In the City also, in the morning, one at least of the "American lot" was put hors de combat, as Rubicon, who had been for some time prominently in the market, was sent to 50 to 1 offered. Fresh support was given to Myrtle, which was followed up at the coiner, 12 to 1 being taken freely. Canary, who sung sweetly to the tune of 12 to 1 at the club in the morning, was not in such good voice at Hyde-park-corner, as offers of 100 to 8 did not meet with • Teapot's. Speculation on the Goodwood Cup was principally confined to the four favourites. The Wizard finding friends at half • point lees than hat week. Reiland was also in good demand at 9 to 2, but Fairwater was undoubtedly backed for most money. Of the outside division Audrey found support at 20 to 1. For the Si Leger, 9t02 ma offered agat the Marquis, and 13 to 2 taken about Caractecus. Johnny Armstrong was several times inquired after, and had many friends at 25 to 1 (taken). Hurricane, Bonny Breastknot, and Sappho comprised the remainder of the animals locked for this event.
