COLLEGE OF SANDHURST. Colonel NORTH. gave notice of • motion for a (*amines upon the subject of the Royal Military College at Sand hurst, for Tuesday, the 20th inst. THE COFFEE SUPPLIED HOSPITALS IN T 0 1 THEEEAST. TROOPS AND H Colonel NORTH asked upon what days the telluric, ships laden with roasted soiree for the Crimea sailed from England—Sydney Hall. steam transport ; Adelaide, steam transport; rod Lady Eglinton, steam transport? Mr. WILSON 'replied that the Sydney Hall left the Downs on the 20th December, the Adelaide sailed on the 29th December, sod the Lady Eglinton on the 4th January. Colonel NORTH wished also to inquire whether the Under Secretary for War was aware that green coffee was served out In the hospital at Scutari on the 17th day of February ? Mr. PEEL bad no mesas at present of ascertaining what might have taken place so late as 20th February at the hospital at Scutari • but up to the middle of January, which was the date to whi c h amounts had been reeeived, there had been no di 'Union of edits to the hospitals. Col. NORTH—Can the hon. gentleman say whether or not it is true that green coffee was served out to the troops before Sebutopol so late u 12th February ? Mr. PEEL slid that the question the hon. end gallant member had put upon the paper referred to the hospital at Scutari, and that he had answered. He bed not made in qieit7 as to the other point. Col. NORTH thought as the vessels containing the round coffee had sailed nearly two months ago the hon. gentleman would have bun enabled to say whether it had yet been served out to the troop.. He would, however, repeat the question cn Thursday. THE CRIMEAN MEDAL. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY after referring to the gulogium pronounced by the Duke of Newcastle when Secretary for War upon the ganging of our troops at Alma and biker mean, as being equal to anythmg that had been displayed in the Peninsula or at Waterloo, and the promise that a medal would be distributed to those who were engaged in those actions, inquired whether it was intended that the Crimean medal should confer two years additional service, or any peculiar advantages similar to thaw conferred by the Waterloo medal in 1815 Lord PALMERSTON—In =ewer to the question which my hoc. friend has put to me, I have to state that un doubtedly those action. were actions in which the brave troops of this country displayed as much valour semis ever evinced npcn any former occasion; bat although a medal has been conferred on those who were engaged in them, it is not intended to accompany it with the further privilege of counting those actions as two year. service. The house will be aware that there were battles fought in the Penin sula in the course of the last war in which the success achieved by the British army was as great and complete as that which wee gained at Alma or Inhuman, but in respect to which, tholes*, no such privilege wee conferred. Waterloo was sluvetber of a different character—that battle put an end to a long way and decided the fate of E it was therefore en rum stamped with a charlatan/1 6 ; owe, and cannot form a precedent in cases such as those to which the hon 'gentleman has referred. THE RECALL OF LORD LUCAN. Mr. HUTT, seeing by official correspondence, that whoa the Duke of Newcastle found it necessary to recall Lord Lima from the command of the British cavalry in the Crimea, he was compelled to obtain the interposition of Lord Harness for that purpose, begged to ask the First' Lord of the Treasury whether, among the improvements in the administration of the army, which he promised to the house on his aocessiou to office, he proposed to empower the Secretary for War to Aran sash changes without the inter volition of the Horse (furls ? Load PALMERSTON answered that no change was in traded to be made in the military subordiestioa of the army. Tito Commando-In-Chief would soli be the autho rity whoa direction would either appoint or withdraw any anion el his staff; but the sets of the Commander-in-Chief would be necessarily submitted to the decision of the go verilneal in mitten of sufficient importance to require it, and their decision would, in due course, be communicated to him by the secretary-at-War. REFORM OF THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to ask the Secretary for the Home Department, whether he had turned his attention to the report of the Corporation Commistioe, and if so, whether he contemplated the introduction of any measure founded theteon ore,' the present sesame ? Sir G. GREY replied, that • bill bad been prepared, founded on the report alluded to, but it was thought dear able before bringing it forward thtt the house should eon • sider and determine apes) the seeder* introduced by his right hon. friend the Preeedent of the Board of Works, in reference to the snealeipal regulations of the metropolis generally. lie hoped, however, both bills would be pro ceeded with in the coune of the present session. (Hear.) THREATENED KAFFIR WAR. Mr. R. 0.

FROM Me LOIC BUTT thee moved that everything oessenal with Mr. I I t hi s matter be expunged from the joarnels of tie laws. I There was a precedent for doing so in 1832, when the lab Mr. Gibbed brought certain charges against Sir Ma at Peel. Immediately atter they had been negatived la hews the house passed such a reminders as be (Mr. sew prerod ; and if ever there was an oemens ea w Seism twat to teach the lean that its proceedings weft an W be need as the vehicle of imputations on private dn. Mew, this was such an occasion. He (Mr. Butt) rested this rosreition upon the wording of the hen. redraws% resolution. It the boo. gentleman (Mr. Cranford) hai eaar tented himself with moving that an inquiry be instituted into the circumstances of Mr. Edwin Junee's appointmen, it would be different ; but his resolution was worded thus: The said Ed sin James having been retest d admission to' the beach of the Inner Temple on account of circumstances oonnected with the election for the borough of Mershon." And he (Mr. Butt) asked the house not to allow their jour nals to be referred to twenty years hence as a proof that there were cirmastancee in the conduct of Mr. James which the Home of Common thought it swamy to in claire into. (Cheers.) Mr. CRAUFURD objected to the Innis. (A laugh.) What he lad stated was, that if a committee were granted he (Mr . Craufard) should be prepared to prove the state ments he had made; but when he found that even the hon. gentleman left him who bad seconded his motion, he could sot put the hones to the trouble of dividing. The use hou having refused to grant an inquiry--aref equally unjust to himself and to the learned gentleman whose name was involved in it—he (Mr. Crauford) mast still object to any such motion as that his resolution should not be placed on the journals. The mottos, " That the foregoiag resolution be not en- 1 toted on the journals of the House," was then put by the Speiser, and Mr. Cranford alone voted against it. The hon. member waited some laughter in the house by insist • ing on a division ; but as no one meld be found who would aocompaey him as " teller," there was no division, and Mr. Butt's motion was aimed to. TRIBUNALS OF INDUSTRY. Mr. MACKINNON called attention to the incenvesience felt in the country from the want of equitable tribunals of arbitration, by whose means any differences between mu ten and men might be satisfactorily adjusted. He said that having had opportunities of seeing how those incitation' called the muesli des prudhomples, worked in France, he was satisfied that they conduced very much to the prospe rity of that country ; and he knew that throughout Eng laad also there was a very strong feeling in f of the establishment of such tonsils or councils-of arbitration. lie believed that one society of workmen in Londe°, con sisting of 16,000 members, was disposed to advocate this measure, and that in other parts of the country there were clubs of the same description, which were anxious to have the means of settling such disputes before an equitable tribunal, avoiding the expenses of litigation. It was a mistake to object that this was a principle not admitted in our law ; for by the act 59th and 40th of George 111. the power of hearing an arbitration, and of making its decisions legal, was admitted; and, in dependently of that, he observed that some years ago,l on the 26th of February, 1843, a committee of that' house was formed, consisting of some leading and influential l members of the house, who came to a resolution that the principle of settling disputes by arbitration was one net against the law of Ragland, and attended with good results to all the parties concerned. There were two Menaces which the establishment of such tribunals would be highly beneficial to the country,—in the case of disputed patents, and in the case of those strikes which Cad reliantly occurred at Preston, Wigan, and other large seats of manufacturing iodustry, sad which were whips not lam perilous to the welfare of this country than the war in which we were now engaged. After some remarks on the costly and uncertain remedy to which en ingenious poor man, whose invention had been pirated, must resort for protection, and on the unfitness of an ordinary court of law for the investigation of such questions, the hon. member said, that it was in preventing disputes between masters and men that a tribunal such as he proposed, to be formed of seven masters and six workmen, well acquinted with the feelings and interests of their respective classes, would have a meet important operation. Instead of the work men meeting in a tumultuous manner, and sending a deputation to their masters to demand an in crease of wages, and the masters, on the other side, meeting with a determination to resist the demand, the matter would be adjudicated with no ill-felling, ne bed blood, excitement, or exasperation. He would relate the origin of such institutions in France. It was in 1806, after the Emperor Napoleon was crowned, that Javier, on his way to Milan, passed through Lyons, the mercantile and manufacturing people waited on him, and requested him to appoint a council of prsolhormesa. He promised them to consider the subject, and issued a decree from Milan, by which he established thou councils of prud homilies, which bad been multiplied tad weed throughout the country is such an extraordinary manner, that he (Mr. Mackinnon) believed there were now not less than 64,000 of those prudArnentes in France, and they had produced very great benefit. Those councils were each formed out of an odd number of masters and workmen, the latter being elected by the masters, and the masters being chosen by the work men. Of course the muters ehoselintelligent, well-conducted men, and the workmen chose the masters who were most jut sad conciliating. By this means amity and good feel iog were preserved between the masters and the men,, and there were no strikes or Smelts in the large manufacturing towns. He did not say that an arrangement exactly similar would answer in this country, but he thought it might, with some modifications, be adopted without any injury, and with much benefit to the country. lie now asked whe ther the government would grant him a committee of the House of Commons to investigate the subject ? That was more advisable than to address her Majesty for a commis sion ; and, in conclusion, he would move that such a cora mines be appointed. Sir GEORGE GREY said every oae must agree that it was very advisable to adopt some means by which differ entia between masters and men should he satisfactorily arranged, but be did not think it was necessary ter the house either to have a select committee, or to address the Crown, in order to obtain information as to the law by which the cessanis dos prudlionurees were established in France, or as to theiepperatien. The law was detailed in an authorised espy of the French laws, which he (Sir George Grey) should le happy either to put the hon. member in possession of, or to lay it upon the table; and which contained an elaborate explanation of the manner in which such councils were established in France, and of the nature and extent of their jurisdiction. As for the operation of the law, if any in formation were wanted, there would be no difficulty, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, is asking this French government to give us such information as might be desirable with regard to the expediency of establishiog each tribunals in this country. he (Sir G. Grey) had great urine whether they would be suited to the habits of the manufacturing and trading population of this country. It should be observed that they exercised jurisdiction not only between the muter and the operative, but between the meanest and the manufacturer who supplied him with rode. Mr. INGHAM referred to the experience of the arbitration fa fitenderland, and other large towns of the north of l is iehint means disputes between the masters and Ml been satisfactorily settled. It was desired that a legal anstintion should be given to these boards whirls, in Tenses places, already existed. Mr. WILKINSON had no objection to voluatary whi nnies. but he objected to giving such Unmans any legal power to arbitrate on the rate of wages, or anything of that Met. Ualess a wart of arbitration had legal jonadietion K would be ber rat ive, and if such powers were given *me might be t.ioes interference in matters that lad their amain the market. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR said that, at a very large meeting ken last year in the musaufactuting districts, the establishment of some court of this nature was approved of elmest unanimously. He did not believe the courts in France, which had been alluded to, had any arbitrary power to settle the wages of any particular trade in any given district; they had only power over such things as were specially referred to them. He hoped the subject wend not Ise lost sight of. They must not suppose, besasse a strike commenced in November, and was over in Demister, that it was all dens with. It was put an end to then only to be renewed on a more favourable occasion, and left much ill-feeling. He thought the subject well deserved the attention of the government, and he hoped that at all events the hon. member (Mr. Maddens) would not let it rest, bat when he got the information would bring in a bill. Mr. MACKINNON said he thought it would be useless his bringing is a bill unless it had been agreed to by a select committee. He asked whether, when the inquiries the right hon. gentleman bad spoken of were made, he would pant him the committee ? Sir G. GREY said he could not promise as to the com mittee. The object of this motion was to ascertain the law sad the operation of it in France, and he thought a co m entos of the House of COUILIIIIIIII was not the best means of didting that information. He could produce authentic bee cents stating what the law was, and he could obtain hdirrineties as to its operation through the medium of the Beseserwy for Foreign Affairs, and with that information Wile the boob. it would be open to the hon. member to mem ne the eeetraittee he thought fit. The media was than withdrawn. Mr. PELLATT moved for a select committee to inquire late the :operation of the sets regulating interments is pereehial burial rounds and proprietary an d other eeressaries.

A general amnesty for political offences is decreed on the occasion of the acoonohement of the Empress. —Daily Nom THE hon. member for Greenock has obtained leave to bring in a bill to facilitate the erection of dwelling houses for the working duns in Scotland. The accommodation for this class of tenants has been of late mach diminished by the same cause that has sent so many thousands of the London poor to seek for new homes in filthy cellars and garrets—the increase of public buildings and the carrying out great im lprovemenl its. When, for instance, New Oxford-street built, the wretched inhabitants migrated by hun dreds to those portions of the town where alone they could expect to find lodgings adapted to their means. Portland-town may be mentioned u a notable instance of this progress. This suburb was already overcrowded by a pauper population, but the owners of the houses were only too glad to take advantage of the eagerness of the new-comers to obtain shelter. The consequence was, that the houses were more densely filled, the population more closely packed, and pestilence adopted the spot as a constant residence. The state of the inhabitants of this portion of the metropolis is fearful. To remedy a similar condition of things in Scot land, Mr. DUNLOP proposes to remove certain obstacles which at present stand in the way of the investment of capital in houses of that descrip- SEBASTOPOL, FEB. 20. tion which would be adapted to the wants I and means of the lower classes. The Erg obstacle is the unlimited liability of parties engaged in associations for building dwelling houses. His proposition is to give limited liability to such parties under the authority of the sheriffs of the different counties, who are to approve of the sanitary regulations adopted, and to see that the required capital is subscribed. He next proposes to cheapen the present expensive mode of conveyance of land where d A elling-houses are to be erected. Of the other alterations contemplated it is not necessary to dilate. It may be remarked, however, that all who spoke on the subject concurred in favour of the measure, and Mr. CARDWELL promised that the Government would lend all the aid they could to make the bill perfect. Every one must be delighted that there is a prospect of something being done to diminish the number of dens of vice and misery in Scotland, and it is to be hoped, if the measure works well, that its provisions will be extended to England. That it will work well if the capitalists can get a good return for their money is certain. But this is the sine qua non. Nothing will work well in the way of commercial speculation unless upon this con dition. The removal of legislative restrictions will do something: • diminution in the cost of erection will do more. Above all, economy of space will help the capitalist in his endeavour to keep down ex penses. Ground rents form a heavy item in the rent of a house. The object must be to do as much as pomible with a plot of land. A mode of effecting this has been proposed which will necessitate a total change in many of the arrangements of houses for the poor in England, and will not be without effect in Scotland. It has been remarked that the great difference between the mode of dwelling in England and in the great continental cities is, that in England you are separated from your neighbour by vertical divisions ; on the continent by horizontal divisions. This remark is applicable in some measure to Scot land, more particularly in the dwellings of the poor. Abroad, they sleep in tiers ; here, we sleep in sepa ' rate houses. The great disadvantage of our system is, that there is a separate ground rent for every family, except in lodging-houses. But lodging-houses were built originally for single fami lies, and have none of those conveniences which are required by a number of families residing under one roof. There is no privacy. The partitions and doors are thin. One kitchen is common to all, or the bed room M turned into a kitchen. Numerous other in conveniences subversive of decency and comfort will occur to the reader. One peculiarity, however, must be noticed, which relates to the danger from the. The man who lives in a separate house is tolerably secure when his next door neighbour's house is on fire. He has a chance of escape. The lodger who lives in a room over another which is. burning has but a slender chance of his life. This consideration suggested itself to Messrs. MIIPITCII and WHICIICORD, two engi neers, who have devoted much attention to social questions. In an Essay on the erection of fire proof houses in " fiats," they show that such houses might be constructed at a cost which would tempt capitalists to invest money in them. These Rate would be provided each with all the comforts of a small house. Taking one of their plans, we see a block of houses which at present prices could be con structed for 2,0001., and would produce a rent of 2301. per annum. There are four stories to a house, each forming a residence, consisting of a living room, of considerable dimensions, three bedrooms, a scullery, and water closet. This would be adapted to the family of a working man of a superior class, and the rent would average about 15s. per week, in cluding all charges for rates, taxes, gas, water, 8:c. Another plan shows us a block of houses, each story of which would be let for 6s. 6d. per week, including all charges. Other plans aro shown, by which accom modation of inferior nature might be afforded to the poorer classes at 2s. 6d. per week. The great point to be observed is, that in all the different plans the capitalist would receive good interest for his money. If it be objected that the elevation of the upper stories would be so great as to occasion annoyance, it may be answered that the continual going up and down stairs necessitated in a common lodging, where water and other things are to be fetched, would be avoided in the flat system. Once in the flat, and you have all your conveniences on the same floor. That constant meeting on the stairs between members of different families, which is such a prolific source of inconvenience and even immorality, would not take place in the proposed houses. Even the necessity of "answering the door" would be done away with, as, by the means of a "lift," articles could be conveyed from below to the occupants of the respective floors. This plan is worthy of consideration, if any large scheme for the amelioration of the dwellings of the poor is adopted. If such a scheme is to work well, it must recommend itself to the notice both of landlord and tenant. That some such scheme is necessary is shown by the appalling accounts we are continually reading of the filth and immorality with which our common lodging-houses are polluted. Practical men ______„r, who take an interest in the subject should be urgul to consider the feasibility of plans like that we hte just described.— Daily News. THE ACCESSION OF SARDINIA TO THE WESTERN ALLIANCE. (COMMUNICATED TO TILE DAILY NEWS.) The appearance of Sardinia upon the theatre of the war has evidently struck alsrm into the Russian cabinet. The elaborate state paper of M. Nesselrode, rebuking the house of Savoy is the angry tone of an offended master, and his appeal to the Alpine campaigns of Suwarrow, and the cession of Genoa to Sardinia, shows that a chord has been touched which has aroused the fears of the court of St. Petersburg. That court is the more alarmed that Sardinia hoe made no sign, pledged herself to no territorial renunciations, and enters, although a minor state, into the struggle with a prospect of material Adm. tage. The accession of Sardinia indicates the hatred which all the smaller states that pretend to even a show of liberty have to the plans of Russian universal empire ' • and the note has al rea d y b een re-echoed in the discussions which hare arisen in Holland. That country is evidently preparing to resist any encroachment of the Northern courts, and feels that its best interests are involved in the sue. cm of the Western Powers. It cannot be accused of entering on this crusade with any feeling of the religions animosities, which scarcely slumber, be. tween the Latin and Greek churches; but it is alive to its situation : and the Dutch people, ever diatin guished for their patriotism, cannot be led away by dynastic sympathies. But the armaments of Sardinia transferred to the shores of the Crimea have another significance. They enter upon a territory once their own, and harbovre which bear their names. In the tenth century the Genoese began, through the favour of Michel Pale o . logos to possess themselves of the commerce of the Black Sea and the Crimea. At first, rebuilding Wee and Balaklava as tributaries to the Mongols, they finally rendered themselves independent. Then the commerce of Central Asia and India was carried ca by two routes—one, from the port of Tane or AA weed through Astrakhan, the Caspian, and the Oxus ; the other from Sebastopol carried the 'dna trade by the way of Tauriz and Bagdad. It is by the possession of the Crimea that Rua threatens the ultimate annihilation of the trade of Central Asia—having seized the old entrepots of this commerce, turned aside the route, and imposed hostile tariffs at the ports of the Black Sea in he =ion. In the present struggle she has always forward to the possible disunion of the Allis,, and the impossibility of either of the two grist Western Powers retaining it as a conquest. But the has overlooked the fact that it might be given to her. dinia as the representative of the ancient claims of Genoa. Such a solution of one great difficulty of the Oriental question is the most vital blow that Russia has yet received. With the mouth of the Danube open, and disgorging the corn of Turkey and of the Danubian principalities-- with a free and active power replacing her sway in the Crimea, and pouring the cottons of England and the productions of France and Germany into Central Asia—Russia feels that the monopoly of Odessa would be abolished. It is no light object or ephemeral interest in a general question which can induce a power, whose existence depends upon the efficiency of her forces at home, to transport them to a distant and dangerous war. Neither can two powerfuletatm leave the enterprise they have undertaken un achieved. The preponderance of Russia will be gone if a second-rate power holds a very tenable part of her territory, under the guarantee of two great maritime states; and all the difficulties of religions discord will bo appeased by placing a power as Christian as herself—it may be added mots Christian—on the emporiums of the Black Sea. If such is not the reason of the expedition of the Sardi. nian army to the Crimea, it deserves to be. Europe demands a material territorial guarantee es an indemnity for the past, and as a security for the future.
