Yesterday the committee continued to extend its Inq..%ry Into the adrototetretion of the °Mouse iiroAlt. Inset ; Maior General S.r Frederick Smith and Me, Moo sell, of that deratment, being present. Sir Thomas Hastings was first recall 4, sad handed in various teturns relative to the supply of waterproof capes and heopital furniture fur the troops in the Crimea, and said he could give the committee other instecees, in addition to the one he had already given, in which the:authority of the Board of Ordnance had been need by a siugle member of the board. Lost year witness, daring ten months, was the only member of the board transacting business at the Ordnance, and this was during the heavy rumors of business in that department. Sir R. RAW was also there, but he was shout entirely oc cupied with the military department. Some of the papers of toe board during this time bad only one signature when they related to ordinary matters of detail, but not when they involved a principle. There were certain thins called board pipers, however, were always expected to have two signature.; but those that were called departmental papers, such as papers relating to the Comptroller of Stores department, the Clerk of the Ordealete, and of the Sur veyor, they generally and legitimately came only under one signature. One of the additional instances be wished to mutation was the following t—A vessel was ordered round from Chatham, to form a store depot at the Arsenal at Woolwich, but without an order of the board, by Mr. Mou sed, the Clerk of the Ordnance. Wetnese said to Mr. Monsell, "Are you aware what would be the expense of this ?" Mr. Monsell said, tt No :" to which wit ness replied, " Probst:oy 2,0001.;" et which Mr. Monsell seemed surprised, and he (Sir T. Hastings) had an inti m ate made of the eapeuse,which went to confirm his views; tot Mr. Monsell took the papers, and sail, "I'll settle it; I'd see Lord Fillmore." This was a transaction that would have involved coneiderable expense, without reference being previously made to, or an order from, the board. Sir J. Pokington—Was any 'epeeist' actually incurred? No. 'zap% the expense of bringing the vessel round. Then you mean that the expense was averted by your interference 2—Exactly. Sir T. flutings would mention another cage of the hoard's authority being exercised without the direct sanc tion of the board. Col. Wilson address ed a letter to the Secretary of the Board of Ordnance, applying for an in quiry to be instituted into the existing state of the taboret tory; and this letter was given to the Clerk of the Ordnance, but it bad never been brought before the board. By ?dr. Ellice —Had there been a Muter-0e 1 to super intend the businese of the Ordnance, these things, in wit area's opinion, would not have happened, es under the old system, and befotte the change, every quill As of this kind was referred to him for approval. The Muter General of the Ordnance was what the First land of the Admiralty was to Whitehall, having the same ;sown* practically, with the exception that be could reverie the proceedings of the subordinate., which the First Lord of the Admi ralty could not. Upwastas of 6,000 waterproof capes were ordered in November, but they were not received at the Tower until January following. Provision was made for the supply of 2,666 beds in July, and 7,770 more in March. Recently Mr Stacey, from ad vanced years and indisposition, resigned hie appointmeat as' head storekeeper, and witness applied to Sir Hew Ross to fill it, recommending certain periods, as it was mut ue. gent ; but Mr. Moneta took the pepers and no appointment lad as yet been made. This, he thought, could not have Inputted had the MastertGeneral, Lord Raglan, who was supreme in matters of promotion and appointments, not been absent ; though Sir Hew Ross, who succeeded him, had all the powers of the Muter. General in every respect. The matter got into Mr. Mona ll's hands, and come beton the board. The Chairman—You said there were other instances ? Sir T. Hastings—Yrs, there was a case in which a severe reprimand was ordered in the ease of insubordination on the part of a particular officer, but where the reprimand was not carried out The Chairman— Wu that done by Mr. hlonsoll ? Sir T. Hastings—Yes. The Chairman—You had better state the case. Sir T. Hastings here hesitated, and said—The committee would feel for the unpleasantness of his position. The eau was thie. A gentlemen of considerable ability was appointed to an cffice in the Ordnance, but became of an insubordinate turn of mind, and Sir Hew Bose wrote a severe reprimand to this officer, and witness pat his initials to it. Mr. Mon sell suesequently wrote a letter to the Board of Ordnance, calling on them to rescind the reprimand, and telling the board that if they did not he should place the papers in the hands of the Secretary at Wae. Sir Hew Ross sent for witness, on the occasion, and they considered that the board had done quite right, and witness said that nothing should induce him to reecind his decision on the subject, end the decision was not rescinded. General Peel—Was it not unusuel for you t r attach your signature?—The members of the board were entitled to do this, as they sate both in a civil and military capacity, Witnese had revised the store-keeping system at the Tower, conceiving that the business of the war could not be carried eat on the limo limited system of the establishment, which he esused to be considerably increased. A communication bad r. tautly come from the Minister of War to Sir Hue Roes, stating that all appointments for the present should be temporary ; bat this he believed was in consequence of contemplated alterations in the department. Mr. Monsell on one occasion had made application for a particular pro motion, and Sir H. Wits would not make it. No ezpendi tare could be incurrt.l by oae member of the board only, but it could be by t 4 ,.; but he could not say decidedly whether there were two signatures of the board for the contract for huts in the Crimea, and the construction el these hots was commereed before the estimates were brouchrbefore the Etiard of Admiralty. The contract We. carried out by Sir Frederick Smith. There was some iris. galority as regarded the form, hut the Board of Calmar paid the bill. (Laughter.) Tne bats were urgently wanted. and ships were waiting to take them out at dioutkamptema He did not know whether Sir H. Roes had the papaw spoken of as takes by Mr. Monet it forte. riled to him et Me own desire, or that he sent them to the Secretary at Was. lie believed General Cater bad reneited reports as to the state of the fuses from the Crimea. By Mr. hen the result of you• evidence is that it would be as difficult to carry (-a the administration of the Board of Ordnance successfully without a Muter-0 1 and a complete board is it would be to carry on the admi nistration of the navy without a First Lord of the Admiralty? Sir T. Hestinea-1 think ao. I regret very much that the application I made to have an audience with the Secretary for War was not compleed with, because it would been much more in unison with my feelings to base stated these things to the Secretary of War, rather than to have bad it extracted from me by the committee. Mr. Monsell, Clerk to the Bard of Ordnance, was next examined. He said he had now held that office for nearly two years and six months, and wi-hod to be permitted to make some explanations to the committee relative to some imputations that had been cut upon him. The Cnairmsn of the Committee would come to this matters in due course, *rad the bon. gentleman would have every opportunity of mallets any explanations on the gam. '! tin. Mr. Monsell then continued to state, in reply to questicu from the chairman, that he acted in the capacity of a co caddish, member of the Board of Ordnance, haying no more power than any other member of the board, with the exception of the control of the financial department ; but he had no more power of originating or deciding than any other member of the board. He was the medium of com munication between the board and the Minister of War. Both be and Sir Hew Rees were in communication with the Duke of Newcastle in the occasion of political conferences; he (Mr.Monsell) representing the civil, and Sir 11. Ross the military deportment of the beard. It was quite correct that the Board of Ordnance was an executive rather than a sug gestive body. The board considered how quickly and cheaply things could be carried out. Amongst other duties was the makrg of contracts for the supply of provisions and stores; sad the first suggestion be had from the Minister of War with regard to the supply of warm clothing foe the trope was on 21st June, and on that being com municated by him to the Board of Ordnance, inquiries were made as to the bete mode of carrying oat the order. He and Sir T. Hastings issued an order for the articles to be provided, r proposed by the civil officers at the Tower, ezewpt 50,000 socks, for which further instructions would be given. He also gave orders that all the patterns of flannel shirts, drawers, and stockings should he ti au.). mined to Dr. Smith. lie might mention to the eointiolttee, that apt* the beginning of November, he and Sir T. Hest logs and Sir H. Roe acted together in the most cordial , and there was no sort of disagreement; bat from November to 18th January a dispute arare with refire ou to the case of Colonel Wilson. The Chairman (interrupting) said the committee were of opinion the hon. gentleman should not a present touch upon that topic; and then inquired whether the °Murat was a board order or a deriftillOntil Order ? Mr. Moesell—Decidegy a board order. The Chairman—Then, according to Sir T. Hastings, not having a signature, it would be an irregular proceeding ? —I do not think an order of that sort required two signa tures, 'wording to the ordinary practise of the board ; bat the committee would find that out better from the Secretary of the Board. Dr. Smith, on the 15th July, seat is a report approving of some of the warns clothing and rejecting other parts of it. fter materially to alter A the that, witness found it necer2r7 eagagemeat entered into with Mr. Hyaaston, on the ground that the pattern for some of the clothing was sot qalts satisfactory ; but be did not think that Yr. F,Yassen was is any way damnified by that alteration. 1 Ile rfalti.. was that the board procured better articles than they slaZds have procured it the original order to Hr. Hynaston bad sow on without any_ interference. As to the ease of the laboratory at Woolwia, an alteration of which, as stated by Sir T. Hastings, had bees made at witness's suggestion — namely, the addition of two bays t he denied having ver gives an ardor for these two bays. He believed, howe, the the matey ia asking than r tes mania la toed perpeoe—seateky, tho or wales ter- re'es H•*mist W elleeedes eseeties had been merle by the smitille etiredideb, mks the misappre kension of an eider shish be (eleame) sever gave. To Gen. Peel—The Sill Ist the laboratory at Woolwich had been paid by the Board of Ordnance. To Mr. Roebuck—When the payment of the work was sanctioned by the Board of Ordnance, they would become acquainted with the irregularity in respect to the construc tion of the bays, if irregularity there were. The payment was sanctioned after the erection of the buys had com menced. It was his strong conviction that he n gave a verbal order for the erection of those bays. Adverting to the ah.II foundry at Woolwich, spoken of by Sir Thimsa Hastings, and which Sir Thomas stated ins only intended to be a small model factory in the first instance, but was built on a much larger scale than the minute of the board justified, witness, finding the Ordnance was getting slowly on in the making of shells, fell in with • proposal made to him by Captain Boger that for 7,0001. he would erect ma chinery which would do ell the work of mskieg shells he • moat rapid manner, and get the board out of its difficulty in that respect. He (witness) took that responsibility on him self. Tee result had been a saving to the country in one week of 1,2001. in the construction of linen and the boa thing of shells alone, and the impossibility of the board being again in want of those projectile,. To Sir J. Pekington—Befcre p!scieg the 7,0001. et the disposal of Captain Boxer, he (witness) did not procure any estimate of the werk to be done ; but the bill- for the exe cution of the work had been regularly weed and paid. The work was undertaken on the unsupported statement of Captain Boxer that he would do it for that MUD. That 7,0001. was included in a vote of parliament, but not in a specific f rm. He thought it was part of a sueplemental estimate presented to the house in Pavony. To Mr. lieesbesek—He sappeseed teen wee we seamen against Capt. Boxer receiving 7,0001, and only expending 3,0001. (A laugh.) The shell foundry, under on order sal the Board of Ordinate, dated in December last, was in tended as a model eetabintment, where the gun manatee. turen of this country could learn from time so time all the best and most improved methods of carrying on the various dep intimate of their trade, and the cost of it was not to exceed ten thousand pounds. It had since been erected at an expense much less than that. He was not aware that the shell foundry, as stated by Sir T. Hastings, bad been constructed on a larger scale than the order of the board autherung its construction juitified. He believed the banding had only cost between 7,00 01 . and 8,0001. To Lord Seymour—The shell factory, or rather the ex penditure for it, was initiated by the Duke of Newcastle, and the site of it was chosen on the lentinnendation of Captain C Altos,, an end lug officer of the Baird of Ordnance. The electio n . of the abed factory, strati speaking, was as irregular es the expenditure of 7,0001. by Captain Boner, in that the head of the department was en tirely passed over in its authorisation. Witness, without meaning any disrespect to Sir Timms, Hastings, thought Captain Boxer was • much more efficient officer than Sir Thomas Hastings, and therefore he preferred to follow ties course recommended by Captain Boner in the matter of the shell manufacture. To General Peel—This prmeeding was envied on by two members of the board, the third member, Sir Thomas Hastings, strongly protesting. Sir Thomas Ilaatiogs had no share in the responsibility of it. Lord S 'moue brought under the notice of the witness the ease cited by Sir Thomas Hastings in the comes of his evi deuce on a preceding day, in which Sir Thomas stated be bad felt it his duty to bring under the consideration of the Bond of Ordnance the relationship subsisting between two subordinsle officers of the boardwithout naming them to the committee—which relationship militated in his opinion against the efficiency of the service, and was calculated to bring it into discredit with the public; but, before the Booed of Ordnance had decided upon the matter, It was taken out of their hands and placed in those of Lord Penman, at the instance of witness. Witness replied that the statement of Sir Thomas Hash. ings is reference to that can was in the main correct, and admitted that he (witness) did lay tbs circumstances betore the Secretary for War, and that Lord Penman did 'sam bas in the matter. Lord Seymour—Dia you ever before hear of such inter ference on the part of the Minister fur War 1 Wanted' said, since the consolidation of the War Depart ment, the position of the Board of Ordnance was a must anomalous one. The Secretary of State for War was now charged with the responsibility of the civil duties of the Ordnance ; and if the Master-G 1 of the Ordnance were now in Ennui], he would have to obey the instructions of the Secretary for War. With regard to the Ordnance de partment, they had been endeavouring to work out a ever idea with an old organisation before that organisation was changed ; but, Wittig into account the responsibility of the Secretary for War, and the circumstance that the civil de• ;memento of the Ordnaeoe were about no be te-orgainsed, if the Secretary for War had not taken the step he did in that case (and he took it on witness's recommendation), he would most grossly have neglected bis duty. Witness read and put in the official correspondence which had token place in the case mentioned by Sir Thomas Has tings, and which served strongly to inn Mate the confixt og action and the antagonism of the members of the Board of Ordounce in reference to it. The committee then adjourned until this day at NAVAL AND MILITARY ADMIRALTY, MAT ,7.—ATTOIRYMEND3.—Actin7 Master C. E.

Prices closed above the lowest point of the day, but still j per cent. lower than on Saturday. A tavourablo change in the weather, and consider able arrivals of gold, tended to check the decline, whilst the downward tendency of the Paris bourse operated in an adverse direction. Console were quoted at one period of the morn ing 89; to 1, declined to 88j to a, rallied to 88; to I, and were last quoted 884 to 1, for money and the 10th Mat. The rate for car rying over to the next account of the 30th inst. was quoted "lenders to 1-10 contango." In other words, the dealers were willing to lend stock " even" for the next account, or to carry it over at a charge of 1-16 per cent. to buyers, who do not pay for and take it up. On the whole, stock seems to be less scarce in tho market thou Will anticipated. . . It must also be borne in mind that on the 22nd inst., when an instalment of 15 per cent. is to be paid on the loan, a new creation of Comas to ate amount a/ 2,400,0001. wM take place. Money was rather more wanted in the Stock Exchange, but commanded only 2to 21 per cent. on government securities. The ofß cial business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols for money, 891, 88,1, 89, 881, 881 ; ditto for account, 10th May, 891, 881, 881, 88.1. Three per Cents. Reduced, 88, 871. New Three per Cents., 881, 88, 88t.

To-day was settling day in the omnium, which was quoted in the morning to 1 prem., and after being sold as low as 1 prem., closed at prem. ex actly. The" contango " ruled at 1-32 to 1-16 per cent. The foreign stock market was quiet. The arrival was to-day announced of the following vessels from Australia, consequent upon the change of wind, viz.: the Anglesey, from Melbourne, with 37,121 cz. of gold; the Constance, from Melbourne, with 17,584 oz. of gold, and 3001. in specie; het Majesty's brig Lily, from Melbourne, with 13,000 oz.; and the Anne Forster, from Adelaide. This last named vessel is believed to have no gold on freight.
