Lard ELCHO wished to ask the First Lord of the Trea sury when the new Order of Merit for Service in the Field would be instituted and distributed ; and whether the delay wee attributable to the neglect of any particular de. pertinent? Lord PALMERSTON said the only cause of delay wee that his noble friend at the head of the War Derailment was anxious to have the precise rules and regulations under which similar orders had bent instituted is foreign countries. The reports on that subject had not yet been received. THE SUMMER CLOTHING FOR THE ARMY. Kr. BERESFORD would be glad to be informed by the Under Secretary of War whether the summer clothing for the troops serving in the Crimea had yet been despatched to the Eat ; sad whether it was tine that t 1 e contract which bad been entered into for the supply of inch light clothing his been made at Vienna and not in the United Kingdom. Mr. PEEL said Lord ' PISMO" gave • commission to a hem is Vilollll to pluthass the quantity of summer elothing required for the nee of the army. That holm was commissioned to purchase t 60,000 ts. pain hadlt of light trousers that and 60,000 pairs of lig fatigue coaported half the order, namely 25,000 of each of those articles, had been shipped at Trieste for the commissariat department at Constantinople, and that the remainder of the order would be swatted by the end of last month; so that no doubt by this time the whole supply was in store at Con stantinople' and available whenever Lord Raglan might give onteesfor its removal. THE PAY OF THE MILITIA. la reel y to a quest= from Col. CAUIXIILD. Mr. F. PEEL said the advantage of the present arrange ment with regard to the pay of the militia was, that as a militia man rushed se. at the end of each quarter, the go vernment got the benefit of his Ilerriele for the quarter in the event of his enlisting into the regular army. He was afraid that if they were to situ the present arrangement and pay the pound in advance, he would enlist again into the regular army and they wand lose his services for the remainder of Lie period. THE IRISH JUDGES. Mr. H. BRUCE begged to ask the Chief Secretary for Indeed, whether he was aware that a large proportion of the Irish judges were incapacitated by age or other infirmi ties for the full and regular discharge of their duties, and, if so, whether the government intended to apply any and what remedy. Mr. HORSMAN said the only official knowledge which he had of the matter was that some of the Judges who were unable to go circuit were provided with substitutes, who were paid oat of the consolidated fund. The subject bad been, and was still, under the consideration of the govern ment. (Laughter.) Mr. BRIGHT asked the right hon. gentleman if be would turn his attunes to what was said on the subject in the report of the Official Salaries Committee before any new judges were appointed in Ireland. Mr. HORSMAN intimated that he would do so. PAY OF SOLDIERS RETURNED FROM THE CRIMEA. er golf hem his missed fee five yeas, without less ad musk er , pesseefign.

(Hear, hear.)

The noble lord had not informed the house how the OM miseartat department was to be administered. It was one of peat importance. He apprehended that, at present, that department consisted only of tee noble lord himself, and of the chief clerk, who had acted under flit C. Trevellyan. There appeared to him to be great difficulty about the pro posed arrangements, bat he wanted to know to what extent the real responsibility of the officer, whoever he might be, wes to go. (Hear.) There was inch a thing as technical respeasibility, which was something different from real re sponsibility. A very conscientious man placed at the head o the comothetaziat department would think it necessary to look into every detail of that department. If the man who did that we also required to look into all the details of the . office of Secestary at War and the Board of Ordnance, it was perfectly impoodble that he could perform those duties satis fy:gorily. He hoped the noble lord would place on tho table of the house a memorandum showing, at ono view, the whole of the alterations which it was intended to wary into effect. earl OBEY quite concurred in the desirableness of having such a memorandum. He would not then eater into the subject, oinking it quite impossible for any of their lordships to understand the scheme, which was one of considerable complication, without having it before them in much greater detail, sad on paper. Thaw' of BLLENBOROU O 3II wished to know what the noble lord the Minister of War intended to be the relations between the Transport Board and his own office. Lord KONTEAGLE said it was most essential to cos eider the financial position in which the army would be placed, especially in relation to the commiaeariat, in its duty of supplying the milieu,. chest. The Earl of HARD WICHE said it was an acknowledged pelaciple that the sole conduct and responsibility of military affairs should be plead in the hands of cue man. It was proposed now to bring the'ordneace and all other departments andel the control of the War Minister ; and he contended that the Transport Board ought also to be under his control. Lord PANMURE said he had already stated that the explanations he had then to give distinctly applied te the administration of the ordnance. He bad aloe stated that then were other departments which required alteration, and which would likewise be dralt with,—ons of which was thessmoissariat. The noble earl (Ellenborough) had said dat the business of that department was now conducted by bind! (Lord Pawners) and one clerk. That gentleman MS every able officer. Re was not sure that it Wiht not be suserry to divide the duties of the board ; bet this would sot be done without ample consideration, is that what was done might be for the advantage if the public service.

It concludes as follows : " . This tillable combat, of which I have just given you the details, characterises, in the happiest and in the most honourable manner, the qualities of intrepidity and ardour that distinguish our troops. Never have they given —on a limited theatre, it is true, but where the drama of war is displayed in the most striking points—greater proofs of con. rage and daring. This success has enabled us to &dream 160 metres at one bound towards the Central Bastion, sad las had en immense moral effect upon the two armies. " ' The health of the army is excellent. " . The army is superb—of unrivalled energy. Its equip. neat is perfect —it stands in need of nothing.' " A SHORT METHOD WITH THE RUSSIANS. EVERT third man you meet now-a-days either has himself, or is excited about a friend who has, some great invention in knapsack', bullets, guns, "hells, or other more powerful engines of war. All the world is set upon destroying Russians, and the more ardent and inventive of these destroyers have plane for blowing Sebastopols or Cronstadts off the earth or out of the water with little cost and no loss of life to ourselves, but the wholesale dispersion into speed the Muscovites and Muscovy. Of these inventor , of portable Vesuvivass Captain WARNER was an eminent example, Lord DUNDONALD is use, sad an eccentric Apostle of universal peace and goodwill promises to be another. We mean Mr. Roust OWEN, who at the close of a meeting the other day for inaugurating a universal social millennium pro. dated drawings and plans of his Devastator, an ss• ilas of the Vesuvian nature above referred to. This esatrivance would seem to owe its origin to ths brains of • peace Apostle with about the same pre priety as the elastic rod loaded at both ends is called a " life preserver." Everybody, i. e. every English man—except the twenty Bright men of the Mancha* school, and some few infatuated oligarchs—wilha to destroy the Russian power. Now, some ma are perfectly convinced that they have iambi engine; which would do this work—if they tea only get money and other facilities for bringing thin inventions into operation. Here, then, we bate supply and demand. A few persons have—for short• nese, we will say—Vesuvinsee to sell: everybod/ wishes that &Vesuvius should be employed, if a rod one can be found. The only agent of everybody is the Government, and in war the Government is the only prime dealer. Therefore in the end the case Mende thus : the Government wants a Vesuvius, and Lord DIINDONALD offers one. The Government cannot buy a pig in a poke ; how, and at whose expense, LI the reality or genuineness of the Vesuvius to to tested? -- - The ordinary, and upon the whole by far the bats method in which the Government deals with an in. ventor, is to grant him the sole right to manufacture his invention for a certain number of years upon the condition that he so fully describes it that at the end of that time it may be freely enjoyed by the public; the inventor himself being in the mean time at the cost and labour—severe enough in most crier-of bringing it into use. If the particular invention is of a nature to be used by the public generally, do inventor does his best to get some trade manufacturer, or engineer, to take it fl? And a very difficult task he has before him. It is do fashion to talk of the enterprise of engineers and manufacturers; and no doubt very enterprising WAY are, in any matters that tend to add to their own re. nown or wealth; but they, like the rest of this wok - a•day world, are too busy to investigate th e merit ! of anything that does not immediately concern their own particular specialit4.
