The Marquis of NORMANBY postponed his motion for as address for copies of the correspondence bete cca his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland and her Majesty's government on the subject of the contract with the Atlantis Royal Mail Steam Packet Company. OFFICERS OF RESERVE (ROYAL NAVY) BILL. The Duke of SOMERSET, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he should state very shortly the na ture of the provisions of the bill. It bad nothing whatever to do with the present naval reveres. bet was calculated to encourage a better system of promo tion than that now existing. It had been long felt very desirable not to increase the number of lieutenants on the hallimy list, because in time of peace there was no empty meet for them, and in time of war they were gener all y found too old for active service. In order to illustrate the disadvantages of such a system he need only refer to i= able paper on the condition of the Euglish and k navy, written by a person in authority in which he attributes the great advantages of the En glis h over Me French navy to the comparatively small num ber of Bente. muftis on the retired list. In the French navy there way 110 captains and 610 lieutenants in that position, and pro• motion was therefore much slower than in the I:itglish. Nevertheless any noble lord who wished to look over the Nary List would at once see that in the event of a mem they would be compelled to bring in officers to fill the malt of masters and mates from the merchant Nerviest. That question for some time had occupied the attention ed the Admiralty, and what the present bill proposed to was to allow them to enrol a certain number of men an ' masters and mates from the merchant service, provided they produced the proper certificate's under the Merchant Shipping Act of 18.51, and had commanded merchnntinee on long voyages. The latter qualification would mimed, fit them for the navy. Many proposals to eater the service had been made by officers themselves in the mercantile marine who expressed a willingness to ?earn gift eery and be drilled in manual exercises. He believed that • measure of this description would be of great benefits the public 'orrice, and was calculated to remove the jealousy now existing between the two services. All de bill intended to do was to authorise the Admiralty to sedan ' such persons, because at present they had no such power. In time of war they would be of the greatest available ger vioe, and when peace arrived, constitute an excellent wog reserve of WOll4llSCipliDOll men. (Rear.) The Earl of HARDWICKE objected that whilst the lift would inflict hardship upon o ffi cers in the navy, it was last likely to be popular with the merchant !service. The Earl of hi ALMESBURY did not altogether object the principle of the bill, but thought it ought to be teamed until an emergency arose. Earl GREY supported the bill, and observed that would be moat unionise on the part of the government be defer until the emergency arose the steps which might be ° to meet it. sr:lordships then divided : Contents rift Non-oontent• 5O-4 The bill was accordingly read • second time COMBINATION OF PARISHES DISSOLUTIOX (SCOTLAND) BILL.

The Earl of CARNAIVION rose to call the attention ell her Majesty's government to the death of the Druio chid Said Bey in prison at Beyrout, end to iminire the dominos arrived at with regard to the other Draw prisoners. Lord STRATFORD de REIXJLIFFE said It a vpea el to him that the noble lord who had just sat down I very satisfactory reasons for call' attention to wa iv in g ; recently occurred in Syria. Whether the entente. sate object of his remarks perished by poison Of from natural causes be thought their present lye. ranee would not justify them in pronouncing as opinion upon, but it was not necessary to suppose any inter. vention of violence to explain the muse of death, for, as any one who had been in the East must know, the polities of Turkish prisoners was very much what the poetise of prisoners was some years ago in moot parts d Europe. and to a certain degree in this rouser''. flap. Crto him a very just remark of hie noble friend tki• Bey having been considered as not fairly subject to the imputations cast upon him—though principally from want of evidence—yet as the circumstances were such as to lades the interference of her Majesty'. Oommiasioner with*" approval of the government at home, it was very mesh to be lamented that the Turkish anthorities, of their sere accord, did not feel it their duty to relieve hise• from the position in which he was placed. la was imposdble not to admit that the death lie has unfortunately suffered was enesequent upon negligence. and the house would listen with interest to any esplaustiss from the proper authoritiee of the steps that were token fens his release. He bad a question to put to the noble lord d a very different character, but still one that bore upon the affairs of Syria. He saw by the newspapers that day the. by telegram from Constantinople it was announced that* decision had been taken upon the proposition of the Freak ambassador, that Bps should henceforth be governed by • Christian chief. It was a matter of rat interest to lase. first, whether the report was true ; if so, what was thecae. meter of the officer by whom this important trust was to be held ; and also whether kite government was confined to Beyioet, or aLtendea all over Syria. Lord WODEHOUSE said he quite agreed with his noble friend opposite in deep regret at the melancholy end of the Drtuse chief, Said Bey, and at the circumstance+. under which be died ; and if his noble friend had been right in snipe= , that a positive guarantee of safety bail been given to Boy and the other Druse chiefs, in the event of their Nor. I rendering to take their trial, he shonl+l certoinly feel that a heavy responsibility rested upon her Majesty's governs. meat. (Hear, hear.) But so far from that being the cue, his noble friend would find upon referring to the bluebook on the table that Lord Duffed* gave the most positive and decisive refusal to give this guarantee. In 184$, a despatch was sent by Lord Duffels to Sir H. Rulwer, stating that repeated applications had been made for a guarantee both to Lord Dufferin and Oa Mr. Mons, and that they had both agreed in giving their abeolute refusal to make such a pledge. [The noble lee. read the extract.] Whilst hie noble friend, Lord Duffed% acted with the greatest diecretiou throughout this mattek be certainly took abundant means of guanliug the Draft chiefs against its being supposed that he took upon Lima any responsibility of this kind. He (Lord Wedeboon* was certain his noble friend omitted nothing which be could do both to secure a fair trial for the accused, and. to provide safety for their persona Hill noble friend kat *eked him as to the causes of Said Bey's death ' • and with regard to those rumours to which his noble friend lure alluded of the chiefs death having taken place by fen. means, he (Lord Wodehouse) was glad to here thin mime tunity of assuring his noble friend that Maid Bey diedj natural death of pulmonary consumption. (Hear, test. With regard to the other Douse prisoner+, he at say be thought it was oot creditable to the Turkish OWNS. mrnt that no deciaiou whatever had vet been arrived'. with regent to them. (Hear, hear.) The matter h. d hese left for the decision of the Sultan, and whilst lie (Ler4ll Wedebouse) had every reason to believe that that +leek.* would be a fair one, and would display the clemen. y of the Sultan, he must add he thought it extremely unfair that the decision should be any looser &hived. (Hear, Isar) With regard to the question which him noble frie nd put to him, whether it was true that her Majesty's veers. meat had consented to the proposition of the Frerch govern. meet that there should he • Christian governor .4 the Lebanon, he (Lord Wodehouae) bad to point out to Me noble friend that that was, in one respect, a minfeeerip. tier of the proposition. His noble friend would hell in the book which had been Intl main the lath many despatches relating to the government of the Lebanas. In the first place, Lord ihiffenn prolio.ril a ...hem° by whistle the whole of Syria obould he ;Awed ender Mehemet an go vernment, with a Christian governor for the Lamm. That plan, however, iuvolving the recomitruetion of the whole government of Syria, was altrenelnued. Afterwarelethe commimionera took into oueeiderition the plan of a sin governor for the Lebanon. That plan was recommended br the rommissiocere. There prevailed, however, a differems of opinion as to whether the Chrietian governor should be a native of the Lebanon or not. Th. refore it wee net the fart that the pmpesal was an ewe*. thin from the French alone. It wee proposed' by the commisaioners generally, an). all he coda my was that thin proposal was under the consideration the commissioners. Conferences between the represent*. tives of the great powers were now being held at Congas. tinople. This proven' was before the commission, an. would be by them discuweil, and some determination must be come to. But as the negotiation was at this moment going on he could not give his noble friend any detailed is. formation on the point. All he could state was that this point of having a Christian governor for the Lebanon wen at thin moment nmler the consideration of the represent*. fives at Conetantinople. As to whether the arrangements for the evacuation of the country were complete, it was obvious that that question was answered by the other, tar since the conference would deliver its opinion urionthe whole 1
