But last year an set was pied which rendered it impossible to have 7r keel European army in India, and a proviso was introduced into that a:t that the same or an equal provision should be made for the eons of persons who had served in India. Now, there being only one army in India, it was of course im possible to make the same provision for such persona. sad what w equal provision could be made for them he did nut 'wo. ' FAA DB =BY said that it was the Intention of the government to carry out the act of parliament, not only to the letter, but in spirit, but as the arrangements for that purpose . were not finally determined upon, he we' not at present in a condition to do more than to assure the noble earl that when such arrangements were made known, as they would be before long, they would secure to the pey. sone to whom the noble earl alluded the advantages con templated by the set of parliament. CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICE AMENDMENT BILL. _ Oa the motion of Laid Br. LIONAADM, duo bill woo Ned a wood time. THE METROPOLITAN BOARD AND ST.

Witt formed one of the payments as spinet the receipts in such account. Earl GRANVILLE mid he had received a letter on the subject from the chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works asserting the accuracy of the accounts, and object ing to their being reopened for past years. Still he bad no objection to the return Wog made, Lord MONTEAGLE considered that the board adminis tered large funds with very insufficient responsibility : The house bad a right to call for those returns in the same way as they did from counties awl boroughs. With the high opinion which be entertained of Mr. Leslie, of St. George's, he was disposed to accede to the inquiry. One of the first acts of the new communion had been to enter into arrangements for the purchase of Boric.!epitome, at a great e: nee, out of moneys raised by public taxation. The Earl of ST. GERMANS said the matter bad been fully inquired into by the vestry id St. George's, and also by a committee of the Ideti Ipo ten Board ; and they were unanimously of opinion that Mr. Leslie's charges had not been established. He saw no objection to the board being called upon for the accounts. The return was ordered.

Mr. DAVIii6I 7 I - ga -- ;enCSICO — t:1;i:1;;;;;;Id on Friday, 22nd instant, call the attention of the Chief Secretary of Ireland to the number of resignations which have taken place in the constabulary force during the last tea years, and to the many new and arduous duties which have been imposed upon the men without any corresponding increame of pay or emoluments, and to inquire iCany aalteration was in contemplation. THE BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. Sir J. PAKINOTON said le had to request the indul gence of the house while he made an explanation of • matter between another bon. member and himself, with reference to the notice of motion which he (Sir J. Pakington) had given for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the administration of the navy. On Friday evening be spoke to his noble friend the Secretary of the Admiralty upon thin subject, and asked that if it were possible Sir B. Walker might not be ordered to leave England prior to giving evidence before the committee.. That led to a conversation, in which it was stated that it was the intention of the hon. and gallant admiral the member for the East Riding (Admiral Duncombe) to renew the motion which he made last year upon this subject, and that be not only enter tained that intention, but that he had been in communica tion with the Admiralty upon it, and that the Admiralty had stated that they would not object to the motion. In deed the matter had gone so far that some of the members of the committee had been fixed upon. lie (Sir J. Poking. too) had not the least knowledge of any of these eircum• stances when he gave noties of his motion. The hon. and pithirat admiral bad not been in the home this session, and he did not know he was about to take up this vast subject. He (Sir J. Pakington) had written to an hon, friend, who had negotiated between the hon. and gallant admiral and the Admiralty, and had explained to him that bedid not vriah to do anything which might appear discourteous or unfair towards the hon, and gallant admiral. If the committee were ted, audit the investigation were complete and im it could maks vety lit tle difference tothe house and the country who made the motion for its appointment. It should at the same time be observed that he did not shrink in any way from the performance of • duty which he had under taken. Not only would the investigation be important, but it must, of necessity, be both complicated and protracted, and therefore he would express a hope that no further time should be lost in bringing the matter before the hones, and is obtaining the appointment of the committee. (Hear.) RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. General UPTON asked the President of the Board of Trade if he wowidinform globous° whether the railway corn. panics el the United Kingdom were careful that the best malleable iron should be used invariably in the construction of the wheels, tires, and axles of the carriage', trucks, and locomotives o their respective lines. Mr. M. GIBSON said the railway department of the Board of Trade had it not in their power to give the infor mation which the hon. and gallant member required. The department, of clown, knew the general description of iron which was in use, and Captain Tyler had made an elaborate report of the description o! iron used in levers] accidents whirl bad occurred. That report would contain all the isfernintion which the railway department of the Board of Trade bad it in their power to give, and it would shortly be Lid en the table of the house. THE RED SEA TELEGRAPH CABLE. General UPTON asked the Secretary to the Treasury if all Mane were taken by the official director of electric telegraph companies. himself one of the ex officio directors of the Red Sea Telegraph Company, to immure complete and usinterupted insulation in the Red Sr teleureph cable by an efficient end continuous testing of the cable during the proems of its manufacture, as empowered by the agremseat entered into with the contractors. Chairman's letter of the 28th day of September, 1858. Mr. P. PEEL said he had been informed by the official director that all proper and efficient measures were taken for testiog the cable throughout the whole course of its manufacture, and the company had a servant of their own on the premises of the contractors, who was exclusively engaged in the operation of testing the cable. BELLIGERENTS' RIGHTS AT SEA. Mr. HORSFALL asked the SeevenuTof State for Foreign Affairs whether any step had been Won by her Majesty. government with the view of carrying out the recommenda tions of the Whipping committee of last year on the subject at belligerent rights at sea. Lord J. RUSSELL said no steps had been taken by her Majesty's government with a v i ew of carrying oat the re commendations of the committee of last year on the subject of belligerent rights at sea. Perhaps the house would allow him to date the reasons why he had not taken any such steps. He found that when the matter was tinder the discussion of the conference at Paris, the opinion of Lord Churendos was unfavourable to the propcsal that privets y at sea should b respected a s daring war.

Peel of Ozford street. Mr. Coles, the secretary, read the report of the committee, which stated that the short period of five months during which the society had been in REM. teas had been one of pest depression in the leather trade, but that eotwithstaudieg the com mittee had every reason to be satisfied and encouraged with the present results, whilst they anticipated a steady and incresaing support in totem. The committee were fully satisfied that • society of the kind was much needed, and calculated to confer peat and important benefits, and they therefore confidently appealed for the support of all con fleetest with the trade, and to others charitably disposed willing to aid in a work of true benevolence. The donations already subscribed amounted to 105/. 165., and the sub scriptions to 1131.

That opened a still wider question, and his answer to that despatch was simply that as the war had ceased, and the treaty of Paris ratified, it would oat be advisable to continue the discinsion. With regard to the proposition itself, it was one of the utmost magnitude, sod it was in effect this:—That where there were two powers, one with a strung army and • weak miry, and the other power with= army inferior in numbers and a superior navy, the latterpowersbould forego all its ad vantage and leave the contest to be decided by this army. (Haar, bear.) It was besides a mode in which a war would be more prolonged than it was at present, because the only way in which a great maritime power could act as • belligerent was by crippling the power of its oppo nent, and in proportion to the greatness of its maritime strength was the chance of bringing the war to a termina tion. (Hear, hear.) But If thin proposition be accepted, that power would be given up which Great Britain poo ls the next plaos, he was persuaded that difficul ties in details would arise which would prove insurmounta ble.

B. to ask whether the noble lord was in order in going tto this difficult and important subject, in answer to a question by an hon. member, while other hon. members would have no oppor tunity of stating their views upon it, and which might be different to those of the noble lord. The SPEAKER said It ties nasal for the house to give to ministers of the crown an opportunity of stating, in an swering questions of thatnature, their reasons for the course they had adopted. The noble lord was explaining to the house some reasons why he had not acted in the way which the question of the boo, member pointed out—(bear, hear) —and the house would consider whether the noble lord had transgressed the limits allowed on such an occasion. Lord J. RUSSELL said a select committee of that house had made some recommendations in very positive terms, end it might be thought that it was his duty to act upim theme recommendations, and he was venturing to explain why he did not consider that it would be prudent to take any steps in the matter. He would not go further into the argument except to say that the question was one which affected the whole maritime power of this country, and any minister of the crown ought to be most cautious before be took further steps in respect to it. (Hear.) BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (SALARIES, STAMPS, Ice.) The boom went into committee for the purpose of agree ing to certain resolutions on which to found a bill for the of making payment of salaries to officers of the purpose Bankruptcy, and for authorising fees to be col lected by means of itempe. kc. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked whether, in any of the resolutions, compel:Nation was to be granted to any of the present officers of the oourt The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he hod carefully ab stained from charging the consolidated fond with any sum of money for compensations. These resolutions referred entirely to the salaries of the officers, and to the stamps to be affixed to the proceedings and business of the court. The resolutions were agreed to, and ordered to be re ported to the house. THE BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The house wept into committee on this bill. The clause relating to the salaries of the chief judge and his secretary, sud some others which came within the cate gory of money clauses," were postponed for future con sideration. • On the 42nd clause, which provided for the payment of compensations to the holders of abolished offices, including that of patentee of bankrupts, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY objected to the clause that it entailed another charge on the consolidated fund. He con tended that the miscellaneous estimates were already heavy enough, and that these compcirottions ought to be borne by the fund upon which the retiring annuities had hitherto been chargeable. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL defended tho clause • and after some discussion, in which Mr. Henley, Mr. B arrow, and Mr. Matins took pert, a division was taken, which re sulted in the affirmation of the clause by 78 to 28. The CHAIRMAN then reoorted progress. THE PAROCHIAL ASSZBEIHENTS BILL. Sir G. O. LEWIS moved the wood reading of the Parochial Assessments Bill, and the motion was agreed to, upon the understanding that time should he given for full consideration of the bill in the event of the bowie deciding on a future day not to refer it in the first instance to a select committee. HIGHWAYS BILL. Upon the order of the day second reading of this hill, Sir G. C. LEWIS moved that the second reading be post poned until Thursday amt. Mr. DISRAELI said that many objections had been made at different times in the house as to bringing forward motions in committee of supply. It was a privilege of the and the result of its exercise was, that the r e M ili etre: k never what business was coming on. lie wished to call their attention to the mode in which the business of the house was conducted. He bad come down to-night for the of considering the Highways Bill. That nr e Z IM P :the notice paper, end yet nobody had pro ceeded with it. It certainly ought to have been with, or if not, the minister responsible for the t r irl e L ed gt to have given some moon why it was not proceeded with. The nest notice on the paper was the Post-office Savings Banks Bill, and he knew many boo, members who came down expressly to deliver their opinions on it, but that bill was also passed over in silence. and the minister gave no reason why it was not proceeded with. They next came to number 3, which was certainly proceeded with, but only to a certain point. The respon sible minister said he believed that after a certain donee they should not proceed with it, end what was the conse quence ? Why at a comparatively early hour there was no government business before the house. With regard to the Highways Bill, the minister not being present when it was called on, it was placed after the other orders. It was now called, the minister being present, but he did not coo descend to give any reason for postponing it. He wished to know what prospect there was of the government conducting public basinees with satisfaction to the house and to the country if this course were followed and hon. members were to be treated in this manner. When they come down there and found the pro. gramme not realised in any respect, the only conclusion he could draw was that this, if not the only came, was cer tainly one great cause of the delay of business. He thought some explanation was due to the house in this respect. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he was sorry that any inconveni ence should have been caused by the circumstance referred to. He thought be could give a satisfactory explanation. He bad wished to move the second reeding of the High. ways Bill that evening ; but the hon. member for Leomin ster had asked him on Friday evening to postpone the bill, in consequence of the short time that it bad been in the hands of members. This he (Sir George) consented to do, and said that he would mention on Monday the day to which he would purapone the order for the second reading. Otherwise he should have moved the postponement on Friday night. But he had stated distinctly on Friday night that the second reading would not now be moved, but that he should postpone the order. Therefore, as far as he was concerned, there was no irregularity in allowing the order to stand. With reference to the Post offias Savings Banks Bill, he believed that his friend the Chanoellor of the Exchequer was confined to his room by it ness, and that it was not in his power to attend the home. (Hear, hear.) But it was wished that the Bank ✓eptcy Bill should have precedence that night; and be cerisi m : i ty was under the impression that the Attorney- ' o had stated on a former evening that he would not promised beyond the Toth clause that night. From the time which the consideration of the bill had occupied last sm. lion, he had probably thought that 50 clauses would be enough to occupy the house all the evening. He was al ways sorry when there was any want of notice to Inemben of the house ; but he trusted they would perceive that there bad been no intentional omission in this case. Mr. BARROW said that members but greet reason to complain of the postponement of the Highways Bill till Thanday, when the other measures in the paper would pre vent le man es. Ott G. 0. LEWIS said the Bankruptcy Bill might occupy the whole of that evening. If not, the government might be reproached for not providing the house with sufficient business. He would fix the Highways Bill for Friday night. Mr. HENLEY also complained of bills being pieced at the heed of the paper and then postponed. The second reading of the hill was then fixed for Friday. PUBLIC PETITIONS. Mr. OREGSON moved the a pp ointment of • select com mittee to whom shall be referred all petitions presented to the house, with the exception of such as complain of undue reams, or relate to private bills ; and that such committee do classify and prows abstracts of the same, in such form and manner as shall appear to them best suited to convey to the hones all requisite informant' respecting their con tents, and do report the same from time to time to the hones ; and that each reports do in all oases set forth the ineher of signatures to each petition : sad that such mow althea have power to direct the priuting in extenso of sash petitions, or of each parte of petitions, as shall appear to require it ; and that each committee have power to report their opinions sad alworwatkaa thereupon to the house : Mr. *apes, Mr. Bonham-Carter.

The house then adjourned at 5 minutes to 11 o'clock. TH.II PAROCHIAL ASBESSMBNTS BILL. Yesterday a committee of the representative council of the parish of St. Marylebone met at the Court house, Marylebonolane, to take into consideration the bill now before parliament, which proposes to amend the law relating to parochial assessments in England. Mr. EDWARD HODORS was unanimously called to the chair, and stated the objects of the bill, which he' warmly outdenused as as uncalled-for interference with the met pries* of kcal self-government. lie dwelt upon tbe power of appal it a ff orded to any person who might feel aggrieved by eAlkwas or Incorrecenest in the valuation of property, which appeared to him to be totally insufficient and unequal to the appeal granted under the present ar rangement. Mr. Film= said the strongest objection he had to the bill mason account of clause 4, because it gave umilledlor power to justices of the peace for every county to appoint any number of such justices, of not less than 5 nor more than 11, to be "'the Assessment Board," and three to form a quorum. Nothing could be more just than their present ratio and power of appeal, and if this bill were to pass they woulsys immediately appointed an immense staff of *Eters and clerks in various degrees, house agents, valuers, imslotbent r to form a moat objectionable inquisitorial body. This part of the bill made it so detrimental to local self-government that, without going Into the bill any further, he should move " That thceParochial Assessments Bill introduced by the government is most objectionable, both in principle and detail • totally destroying the government by the local an • thorities of their own affairs, and transferring the power tit an irresponsible body of making assessments in the different localities; the law now providing a complete remedy for all parties aggrieved by the present mode of amessmants, the measure is altogether unnecessary, and this meeting moons mend the vestry to petition against the bill, and to offer the most strenuous opposition thereto?' !Hear, bear.) Mr. WINGFIELD secondedthe resolution. _ _ _ The VESTRY CLERK read communications he bad received from the parishes of Camberwell, St. Mary Newington, and Liverpool, areuly denonocing the bilL Mr. TAY/2.a supported the resolution. Last year it was a bill for equalisation of rules for the poor, but policy bad induced the government to keep that question , oat of might, although that would be its ultimate result'. It war • step in direct opposition to local self-government and the interlude of the ratepaying public, as the magistrates were irresponsible men, and much more interested in a high than • low rectal. (Rear.) The bill afforded no proper redress is case of injustice, and all interested in local self•govern moot should make an energetic stand against it. Mr. IYlrrAuoan, jun., was in possession of facts showing that in many pariahs& the parochial assessment was 50 per cent. under the property tax assuaturnt, and therefore did not bear comparison with the high rating of Marylebone and some other weetusil parishes ; and when they made a ery about equalisation of poor rates, they seemed to forget Una great difference of rating. (" Hear," and applause.) All the parishes on the south aide of the Thames had their °Denby rate too low. Ile had no doubt the public generally would esrry on the opposition they bad by that meeting initiated against a bill which must operate badly and most unjustly, particularly upon the female ratepayers, a large number of whom were in every parish. Mr. NICROLAY warmly denounced the bill, which, be said, was totally unnecessery, inasmuch as the ratepayers at present were fully satisfied with the local government in the matter of asseumeata, without any such officious ministerial interference as was now sought. Several other gentlemen having warmly supported the resolution, it was put to the meeting and carried unani mously ; and it was resolved to communicate it to the mem bers for the borough, with a request for their • co-operation in au opposition to the measure. It was she agreed to in vite the cooperation of the various metropolitan parishes in opposition to the bill. THE ENFRANCHISEMENT OF BIRKENHEAD. Yesterday morning a highly-influential meeting of the Lading merchants in the Birkenhead district was held at the Woodside Hotel, for the purpose of receiving the deputation appointed to wait upon Mr. John Laird, to ascertain his views with regard to coming forward as a can didate, is the event of the measure introduced by the go vernment pining into a law. The gentlemen forming the deputation, consisting of James Beasley, P. IL Dove, Edwatd Thompson, B. Derbyshire, J. Aspinail,. and W. Hadfield, Fags. having yesterday morning waited upon J. Laird, Esq.:attended the meeting at the above hotel, at half-part IMO o'clock, when J. BLABLET, Esq.. VAS requested to preside, in the absence of Mr. 8. Ledward, who was from home. The CHSIBILDI said, in compliance with the request ex at the prehminary meeting, held on Friday evening, J. Aspics Mr. Derbyshire, and the other gentlemen, waited upon Mr. Laird that morning, for the purpose of bearing what that gentleman's sentiments really were on the most popular subjects of the day. This was done in consequence of some gentlemen having expressed a desire to know what Mr. Land's political feelings were—whether he was a bigoted conservative or moderate in his political sentiments, and would support measures not men. As he bad just stated, they waited upon Mr. eaird that morning, and be had expo:weed his views brieflyon the most important topics that were agitating the public mind. The first subject to which be alluded was the church rates, that they all knew had been much discussed in that township. It was a vexed question, and Mr. Laird was of opinion that it was one that should be settled on some permanent bails. (Hear, bear.) He should like to ho a little more read up before giving a decided opinion, but as a general principle, he wished that protestant dissenters should enjoy every toleration, and he was most decidedly opposed to their being celled upon to pay for the support of a church which they did not. attend. (Hear, beer.) In reference to foreign politics, Mr. Laird expresse d !aimed(' decidedly in favour of non-intervention, and on that he would give his support to Lord Palmerston's government. (timers.) Next, with re to the army end navy. )Ir. Laird was strongly in favour of reducing the expenditure of both those depart mental; but he wished it to be distinctly understood not so as to impair the efficiency of the country to repel any foreign foe. (Cheers.) Hs (Mr. Lard) looked upon the volunteer movement as a great means for making these reductions with regard to the army and navy. He (the chairman) thought they could not find a moreefficient man to represent them than Mr. Laird.
