The Dabs of RICHMOND wished to riell the ablation ends Bob's triad the Saretasy for War to a subject of whisk he had gives him notice. His had observed fa the newspapers advertisements calling on sechitects to send is plan for sew banacks, which were about to be erected in diffuse% parts of the errantry, and he wished to all the attention of Womble friend tea matter of great import aim, and to lapin whether in the erection of sow barracks else care would be taken to hays wants bsildtgs be married soldiers, their wives and children ? Mein sash be more degrading to hum nature this that manied ma and their wives should be sleeping in the same ZOOM with • number of soldien. He had been always lei le believe that decency and propriety were the most impothest outworks of chastity, and it was impossible to impost that wastes who witnessed such scenes as mast mar in a Swath room meld be otherwise than demoralised. Ho wished to sell atteatioa to a plea with tepid to this matter which had been eseeessfully tried. Is 1852, Colonel Alszader, (lithe Mares army, was examined before the committee of their lesdakilpe house which oat use Indian affairs, and he slated that in the Madras army the practice of married men and their wives living is the man building with the rest of the men had bees abeadoned, sad that both the regiments mad the women belonging to them bad been greatly im pend by the adoption of that course. He conceived it was hardly mommary for him to call the attention of his noble 'dead to this subject. Though mach had bees dose to improve the audition of the soldier by means of schools and reading rooms, the cultivation of athletic exercises, and the distribution of medals and gra tuities for good conduct, yet much remained to be dose. He did not see why a soldier in her Majesty's *orrice should set be ma well off as a pauper in a workhouse, who bad a dormitory is which he neither ate nor slept, bat had a day them, whereas the soldier too often, in barracks in this thostry, was compelled to oak and at is the room in which be slept ; and then was so comfort for him in his barrack room. He believed the experiment of day-rooms had been broad most bessficial in the patients:racks is Leaden. In stead of the soldier havieg a room where he might go, with a ire, by which he might road the papas or perioleals, mad prepare his hot cocoa or soles, yes sow drove the young soldier from his cheerless barraek-roam, where so little feel was allowed, to the beenhop in the low public-bow, where be began Wee habits of drunken nem, which were the space of all the crimes the soldier committed. Ws talked of our gratitude to the brays men who wore fighting is the Crimea, bet he wanted gratitude expressed mere is deeds than in words. In the first place take can of those whom the soldier loved, and then endea vour to elevate his character by giving him respectable halite; and if that was doss the country would look favourably on the soldier, and respect him as mach for his conduct in quarters as they did for his heroic gallantry in the field. He wished to ask his noble friend if say plan each übe had sketched was to be carried oat in the erection of new barracks ? He treated also that he might be allowed to ask if the recruiting for has Majesty's forces was pis( ea is a mitigatory manner, for though he for one sever had, or should have, a doubt of the success of the British army in say undertskieg in which they were imaged, yet he should be glad to be informed whether the gevernmeat bad taken seriously into their consideration the theelets necessity at the present moment of patting into the ranks of the army, not merely children of 17 or 18 years di, bat young men with more formed eonstitutioak who, theses they never could be beaver than those who were now is the Crimean army, would have more standee to enable them to undergo the fatigues sad hardships which were inseparable from every war. Lord PANMURE said that in answering the questions pat to him by his noble friend, he would fa the first place state his satire conviction that the questions were pat is so spirit of hostility to the goventasest, bemuse the con duct of the noble dike with reformat to military subjects in Statham, for a very long period, fully proved that he would be the last person In be acteated by such natives. It was quite tree, as had been stated by his noble friend, and it mast be satisfactory to all concerned in the welfare of the British army, that there had bees not simply a tendency in the public mind, bet the seta of the Room of Commas had tended to improve the condition of the soldier. Every one who had been Secretary at War for years past, to whatever party they belonged, had vied with each other in their efforts to raise the military character to each a point as to adios respectable perms to mead their children into the army. Bet although there had bees W establishment of schools and libraries, and in grained mesas for spiritual 'nitration had been af forded, and the temptations of amass' had been removed, still he admitted with his noble friend that mesh remised to be done for the comfort of the soldier. No one said have heard the description of his noble friend, of the condition of women living is beressirs, without seeing bow degrading such a system most be, width exposes them to witness every day the scenes which Geese is a barrack room. With regard to the future ocestracitios of barracks, a eoessittee was sitting to take the matter into cossidera tios, and it had not yet made its report, nor could ke say oat %bat palate they had decided. Bat there were two points which he thought it the day of those who were charged with the question' of the erection of barracks to eassider in their report. Without day yams so barracks could be comfortable, for ',eking sad sad/4 is sleeping-rooms was neither wholesome nor beeranieg. In the next plan, if we were to has married men is hernias, there should be selomamisdea set slide he them. At the sums time he thief' to ape the army without women attached at all. He did not am why soldiers should sot do for thommelvem nosy this. whisk wanes were sow employed to do ; sad ho did ad Ise why young mea who alined should, during the Ime podsd of enlistment of ten years in the legman,' and teetheek the Cavalry, be permitted to marry at all. If dui pesiliss was not granted the effect would probably be that dies would be no privates married, sad all the married ma would be non-eastaissloaed oaken, sad there would be .. difficulty in ludas aesommodation for them. Os the thei question, then, he entirely .sneered with what had MIMI from his noble friend. With regard be lie mead episodes of his nogg* hilted es the smbj•st se Oa *Unlade' gar the army, he had to say that it was impseilia and it would he erns, is him to deny that the eilablibesent was fat below the *Madan' which had been dist by parliament Ho Gould not attribute that to say MOM he the service, be` mass remits were wane( at the sate of 1,000 a week. Bat still the amities had a brought the army up to the number voted by parliameat as seminary for the was ; sad although we were gaining men nay day, yet we were searmarily Weise by the demands of the war great numbers. The goveramsut had at one times, thought that the difficulty might be overcome by iscressing the bounty. Bet in assaltation with his noble friend lathe had of the army and others experienced in the effects of taking the bounty, and its concomitant advantages on the recruiting of the army, he had been dissuaded from taking that step, and In duced to try *nether plan, which was such a novelty in the Queen's meek* that he could not help looking to its b e i ng euocessful. The proposition which he should shortly make, sad the Alen whisk he intended to adopt, was Ibis. In the case of all soldiers engaged in the field of action before the enemy, beginning with the Crimea, he proposed to offer them double pay, that is, that Is. a day should be added to the pay of all men before the enemy. He presumed that this should take place from the time the army entered the Crimes, but he did not propose to pat the additional pay at ones Into the pockets of the men. He thosght that In ordi nary times the pay of the soldier was salleisat. Hilo endue espouses were pieced on him by his eoausaadlng offioar, and the espendintre of the men was earefelly watched, be thought the pay sufficient. Bet he proposed to do this with the 'Raspy : that it should be invested in the savings' basks, sad if a soldier survived sad returned home it boeld be peid to him on his discharge; bat if safortenately he should be killed, or wounded mad peosiesed, the se empulatieas should, in the Met ow, be paid to hit ( ma fly 1101111118 00010 1,1011 of his souls bitted array, be bad to ea , woe; in him to di the standard whit I maid not attribute muse recruits wen still the recruiting • somber voted by I although we 1111,1 • ameasarily loaf' The government ! might be °Term comullation with and others esperi and its cow:omit 'nay, he bad beet dated to try snot Gaittit's 'omit* t suecessful.

Yesterday, the prelates and clergy of the province of Canterbm assembled at Westminster, in pursuance of adjoarmasat from last session. There wu a fall attendance of members, and the proceedings appeared to excite mach interest. 17PPZI. HOITBI. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided ; and there were also present the Bishops of London, Winchester, Oxford, Exeter, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Bath and Wells, Lincoln sad St. Asaph. The Bishop of London brought up a report from a com mittee; appointed last session, pointing out a mode which, with the sanction of the crown, would be both safe ending for removing the anomalies at present existing in the repn eentation of the clergy in the Lower Rouse of Convocation; and declaring that it would at this time be expedient to limit to this point the address to be presented to her Ma jesty, and that they have prepared accordingly the heads of each an address. The Bishop of Lwow moved, and the Bishop of Ox /ODD seconded, the adoption of this report. The Bishop of BT. ABAPII objected to it. He said that the real queston at issue was, whether it should be an acting or enacting, or a merely deliberative body. The real question was, whether members of Convention were to be man ad visers, or whether they were to be a body to whom fall legislative powers were to be entrusted. Ills own opinion was that, as a mer.ly deliberative body, Convocation might be of the greatest use to the church; bat that, if it attempted to usurp legislative functions, the result would be very disastrous. Re believel that Convocation was in au infinitely better position while it deliberated and recommended ; and, under those circumstances, he felt bound to oppose the adoption of the report. The Archbishop of Cagrzannith said that the report which had been presented by the right reverend prelate was in direct opposition to that agreed upon last J uly. It was then decided that it was undesirable to adopt measures for the revival of the active powers of Convocation. The Bishop of OXFORD thought the reasons advanced by the right reverend prelate (the Bishop of St Aleph) unin telligible. No sort of ashen was proposed in the Bishop of Lenden's report. It was simply a proposal that her Majesty should be pleased to sanction such a representation as would tend to the efficiency of Convocation and the benefit of its de liberations. The Archbishop of Canterbury had alluded to the fact that, at the last meeting of Convocati.in, it was agreed to say nothing farther on the revival of its active powen. That was certainly the fact, but cireumstanoes had changed. It was decided not to proceed further with the question then. Last July he (the Ballot. of Orford) pressed upon the house that it would be undesirable then to propose any change in the tonstitivion of Convocation as there were doubts in the mind of the church upon the subject. At the very time he ventured to make that recom mendation to the house, the whole question was before her Majesty's Solicitor•Oeneral, who said that if Convocation would give him time, he would satisfy it as to the means of carrying out what it wished. He said he was ready to give an opinion at once, but that it would be an off hand opinion —worth nothing. The learned gentleman was then of opinion that Convocation ought to go to parliament in order to secure the desired changes, but since that time his opinions had undergone a change, and he was no longer of opinion that it was necessary to go to parliament, as her Majesty's sanction was all that was required. The follow ing was the opinion of Sir Richard Bethel' and Dr. Robert Plifilimors, M.P. Crimes:J.—The writ to the archbishop respecting the assembling of Convocation orders his grace to summon the clergy (Ckrtun),and is silent aa to the manner and mode of their representation. It would seem that the mode of re presentation has varied at different times in different ways, and, among them, by the omission and addition of proctors. Nevertheless, it appears to us that it would not now be , .err competent to Convocation to put a construction upon the word dense, or clergy, 1 so as thereby to enlarge the consti tuency beyond the limits assigned to it by usage without the consent and ratification of the Crown. We are of opinion that it would be competent to Convocation, having obtained the license of the Crown, to discuss the question of the alteration of their represent ative body, and to make a canon enlarging it ; and that such canon, if it subsequently obtained the approbation of the Crown, would be sufficient to eff ct, legally, a new representation of the clergy in Con vocation. is RICHARD BETRILL. RODIRT PHILLIMORIA" On such authority he (the Bishop of Orford) thought Convocation might safely ask the Crown to sanction what it required. They did not want to make a canon, but to frame a constitution. To make a canon would be to affect the state of things without, whereas all they wanted wu to secure a reform within. The Crown had never refused en address from Convocation, and he had no hesitation an saying that if this were refuse d, it would be unconstitutional and with out precedent. Oa a division, there appeared— For the sdoption of the report, 6—the Bishops of London, Oxford, Butter Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, and Bath and Well s. A it, 3—the Bishops of Winchester, Lincoln, and St. Asaph. The motion was therefore declared carried. The following address to her Majesty was then agreed to: —" We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, the archbishop, bishops, and clergy of the province of Canterbury, 'ambled In Convoution,liumbly represent to your Majesty that committees of Convocation have sat, and after careful con sideration have reported to Convocation on various subjects deeply concerning the spiritual welfare of this realm—via. on the measures needful for enforcing discipline amongst the clergy, the extension of the church, the modification of her sees, and the reform of the representation of the clergy in the provincial synod of Canterbury. We are °Pa yload that the hill consideration of these aljects is of great moment to the well-belog of our church ; but, in order that our deliberations on these, or such other matters as your Majesty shall as fit to submit for our consideration, may be se conducted ma to give to the church the tulles; satisfac tion that in them the mind of the clergy will be fairly ex pressed, we humbly submit to your Majesty that the repre sentation of the clergy in the Lower Reuse of Convocation ought to be amended. On consulting very high authorities, we are informed that sash an amendment may lawfully be tarried into effect, if your Majesty shall be pleased to grant layout royal license to consider with a view to agreeing on any such amendments, and than afterwards approve of the same when submitted to your royal consideration. We ven ture, therefore, humbly to pray your Majesty to grant us your royal license to consider of a constitution hereupon; and in order that these deliberations may include the clergy of the northern province, we further pray your Majesty to punt a similar house to the Convocation of the province of York, and to sanction our communicating with that body, I with a view to uniting, under your Majesty's approval, our deliberations hereon." . The Bishop of Oxroso then moved the following resolu tion : " That linos the last meeting of this house, the house having received an opinion of her Majesty's Solicitor- O l and Dr. Hobert Phillimore, pointing out a safe and easy mode, if it should be sanctioned by her Majesty, of emending the representation of the clergy in the Lower House, it appears to this hones that the reasons which led them, at the lest session, to postpone the consideration of this subject no longer exist, sad that they can most effectually °omit for the cause of church extension, by seeking, in the first instance, an amendment of the representation of the clergy is the Lower House of Convocation." The resolution, having been seconded, was agreed to. The Prolocutor was then summoned, and the resolution and address were presented to him, with a request that he would submit them for consideration to the Lower House, and report upon them, if poesible, to-morrow. Their lordships then adjourned. LOW 11017111. The Lower Hoes* assembled in the Jerusalem Chamber at 11 o'clock. After prayers the names of the members were called over by Mr. Burkett, of Doctor'-commons, actuary, when there were present and represented by proxy the following gentlemen: The Deans of Norwich, Ely, Landoll, Christ Church, Canterbury, Exeter, Lincoln, Llandeff, Worcester, St. Asaph, St. David's, Bath and Welle,!Brietel, Gloucester, and Hereford ; the Veoerebles the Archdeacons of Bath,Tauntoo, Bristal, Salop, Coventry, St. Albans, Gloucester, Wells, Gsford, Barnstaple Corn wall, Essen.

Canon Villiers, Canon Hills, Reeds. Biota field, Iteldnbeard, Spencer, Vincent, Dr. M'Call, Rev. J. H. Cox, Hill, &e. The PROLOCUTOR nominated the following gentlemen to act as his assessors: the Dean of No; wick, the D e an of Woreseter, the Venerable the Archdesoon of Nottingham, the Venerable the Archdeacon of St. Albans, Dr. Hume% and the Bev. Chancellor Marten. lßoma iiiiial buiness bavist ban disposed of, The PSOLQOUTOR tea behre the boon the report of the committee on church rates. It recommended that church rates be hessforth limited to charges strictly necessary for asaintainlog the fabric of the church and churchyard in &sent order and repair, and that, in order to enforce the makieg of rates so limited, it should be imperative on the eitarchwardens, within a certain period after their appoint naent,to submit to the vestry an estimate of the expenses to be Sewed in the ensuing year, together with a detailed state ment of the items. That if the vestry refuses to make a rate, or make owe for lose than the churchwardens require, it shall be competent for the churchwardens, or either of tbem, to appeal to the next quarter sessions, who shall have power to make a rate, or to confirm the rate, or to increase the amount thereof to any sum not exceeding the church wardens' estimate. The PROLOCUTOR having bees summoned to the Upper House, on his return read documents reporting the proceed ings of that house in the matter of the address to the Queen. The Rev. Chancellor M•RTIN moved the adoption of the address agreed to by the bishops. The Archdeacon of Taunton was compelled to oppose it. After considerable discussion in support of the original motion and for the amendment, in which about twenty member of Convocation expressed their opinions on the pro priety of admitting the laity into Convocation, it was sug gested that the discussion of the subject should be adjourned till the next session, but The Archdeacon of Hamm, objected to an adjournment, until they had decided what course they intended to adopt. He should vote for the addrese, and he hoped that Convict• lion would carry it, as it would then enable them to do that which they could not at present. By a fuller representation of the clergy they would be enabled to originate many matters of great importance. He certainly was surprised that there had been objections raised to the address. Dr. JILI , most cordially supported the adoption of the Wrest, but at the same time he did not consider himself in say way bound by its statements, but he believed that it vs the best step which could be taken at the preset time, is order that they might put themselves right with the publia Rev. Mr. VINcINT—By asking to be able to reform Con vorattea at the present time, they were admitting that they were not able to do anything before. The Rev. D. Russell, the Archdeacon of Worcester, Dr. Archdeacon Thorp, Archdeacon Denison, and the Archdeacon of Barnstaple, having suggested some slight alterations in the address, I The PRoLocuroa said the opinion of the lawyers did not go wear as to admit the laity. The several amendments were then withdrawn, where upon The Rev. Dr. M'Crar, gave notice that be should move an amendment, when, of. er some farther discussion, the house adjourned without coming to a vote. THIS DAY. The Upper House re-assembled this morning but no basins's was transacted. The Lower House also met, and was engaged the whole of the day debating the Bishop of London's report in favour of an address to the Crown for a revival of the enacting powers of Convocation. Ultimately the report was adopted. ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM. In compliance with a requisition to the church. wardens • meeting of ratepayers was held last night at the vestry-room, St. Anne's, Westminster, for an expression of opinion upon that system of administrative incapacity and unbnainses-like management in every department of the state, by which during the present war the country has suffered such fearful and disgraceful disasters, and the burden of taxation upon the people has been increased to an enormous and unnecessary extent ; and likewise to petition the legislature in favour of administrative reform, upon the basis of thorough responsibility, promotion for merit, and efficient management in every department and office of the government. Mr. C. 41 lIPPIRTS, sealer churchwarden, occupied the chair. - 11 r: Cuaturr Gnoatin moved the first resolution, which was an echo lathe first clause of ,the requisition as given above. He regretted the lukewarmness displayed by the parish of St. Anne upon the gnat question of administra tive reform, but had no doubt, notwithstanding occasional instances of local apathy, that the movement recently set on foot in the city of London would go on prosperously ; and indeed it was highly necessary for the sake of the country that it should do so, as all must think who had heard of the numerous cases of mismanagement and imiaoper rdiPtotems which had recently been brought before üblic notice. (Hear, hear.) There were two such ewes which had come under his own notice, and which he would mention, as he could vouch for the accuracy of what he was about to say. The first cue was that of a young gentleman of 16. He was the eon of a military officer, and was presented to a situation in the War-office at a salary of 801. a year. He had not been there six weeks when the gentleman who had got him the appointment sought out his father, and asked him if he would like any thing better for his sou. The father, of course, said yes, and the youth was given an appointment in the commis sariat, and sent to the Crimea, at a salary of 4001. a year. (Shame, shame.) It was ridiculous to suppose that a youth of sixteen could render adequate services for such a salary and yet the cue came to - him from • respectable solicitor who knew the family well, and could vouch for the facts. (Hear, hear.) The other cue had happened within the lest aim weeks. Sir C. Trevelyan went to • gentleman who held a responsible office in the Treasury, and whom he (the speaker) would call Mr. C, and placed under him • youth to see what he was fit for. Mr. C tried him well, and some little time after reported to Sir C. Trevelyan that he was' not, fit for anythicg. (Laughter.) Sir C. Trevelyan asked why not ? when Mr. C said he could not even write. (Laughter.) Sir Charles Trevelyan in tura reported this to the noblemen who had recommended the youth, who only said, "Oh, then, let C teach him to write." (Shame, shame.) Surely it was high time to pat an end to such a state of things as this, which could only result disastrously to the public service. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with what had been said in different places, that a good deal of the evil of improper appointments arose from the practice of electors applying to their representatives for places for their relatives and friends ; but believed that this was more general in small than is large constituencies. At Great Grimsby, for instance, he knew of one gentleman who had got three sons into the customs there, and a fourth into the customs here; and it would be monstrous to sup• pose that the threesome at Grimsby were the best fitted for the plains they bid t there. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the support rendered to the question of administrative reform by =labial of parliament, the great body of the metropolitan meenben, at all events, had not done their duty in standing public meetings. So far as they were themselves asseerned, Sir De Lacy Evans had given in his written ailsesices to the movement; but Sir J. Shelley had not dome mend to hie (Mr. George's) knowledge had even interfered to endeavour to do away with • medial/ in • neighbouring parish, or at all events to prevent it from pressing too severely upon Lord Palmerston. :(Hear, hear.) Tbe truth was, Sir John Shelley was a complete automaton k She hands of Sir B. Hall, who without doubt had intro thud him to that constituency, and probably he hoped to step into something good, as his patron Sir B. Hall had him self done. The on dit was that he expected to be made paid chairman of the Central Board of Public Works, and yet of all the men among the metropolitan members, there was no man magnet a sham as • man of business (he said this as a man of business himself ), as Sir J. Shelley. (Hear, hear.) After some able remarks upon the genial question, the speaker concluded by claiming wisest support for the Ad ministrative Reform movement. Mr. Roma, in seconding the motion, passed some severe strictures upon the conduct of Sir J.Shelley,as representative ofWsetminstsr. Sir John had polled more votes in that parish than had ever been given o to • liberal candidate before. He had, however, not seat to parliament merely to be a whig heck, and it was with intense disgust that he (Mr. Rogers) had seen the name of Sir J. Shelley in the division list spied Mr. La yard's motion. (Hear, hear.) Hs had given deep offence by that vote to the electors of Wnt abater, and he would find at the next election that he could not so act with immesh, iemeose./ Mr.Du us. supported the motion, as did also Mr.J. 0 monol, who made some very severe remarks upon the conduct of Sir J. Shelley, and denouseed the undue weight of Ger man influence in the affairs of the country. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Hamm moved the second resolution, urging the ne cessity of • rigid examination as to fitness for place, and of promotion solely for merit. Mr. Dowses seconded the motion. Mr. Bartow having spoken in support, the motion was tusanhnously adopted, as was also • • petition to the House of Commons, based upon the previous resolutions, proposed by Mr. Cox, and seconded by Mr. BAILIY, the petition to be forwarded for presentation to Sir Ds Lacy Evans. The proceedings clued by a vote of thanks to the chair man, who, in reply, expressed his regret that his position had prevented him from answering arguments from which he daunted, as, although he had presided in his capacity of churchwarden, he did not agree in the objects of the meeting.

LORI) RORRRT GROSVENOR'S DEPENCR Of THE SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Lord Robert Grosvenor complains that the Sudsy Trading Bill has been grossly misrepresented. Writing its defence he says " the provisions of the bill do sot UP terfere in any way with any publio-bouse, beer.honse, coffee-house, eating-house, putrycook, baker's shops, stew boats, omnibus, or railway, nor with the sale of any of those small luxuries in the shape of ginger-beer, fruit, dc., wink l an usually sold in baskets and harrows by the poorerclerm It forbids the sale, in ordinary shops, of articles of raw food after 9 o'clock in the morning, and the 4th clause ie eepe chilly aimed at the practice of sending forth mice of journeymen fishmongers, pool , and butchers, to sister to the luxuries of the wealthy." Newspapers and periodicals are not to be sold after ten o'clock, but thee the/ can be had at the coffee-houses. Barbers are not to bare their customers after ten, but this is their own propostlin; as for tobacconists, his lordship intends to more a clause to allow them to keep open shop during the hours that the public-houses are open. He denies that it is sn aristocratic measure, seeing that it originated solely with tradespeople. It appears that somo one has " assured" Lord Robert that a compulsory cold bath in the Serpentine 4110 him next Sunday, but his Lordship says he is in no appre* hension of such a catastrophe.
