Secretary CANNING rose to order, The Right Honourable Gentleman might prove what wa s disorderly in the langu a g e of theHonourable Mem ber betermterrupted, but he did not think that he vas to gointo any genir.il reflection while he was to prove any individual otlt of order. Mr, TIE liblEY again rose to order--when the Speaker interposed, and declared that the Honourable limber (Colonel Duckett) in making any reflection "tithe proceedings o f , that House, was not in order. Colonel DUCKETT then proceeded to argue tpinst the Amendment, and in favour of the Clause. Tbe Right Honourable Gentleman had evinced such palousy for this his favourite plan, that he could " Bear like the Turk no rival near tit, throne." Mr. LYTTLETON read a number of details to tom the successful superiority of the plan of his light Honourable Friend. The ordinary recruiting within one year, bad increased from 918 to 1898. Mr. JOHNSTONE declared that he was fully unrinced that his Right Honourable Friends, on his sideof the House, were incapable of acting on those invidious principles which were ascribed to them by Gentlemen on the other side, He defended the al tentioa which was about to, be made in the military sPlitea by the clause which' was then the object of aitetesion, and asked if it could be supposed that net could be induced to enter the army on any sober, *inking principles ? Mr. HATIIU RST explained, Colonel SHIPLEY bore testimony of the great utility of Mr. Windham's system , an d the army hav ing, in consequence, increased, both in numbers and respectability. Colonel THOMAS WOOD asked, why the Right Honourable Gentleman ( Mr. 'Windham ), if his s ystem was to be so productive as he expected, did not dis charge all the old soldiers who had served a long time ' to the arm why all the fathers in the c ountr y were ' not seen bringing in their sons to b e enlisted ? He then entered into a numerical statement of the pro regive advance of payment and rewards given to the MY, under the system of the late Administratioe, with a view t o s hew the extent of the expence incurred it. Mr. WINDHAM defended his Military system, 41 4 said he had not heard a single argument which precluded an old soldier from being rewarded for his and faithful services. The strongest reaommen dome in favour of his system was, that the longer It continued the more it received credit and added to it ' resPectability ; but the Gentlemen on the other side were from party purposes wedded to another sTateln which they wer e convinced was b oth opp r.s sive a n d compulsive. Lor4 CASTLEREAGH answered Mr. Wind ham, who explained, After a few words from Lord G. CAVENDISH and Sir R. MILDANK, the tanestion was loudlY called for, and a division took place, when the clause Proposed was negatived by 189 to 116. We were not re-admitted, but understood the Big to have been read a third time and passed. We also learnt that the.c ons ideration of the Sw!cf sla treaty was deferred till Wednesday, ;n the et in.

The English Minister Adair is still in this city, but it is nevertheless determined that he shall quit it im mediately. We have to-day received intelligence from Trieste, that on the 15th inst. an order was published there, to break off all communication with England. This order caused an impwdiete advance of twenty per cent. on the price of colopiel produce. A similar ad vance is expected to take place here. STOCKHOLM, FEB. 16. The troops which have received orders to advance into Finland have been obliged to make a considerable detour to arrive there, and to p.tss through Lapland. They are divided into two corps—the army is formed into divisions, with the view of moving with the greatei facility, and of marching more expeditiously to those points of the front:ere which are menaced with an attack. The Southern division is under the orders of Field Marshal Baron de Toll ; that of the West, on the frontiers of Norway, is commanded by General Boron de Vegesack ; and that of the North, by M. de Bergenstracle. There is besides a strong division of reserve, which is destined to march in case it should be necessary : the commander of this division is not yet named. The cold is at 15 degrees. Mogen 3,-.lntelligence was received on the 29th ultimo, by the telegraph at Grislehamn, that the Rus sian troops have entered Finland, near Abhorsfors, and advanced as far as Louisa.
