MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 28th instant, exhibits some rather unfavourable features. The bullion has been trenched upon, to some extent, while the other securities show a con siderable addition. In the reserve of notes, how ever, there is a slight increase, and the public deposits have been augmented by the active collec tion of the revenue. The various items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation £20,603,230 Decrease 276,825 Bullion 16,178,815 Decrease 166,12.5 Rest .. 3,115,063 Decrease .. 18,009 Public Deposits . • .. 6 , 9 37,308 Increase 379,997 Other Deposits.. .. 14,685,087 Increase Seven Day and other Bills .. 662,331 Increase .. 2,956 Government Securities .. 10,335,491 No alteration.

Hill and Ledger, export oilmen, of Aldgate, it was resolved to accept the offer of Mr. Hill, to take the business —Mr. Ledger retiring —and to pay a composition. of 10s. in the pound by instalments, the last to be secured. During the last few days less activity prevailed in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea at public sale has declined about 3d. to 6d. per lb., *while sugar and coffee have scarcely sustained pre vious quotations. Rice, however, has been in fair demand at steady rates. Fruit and spices have remained dull. At the public sales of Spanish indigo, good and fine qualities have realised an advance. Saltpetre has continued inactive. Tallow has been quiet, and prices for both present and forward delivery have slightly receded. On the Great Western Railway of Canada the traffic receipts for the week ending the 16th inst., amounted to £8,955 against £7,490 last year. The traffic receipts of the Ottoman Railway, for the week ending the 18th inst., exhibited an in crease of £72. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton market yesterday, and prices were again rather higher. The sales were 10,000 bales. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday were again of an unimportant character. The Hammonia, from New York, has brought £38,430 in specie, and the Oneida, from the Brazils, has arrived at Lisbon with £9,286. The money market is rather easier, first class bills b eing negotiable, today, at 2 per cent., and the banks and private discount houses exhibit a greatt , illingness to transact business. The market for Aixic;pan Securities during the past week has been moderately active. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. state that—" There has been, during the past week, a good demand for American Securities generally ; but more particularly for the United. States Five per Cent. Bonds of 1847, in which there have been some large transactions." CITY NEWS ---THIS DAY. Two O'CLOCK. The twenty - first annual meeting of the lonian Bank was held to-day. Mr. 011iver Ferrar in the chair. The directors' report recommends a dividend of 6 per cent. per annum. The Chairman moved the ad option of the report, and said that the past year had been the most favourable since the com mencement of their operations. An addition had been made to the reserve fund, amounting to nearly the same sum set asidelastyear. A failure had taken place at one of their agencies, which amounted to £1,600, but Ll,OOO of that sum had been provided for by the directors. The progress of the bank led the managers to hope that in the course of another year they would be able to make a distribution among the proprietors in addition to the Racial dividend. The motion was unanimously carried, and the directors who retired by rotation re-elected. There has been a meeting to-day of the Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada. The direc tors' report, which was adopted, gave the net profits lor the six months ending the 31st March at £14,839 Bs. 2d., which, added to the sum brought forward from September, made a balance at credit of revenue of £14,880 10s. A dividend at the rate of 133 per cent. per annum, less income-tax, was therefore declared. It was also resolved that one half of the surplus profits over 6 per cent. per annum, and the usual charge for interest, amount. ing together to £3,962 15s. 7d., be carried to the reserve fund, in accordance with the provisions of the royal charter of incorporation; and that £5OO be applied to the redemption of preliminary expenses. There will then remain the sum of £42 14s. sd. to the credit of the next half-year's accounts. An improvement of 1 per cent, has taken place in the market for English Securities, Consols being 93t, for transfer, and 921 4, less the dividend, for account. Purchases have preponderated, and a better feeling has been engendered by the easier tome of the money market. The New Threes and the Reiuced are 911 ; Exchequer Bills are flat at 10s, tc 13s. prem. ; Bank Stock has receded to 234; but lidia 5 per Cents, are firm at 1091 1. There has been very little activity in the Foreign market, but prices in most instances teal upwards. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 801 81 ; ditto, 1858, 694 704 ; Egyptian Scrip has improved to 1! prem.; Russian ditto to 1 4 prem. ; Spanish Certificates to SI, 91; Italian 5 per Cents, to 701 ; Tortuguese are 454 ; and Dutch 4 per Cents. 1004. In the Railway Share Market the operations have continued limited, but prices, in some instances, have been firmer. Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern (Berwick) have improved 55.; Great Westerns, Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, and South Easterns, however, deelint d ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines are also at slightly enhanced prices. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian advanced to 214 211 ; East Indian to 108: 1 ; Great Indian Peninsula to 1031. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally remained without material change in values—Oriental Bank being dealt in at 501 •' Crystal P a l ace Stock at 33; and Rio de Janeiro Improvement at 264 27.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ROBSON V. ROBSON AND FENWICK. This was a petition presented by the husband against the wife, praying for divorce on the ground of adultery and bigamy. The parties were together for some time after marriage, but eventually the respondent became addicted to drinking, 'and a separation was agreed to, the petitioner allowing her ss. a week, which he continued until she became involved in debt. He then stopped the allowance for some time, but eventually he again made the payments, and continued to do so until he discovered his wife was living with the co-respondent as his wife. The wife said when the citation was served upon her that she wondered Mr. Robson had troubled himself at all about her, that the statements of the petitioner were perfectly true, and that she was quite happy with Fenwick, and should not think of returning or troubling him. Two or three witnesses were called, who proved the adultery. The Court decreed a rule nisi. WILLIAMS T. WILLIAMS. This case was struck out, owing to the non-attendance of the parties. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE H. RUSSELL. This bankrupt was described as a vocalist, and came up to-day upon the question of his last examination and dis charge. This was an in forma pauperis petition, and Mr. Aldridge, the Crown Solicitor, did not offer any opposition. The bankrupt said he could not recollect when he was arrested, but thought it was two months ago. He did not recollect the name of the creditor who arrested him, but it was upon a bill which he endorsed for a person of the name of Brooks, at Liverpool, about ten years ago. Mr. Aldridge—You don't appear to have a very reten tive memory. Bankrupt—Yes, I have ; but I am not accustomed to these matters. Commissioner—You leave been in difficulties. Bankrupt—Yes, and I have lost engagements through it. I have dune notbinG for two mouths. The Commissioner hoped it would be a caution to the bankrupt not to put his name to a bill again. Bankrupt—That I wen't, not for my own brother. The Commissioner—You are discharged. The usual order was then given. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr, Kerr and a Common Jury.) A PUNCTUAL JUDGE.-A. SCENE IN COURT. To-day was an old Sheriffs' Court day, and the causes had been sent down from the superior Courts for trial. At about five minutes to 10 the jury were called, and at pre. cisely ten o'clock the judge took his seat. The first cam was called and the plaintiff answered, informing the Court that his counsel would be " here in a minute" Mr. Kerr—Strike it oat. One of the officers recommended that it should stand over for a minute or two• His Honour (looking at the dock, then two minutes past ten.) No. Strike it out. Call the next. Officer—Happ v. Andrews. Mr. Gibbons—l am here for the defendant. His Honour—Does any one answer f or th e plaintiff. No answer being returned, his Honour said " you maygo, gentlemen." (Laughter.) It was now three minutes past ten, and his Honour hastily left the judgment seat. A. scene of alm os t indescrib able confusion ensued. The jury rushed out of the box and a counsel hastened upstairs from the Waiting room. He appeared for the plaintiff in the . first ca se , an d h e " never in high glee, assured had been called. It h t h e e a r d i n o d f i gsuch ccounsel t.' t ' h a t T he the u e a r s y e , was now four minutes past ten, and a gentleman arrived with some law books. " You re too late," shouted the jurymen. Soon after this soma witnesses arrived, and to all was the same answer given. At fiv e m i nutes past ten the judge had left the building ; and so was to be seen an extraordinary instance of speedy law : a j ury sworn, two j cased called, struck out, and ury , discharged—all in less than five minutes. In justic e to tne indignant counsel, it should be stated that the case was only called in court, and not out side the door at the top of the stairs, in which latter case the gentleman alluded-to, who was in the Court-house before ten o'clock, would have answered. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were small. The trade, however, was very dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting to further reduced rates. There was a good show of foreign wheat, and whore sales were forced, prices ruled decidedly in favour of buyers. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and the currencies had a downward tendency. There were scarcely any samples of malting barley on offer. Grinding and distilling qualities sold heavily, and the quotations were barely suppotted. In malt sales progressed slowly at about previous rates. Good and fine oats were in steady request, at full prices; but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur rencies. Beans and peas were unchanged in value, but the inquiry for them ruled very inactive. The flour trade was dull, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty maintained. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whelt.

A special general r aeeting of the shareholders in this company was held th. is day, at the company's offices, 31 Parliament-street, for the purpose of considering and ap-' proving of a bill now I ending in Parliament. Mr. WILKINSON occupied the chair, and explained the nature of the bill. A resolution approving of a bill authorising the Mid Kent Railway 'Company to make a railway from the Mid Kent Railway to Addiscombe, was unanimously agreed to. The proceedings, which were purely formal, then ter minated. POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET, THIS DAY: GAROTTING A PUBLICAN.—Two young men, named Mark Barnett, and Henry Sweetlove, were brought before Mr. Henry on remand, charged with garotting and robbing Mr. James Wilson, a publican. Mary Farley said—l was in White Lion-street, St. Giles, on Monday evening last, when I saw some men, amongst whom were the two prisoners leading a gentleman along who was bleeding very much from a wound in the face. They commenced pushing him about. I went over to them and told them not to ill-treat the gentleman, when I heard one of the prisoners say "Ding it." I have since heard that the gentleman had been robbed of his gold spectacles. Mr. James Wilson said--I am a licensed victualler, and carry on business at 123, Drury-lane. On Monday last I left my house of business about 7 o'clock in the evening for my residence in Camden-town, and as I was proceeding to the omnibus in Tottenham-court-road, and when near White Lion-street, Seven Dials, some persons came behind me, and seized me by the collar of my coat, and then I re ceived a violent blow in the face, which rendered me for some minutes perfectly senseless. I was lifted up by some persons, and then I found I had been robbed of my gold eye-glass. The injuries 1 received were so severe that for three or four days I was incapable of attending to business. Police -constable Ackrill said both prisoners were the constant associates of thieves. Barnett said—The woman is mistaken in me. I've got good work, end have no need to steal. Mr. Henry—The female witness swears positively that you were one of the parties with the gentleman when she went over to protect him. Ackrill asked for a remand, in order to allow him time to apprehend two other persons who were concerned with the prisoners in the robbery. The magistrate granted the application. MARLBOROUGH .STREET, THIS DAY, CABS AND CAB HORSES.—CAUTION TO CAB OWNERS. —Mr. Robert Woolley, a cab proprietor, of Warren-mews, attended to answer a complaint of causing a horse to be tor-, tured by being used in a cab while in an unfit state. It was proved by Sergeant Davey, 17 C, and Mr. Cherry the veterinary surgeon to tha police, that the horse was in a very bad state, greatly diseased, and totally unfit to be used. Defendant said there was nothing the matter with it, and he would not mind betting his worship £5 that it would do 12 miles in an hour. (Laughter.) Mr. Knox, after commenting on the defendant's conduct in sending out a horse in such a state, fined him 20s. and costs. Mr. Cherry said the defendant had other horses which had been complained of. Mr. Knox said the defendant had better be careful, for if he came before him again he probably should commit him without a fine. The driver of the cab, Benton, was fined ss. and costs for using the horse. Alfred Jenks, badge 13,478, was fined ss. and costs for using a cab in an unfit state, the cab being a Hansom. A hackney carriage attendant, named Green, proved seeing the defendant's cab on the stand in Conduit-street, with several spokes in both wheels loose and broken. The witness, in answer to a question, said the cab alto gether was in an unfit state for public use—in fact, it NI as dangerous to use it. James Clark was charged as follows : Sergeant Joy, 9 C, proved seeing the prisoner the previ ous evening pushing among a number of persons assembled round a glove shop window in Regent-street, and particu larly keeping his eye on the pockets of two foreign gentle men. He watched the prisoner and saw him feeling the pockets of the gentlemen and then walk to the Haymarket, when he took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner—Now did you not say that:you would take me and give me a drag? That's three months, your worship. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said the prisoner had been tried at the Old Bailey and sentenced to 12 months for robbing a a man of a watch. Prisoner—Why he wasn't worth one. (Laughter.) Sergeant Cole said that previous to receiving the 12 months prisoner had had 10 years' penal servitude, and be was only discharged last week at Bow-street. Committed for three months. THAMES, THIS DAY. ROMIERY BY WouxmEN.—George Patten, a labourer in the service of Messrs. Mare and Co., iron ship-builders, Millwall, Poplar, was brought before Mr.Woolrych, charged with stealing a pint and a half of oil and eight pieces of wood, value in all 9d., the property of his employers. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, who conducted the prosecu tion, and was instructed by Mr. Henry Cox, superintendent of Messrs. Mare's establishment, said the value of the property with which the prisoner was charged with steal ing was insignificant, but the robberies committed in the prosecutors' yald, where 1,500 men were employed, were in the aggregate very large. It was the determination of Messrs. Mare and Co. to prosecute in every case of pilfer ing, and he was sorry to say that in several of Messrs. Mare's workmen had been convicted by Jones, or sum marily convicted by the magistrates of the Thames Police Court for stealing property. Examples were absolutely necessary, for if the pilfering was not stopped the works could not be oarried on. The prisoner was detected leaving his employer's premises, by Mr. Thomas Thomas, night in spector of the night watchmen, in Messrs. Mare's yard, with a tin bottle in his possession. It contained a pint and a half of oil. The inspector also found eight small pieces of wood, used in shipbuilding, concealed about the person of the prisoner. The story told by tho prisoner that he brought the oil into the yard with him in the morning when ho came to work was quite preposterous, and could not be credited for a moment. Mr. Thomas then confirmed the statement of the solicitor, and Mr. William Galdin, deputy foreman to Charles John Mare and Company, said he had occasion to send the pri soner to the stores yesterday mcrning for some oil, and ho then had an opportuity of filling the tin bottle produced. The prisoner had been employed on the establishment be tween two and three years. Mr. Thomas waq recalled, and said—The prisoner had he can of oil concealed behind him. Mr. Cox said there had been property to a considerable amount taken from Messrs. Mare's yard, which in such an extensive establishment necessitated the establishmont of gatekeepers, day watchmen, night watchmen, and inspectors. Mr. Woolrych said tho workmen and labourers ought to be a police on each other. . _ The prisoner said he did steal the oil and the wood. It was quite true, and he was very sorry for it. Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner's conduct was very dis graceful and dishonest, and he would very properly be dis missed from the prosecutor's yard, and not be allowed to work there again. It was a serious thing for a man to rob his employers, whose property he was bound to protect, and it also brought discredit on the honest and respectable workmen in the yard. He was asked to dispose of this case summarily, and should do so. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for twenty-one days in the House of Cor rection, and to be kept to hard labour. SUDDEN DEATH IN THE NOTTINGHAM COUNTY CoußT.—Yesterday morning an awful instance of the uncertainty of life occurred in the Nottingham County Court. The judge, Mr. R. Wildman, was engaged hearing a case, when a man named Samuel Wilson, a pensioner, aged 56 years, suddenly fell on to the floor as if in a fainting fit, Assistance was promptly obtained, a surgeon being immediately on the spot, but all efforts to restore the deceased to consciousness were unavailing, and he died before he could be carried out of the County-hall. A inquest will be held this day. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—How GOVERNESSES ARE PAlD.—Yesterday morning Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy-coroner, held an inquest on the body of Elise Jahreis, a fine young German woman, only 21 years of age, which was found floating in the Thames. Onoxamining the dress of the deceased a bill belonging to the Royal one Mint Hotel, Paddington, was found in the pocket, and farthing in money. It was ascertained that the deceased had been staying at the hotel from the 15th to the 17th of the present month, when st , . e went away, having paid the bill found in her possession. She left a bag, stating that she would call again for, it, but had never done so. This bag was found to contain her wearing apparel and some letters addressed to Mr. Daman, surgeon, of Leman-street, Wrhitcchapel. Tho summoning officer at once proceeded there, when Mr. Daman informed him that the deceased was a young woman of highly respectable connections in Germany, and that she was staying with him for ten months, when she obtained a situation as governess with a family in Cornwall, at a salary of £lO a-year. She went there on the 21st of March, but a few days ago she wrote to him stating that she did not like the situation, that her money was all gone, and that she should return to London, but he never heard anything of her until he was informed that she had been found in the water. Had she written to of money could h ave b een ob her friends a fresh su pp l y t a ined. The jury returned as their verdict, " That the de ceased was found drowned, but how she came into the water there was no evidence to show," The Bank of Manchester, which was one of the first that had the courage to adopt the principle of limited liability, has derived the advantage from it of an increase of business as well as an improvement of the proprietary ; and an augmentation of the Board has just taken place by the addition of Messrs. Thomas Fairbairn, Edward Ryley Langworthy, Ivie Mackie, John Pender, and James itsPi nall turner, -~-. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—Trns EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Corbet's Estate London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Junction Railway at Battersea)—Deesida Railway—Hull and Hornsea Railway —and Scottish North Eastern Rail way Bills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Dublin (Borough) Fire Brigade and Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. THE WHITSUNTIDE RECESS. Earl GRANVILLE said that he should propose that their lordships do adjourn for the Whitsuntide recess from Thursday, the 6th, until Friday, the 13th of June. LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPLEMENTAL BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendment. CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. Earl GRANVILLE rose to move the third reading of this bill. The noble lord commenced his observations by defending the financial policy of the Government, and contended that they had provided for the public service and the defence of the country in a manner consistent with the state of affairs abroad, and with a due sense of their responsibility not only as regards the economic administration of the finances, but also for the security of the State. He thought their lordships would agree with him in thinking that the last three years had been of a very exceptional character. The war in America had inflicted great distress upon a most important branch of our manufacture s , b ut b es i des this we had had to provide for a war with China, for a war with New Zealand, and for a possible one with the Northern States of America, which, he thanked God, had been averted, It was, there fore, not astonishing that, whilst, on the one hand, the revenue had been affected for the time by a policy which the wisdom and patriotism of Parliament had enabled the Go vernment to carry out ; on the other hand, the expen diture had been necessarily increased, but looking at the resources of the country and the e l as ti c i ty o f the revenue, there was no just ground for apprehension at the financial prospects of the country, for he trusted the adverse circumstances would soon pass away. He assured their lordships that the Government would consider it their duty to the country not merely for their personal interests, to reduce the expenditure as much as possible, and he entertained the greatest confidence that they would soon be able to do so. Upon impartially re viewing the whole facts of the case, he was convinced that their lordships would come to the conclusion that the Government had acted with discretion in dealing with the finances of the coun try, and that looking at the hopeful and redeeming features of the prospect, they join in his expressions of thankfulness that the country was likely to pass so well through a serious and distressing crisis. The Earl of CARNARVON rose, and was [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Mid Wales Railway (Deviations, &e.), Tupton and Ash over and Birkin. Lane Roads, Wellington and Cheshire Junction Railway, and West Riding, Hull, and Grimsby Railway. The Sale of Spirituous Liquors Bill was considered and ordered for third reading. Several petitions in favour of the Permissive Bill for the sale of spirituous liquors, and in favour of giving a majority of the ratepayers of a parish the power to prohibit the same, were presented. RAILWAY CHARGES, On the motion of Mr. HORSFALL, a return was or dered, setting forth specifically certain items of information relative to railway traffic, &e,, in different parts of the United Kingdom. CHANNEL ISLANDS GARRISONS. Sir P. SMITH moved an address for return of the ex pense incurred in maintaining garrisons in each of the Channel Islands, in the years 1810 and 1860 respectively, showing the amount expended for the pay in each year for staff and regimental officers, non-commissioned officers and privates, and the numerical strength of each garrison in each year.—Ordered. ALTERATION OF PATRONYMICS WITHOUT AUTHORITY. Mr. ROE BUCK gave notice that on going into com mittee of supply he would ask whether Mr. Jones had added to his name that of Herbert without the Royal license ; whether the Lord Chamberlain had refused to pre sent him at court by the name he had Resumed ; whether the Horse Guards had not reused him his commission in the militia; whether he had not also been refused the commission of peace ; and whether all these things were not contrary to law. (Great laughter.) CHINESE EMIGRANTS To NEW SO UTH WALLS. Mr. MARSH asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, an act whether had been passed by the Legislature of New South Wales, imposing a fine of £lO on every Chinese landed in the colony, and an annual poll tax of £4 on every Chinese resident there. and enacting other penalties against them ; whether her Majesty had been advised to withhold her consent from such act; and, whether ho was aware that, previous to the passing of this act, a select com mittee of the Legislative Council of New South Wales had, after examining witnesses, made a report wholly and en tirely acquitting the Chinese residing in the colony of the charges and imputations which had b: en made against them ? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the act in question had been passed with reference to the imposition of a poll tax on male adults emigrating into New South Wales. it was the intention of her Majesty's -Government to advise the relaxation of the act so far as related to Chinese accom panied by their wives, but the act had been rendered ne cessary in the ifirst instance by the inequality of the sexes in the colonies. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. Colonel W. PATTEN asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce any measure during the present session for re gulating the construction of lines of electric telegraph on public roads and lands adjoining thereto, and whether care had been taken to insert in all private bills having this object clauses rendering electric telegraph companies liable to future general legislation. He also asked for some further explanation from the right hon. gentle man relative to the subject. Mr. M. GIBSON said that one-half of the existing com panies bad got a clause in their bills, which gave Parlia ment a limited power of interference at the end of 10 years. There were, however, no powers vested in Government to deal with the subject. He intended to communicate with the chairmen of public companies in reference to the mat ter. The whole subject was undergoing consideration, but he could not say, as at present advised, that any bill on the subject would be introduced. THE TEST AGAINST THE WARRIOR. Mr. LAIRD asked the Secretary of State for War if the War-office had decided that the Horafall monster gun should be tested against the Warrior and other targets, and if so, when such trial would take place ? Sir G. LEWIS said that some experiments had been made relative to the Warrior, but nothing specific had been decided on the subject. MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT. In reply to Lord HoTusm, Mr. M. GIBSON said he would bring cn this bill on Monday next. PURCHASE IN THE ARMY. Sir DEL. EVANS, on the motion for going into com mittee, moved that, in the opinion of this house, no further postponement ought to take place in giving effect to the promises of Government, that the command of regi ments should no longer be purchasable, and that the promotions to that rank should henceforth be regulated by election upon the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief. The hon. and gallant member, who stated that he was labouring under ill-health, was very indistinctly heard, was understood to urge the usual argument which ho has previously advanced on this subject. Sir G. LEWIS said that the committe e who had elabo rately investigated this subject in 1860, and which ir. Sidney Herbert, and other distinguished persons, had recommended that the commission of lieutenant -general should not be obtained by purchase, but be in the appointment of the Commander-in-Chief. Some other recommendations had been made. It as decided that 1 2 new regiments s hould be created, and it was thought it would be desirable that before making any alteration in the system they should have the practice of non-purchase worked in these regiments in which it was to be tested. Any alt eration in the system would be a ttended with groat difficultie s in detail that would prac ti ca lly render it impossi ble to be carried at the present day. (Hea r .) He also reminded the house of the expense of any immediate alteration, which would amount to £7,106,000, for reimbursing the persons who had purchased commissions in the army. He contended that there was no analogy between the naval and military service to justify the applying the rule of ono to the other, for they were quite dissimilar. He adverted to the fact that in Ind' where the practice was voluntrY, and not sancioned by 19 : it prevailed to a considerable extent. The rightg honour support by moving the able gentleman went through different other support of his views, and said that he must orpoptionsdesthine motion of the hon. and gallant mernber previous question.
