" The author of Dreamlan reap, svo., price ss. and Aletheia' has risen to a height so very close to the summit of .genius, that he may be commiserated for his inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landsca_pe is most luxurious; and the mns'c of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. ' Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenwum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his only Merit. Re is a mas ter of versification. The flow of his Verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a cOpious and ornate vocabulary. Shelley at Harlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision 01 Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. `DIMANELAND is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. Ihe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. - - "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and Musically known in the mOtrical literature of the day. Ills 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of_all. we thi n k, is that of Sc?tt. There is 5010tA441AM.141 4 0 '3 l lOl - 1123And thereader ortheehi t tie 6 f's - to att. —John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Dally News. "Poems of very considerable excellence, Pructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."— The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. ".We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than `Dreamland.' Ile is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the ' Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown The Morris Dancer s." "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by devoting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts —whether we consider 'he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that. while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

Gen. Mizell (commanding the South-Eastern District), accompanied by Col. Welty', Royal Ar tillery, Col. Lennox, Royal Engineers, and Capts. Bolton and Colville, inspected the towers in the Eastbourne District last week. Some time was spent in examining the large circular redoubt, which has lately been altered in accordance with the suggestions of the select committee. The g uns, which were formerly mounted en barbette, are now protected with embrasures of solid masonry faced with granite. The armament (consisting of three lib-pounder Armstrongs on the sea face, flanked with two 08's and 8-inch guns on the land front) is being mounted. When complete this will be a most formidable work, and with the cross fire from Langley and St. Anthony Hill will make a landing on the beach a very difficult matter.

Ladds, arrived here to-day, from Table Bay, April 21; St. Helena, May 1; and Ascension, May 5. She had been delayed by head winds. After landing her mails here and a part of her passengers, she proceeded this afternoon for Southampton. She brings the following passen gers :—Mr. and Mrs. Van der Byl, three children, and female servant ; Mr, and Mrs. Joad and ser vant; Dr. Levi, Mr. Maynard (a large Cape rail way shareholder, deputed to purchase railway plant), Mrs. Farmer, Mr. Cox, Dr. Drossell, Mr. and Mrs. J.

B. de Villiers, J. Proud foot, and J. Watermeyer, jun. Her cargo consists of 1,154 bags copper ore, 72 packages ivory, 200 bales hides, 320 bales wool, 34 bags argot, 12 cases feathers, 1 hhd. 2 cases of wine, 4 bales skins, and several cases of sundries. At the Cape there was but little political news of importance. His Excellency the Governor had re turned from visiting some parts of the western pro vince to Cape Town, to prepare for the opening of Parliament, which event was to take place on the 24th of April. It was thought likely that his ex cellency would visit the eastern province as soon as the labours of Parliament for the present year are brought to a close. It was generally understood that he intended to invite several important altera tions in the manner in which the Government is carried on, and the Governor's inaugural speech was looked forward to with great curiosity and interest. The Hon. Mr. De Roubaix intended intro• ducing a bill for restraining free trade in money,and limiting the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent. The general feelin g,h owever,w as against the introduction of any usury law. Among the chief questions that would be brought forward would be proposed rail ways and irrigation. Separation was to be again brought forward, but there was much indecision and division prevailing among even the stanchest Sepa rationists. At a meeting at Cradock they, how ever, threatened that if neither separation nor a removal of the seat of Government could be brought about, they would try to force on an early dissolu tion of of Parliament, in order to get the question settled by an "appeal to the country." There was a rumour that the Governor hoped to settle this dispute by holding the Parliament alternately at Graham's Town and Cape Town.

An attempt was also about to be made to extend the Cape o tr p a e ffi ra c ti Town and Wellington Railway to Worcester. The W ynburg Railway was about to commence active operations, and Mr. Marcus Smith, C.E., the company's engineer, was busily engaged in staking out the ground. The Table Bay patent slip was rapidly approach ing completion, and promised to be of great service to the shipping frequenting the harbour. In British Kaffraria a dispute almost personal in its nature was left pending between Col. Maclean, the Lieutenant-Governor, and the town council of King William's Town, the colonial eapital of that province. The municipality enacted a by-law that the waters of the Buffalo River (from w hich the town is supplied with w ater) should not be polluted by bathing, washing, or o therwise for two miles above and half a mile below. The garrison of the town had been in the habit of carrying on those forbidden operations within the two miles, and the municipality sought to remedy this lieutenant; isance, as t h e y had to drink the water. The G o vernor, however, requested them not to interfere with the pleasures of the military officers, and hinted that the troops might possibly be removed to East London or elsewhere, to the injury of Ki ng William's Town, if his request was not complied GIVEN"AWAY TO NERVOUS SUFFERERS.

(Franz the Cincinnatti lnqu rcr.) f a m i ly viS, A furrier r:s:med B. A„Gridlev, rebiding 2 'Dila back of Warsaw, Gallatin C9niity, KeNtucky, wealthy, 11 regpectably connected , conceived the itfan)ou e e c a h eoelf d ones, who had always made his home comfortable a e n p d a r t i mi n s e g r a froze bl e, h e i e s u wifet the and ttl lt and happy, and not satisfied with making his ow n confi dence of a young and innocent girl of 15 years old, named Mary Kyle, the daughter of a ' • neighbouring farnior, residing one mile distant, and by entf,eaty and promises succeeded in obtaining her consent to accompany him on his truant.errand. M ar y i s cousin to Gridley's wife. The plans were . laid, and. Monday night laEt was selected for the accomplish ment of their elopempnt. Late on that night Gridley, with his carpetbag filled with clothing, left - his roof, beneath which he bad always passed happy and agreeable hours, his rife and children little suspecting the part the hnabtuid and father was about to enact on the world's stage. Gridley cautiou sl y stole away from his d2amber, and hurriedly quitting his domicile, fled to the resi dence of his young victina to seduction and shame. Mary was ready, and soon both were hed in half an on their way to the Ohio river, which they 'leac hour. Gridley then purloined u stiff, and the file.; tive pair crossed the Ohi.4 to Florence, Indiana where they passed the remader of the night, co habiting together as man - aid wife. The foil owing morning the relatives of each suspected what had happened, and went in pursuit of the runaways- Grid:ey had intended to board a steamer on Tues day evening for this city, but learning, immediately after dinner, that the officers and his friends were in pursuit of him even to the town of Florence, he quietly secured two horses, and, with a loaded double barreled gun by his side, fled with Mary overland to the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, twenty- one miles distant from Florence. They got on the train that evening and arrived here on Tuesday night at half past 10. They went to the Indiana House, Gridley registering as man and wife. On Thursday, at noon, Gridley went down on the mail-boat after his baggage, which he secured, and returned ouin the Prioress without being disc overed, reaching Ccin nati early Saturday morning. On the trip up of the steamer, an accquaintance of Gridley and the girl Mary happened to be on board, and knowing of the elopement which had caused the most intense excitement at Warsaw ond vicinity, for all the parties were w ell known, this gentleman determined to inform the police. He sought officer Schuyler, and gave him the informa tion. That officer at once instituted search, but failed to learn of Gridley's whereabouts, until 12 o'clock, when he found that he had registered his name and wife, and taken state-room "No. 20," en the steamer Prioress, for Belleview, Ky., a small place a few miles down the river. Schuyler secured the services of officer Chumley and returned to the boat. Gridley was sitting on the guard of the boat when the officers stepped on board and informed d hreiai that he was a prisoner. Gridley smiled an marked, " That's a goo d joke.'"Ehe officers then inquired, " Wh ere is Mar y , the girl ? " Gridley replied, "In room No. 20." The cfficers then went back, and opening th e door, found her sittlng on the side of the bed, c r y in g bitterl y , as she after wards alleged, at the disgrace she had brougilt, upon herself. Nlary at once confessed to the officer that they were going to Belleview, and the:' pro cure a conveyance to take them through the rebel lines into Dixie, and that Gridley wanted V.' go South and gad coaxed her to go with him, and he would marry her after they had gone beyond Federal jurisdiction. When the fact that she was under arrest and that she, with Gridloy, would have to return to Warsaw , the d istressed girl wept aloud and bitterly, and begged the o fficer for God's sake to shoot her. The arrest and the sobs of the poor girl created the greatest excitement among the passengers of the steamer. Upon being assured that she would be protected and not taken to jail, she became quiet, and accompanied the officer to the Gibson House. Officer Chumley conveyed Gridley to the Hammond - street station -house and locked him up. Gridley offered no apology for his con duct, and was emphatic in his declarations that no finer woman than his wife ever walked the earth ; that he desired a change of country, and took this method to secure it. Mary was willing, to leave Gridley, but, on account of the disgrace, did not want to return home. The officers then telegrap hed to Mary's father to come up and bring an officer with the warrant for The officers found that Gridley had Gridley.with him, and in the con considerable money he o wned one of the versat i on learned that finest farms in Gallatin County. He acknow ledged to cohabitation with Mary, and treated the matter lightly. Their clothing was found to be mixed together in each other's carpet bags, and was separated soon after they were taken i n t o custody. Yesterday morningthe relatives of each arrived on the Forest Queen. The meeting of the mother • mil daughter and sister with sister was deeply t • touching and affecting. For some time neither b • spoke a word; finally Mary broke the spell by egging her mother's forgive ness, and asking her to be received back into her confidence and affection. At noon the entire par t y went down on the Madison packet, the girl re turning to h er home and Gridley under arr est. Gridley and hi s friends predicted a com promise' a conclusion we imagine he had arrived at ra ther prematurely. Mary is decidedly ha ndsome and winning, and Gridley is one of the ugliest men We ever saw. How she ever consented to elope with him, and under the circumstances, is wholly irreconcilable. However, " there is no accounting -) I for taste." A CHILD BURNT TO DEATH IN THE PUBLIC STREETS. —Yesterday an investigation took place at the London Hospital before Mr. H. R.

C(Tbet's Estate =London, Chatham, and Dover Railway (Junction Railway at Battersea)—Deesidc Railway—llull and 13 ornsea 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 Sheir lordships do adjourn for the Whitsuntide recess from Thureday, the sth, 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. Ho thought their lordships would agree with him in thinking that the last three years had been of a v ery exceptional character. The war in America had inflicted great distress upon a most important branch of etr manufactures, but besides 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 ono 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 elasticity of 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 would join in his expres sions of thankfulness that the country was likely to pass so wall through a serious and distressing crisis. The Earl of CARNARVON rose, and entered upon an able and critical exposition of the financial policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He held that there had been great waste in some of the public departments, and that the Minister responsible for the finances had introduced a new and dangerous policy in the treatment of our resources. The calculations which the right hon. gentleman had made at the beginning of every year with so much eloquence had been falsified at the close, and a deficit, with a supplemental estimate, was the result. With the exception of the year 1853, which he admitted was a successful financial year, our state, under the administration of Mr. Gladstone, was one of chronic miscalculation and deficiency. In fact, his estimates were, not worth the paper on which they were written. They had deceived Parliament, disappointed the just expectations of the people, and struck at the very roots of public policy. Ono of the chief errors which the right hon. gentleman had committed was, that he had never framed his estimates with a view to a surplus, whilst his entire mode of dealing with the finances of the country was at once novel and alarming. The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied to the attack of the Earl of Carnarvon, and denied that his right hon. colleague had inaugurated a dangerous policy. So far from that, the financial policy of the last few years had been in strict ac cordance with that which had received the approval of the most enlightened statesmen, and which the country had unanimously endorsed. It was not true that the public ex penditure was increasing, for, upon a comparison of the year 1800-61 with tho picsent year there was a diminution of nearly three millions and a half sterling. In the onslaught which the noble earl had made upon Mr. Gladstone he had exhibited not only inaccuracy in figures but unfairness in argument. The right hon. gentleman had not always mis calculated his budgets, neither had he so dealt with the finances that a deficit and not a surplus had crowned each year's transactions. In short, the speech of the noble earl was nothing more or less than an indictment against the Chancellor of the Exchequer, characterised by unfairness and bad taste, and he believed the noble earl must, upon reflection, fool heartily ashamed of it. Lord OVERSTONE was seriously and deliberaasty of opinion that the financial conduct of the Government had been neither satisfactory nor safe. In his judgment they had entered on a dangerous career of finance, under which, by repudiating the payment of Exchequer Bills, we had failed to meet our engagements, increased our expenses, converted capital into revenue, and added to the public debt. This state of things justified him in the prediction that a rich, intelligent, and high principled people would withhold their assent from such a policy. Earl GREY expressed his concurrence in much that had fallen from Lord 0 verstone, and argued that, to maintain a national credit it was quite as important to have a surplus as a powerful army or an imposing fleet. He feared that in the event of a European war it would be impossible for us to avoid getting into debt ; bat he saw no reason why we should not, in case of war or hostilities breaking out, keep the expenditure within the income. With regard to the past year being an exceptional year, he approved of the prompt and vigorous measures which Government had taken in the Trent affair, but he could not see in that circumstance any justification for increase in the public expenditure. There was no doubt that a repeal of taxes was a great benefit, but it did not justify the Government in throwing the burden upon future years. The policy of the last three years was to expend on the largest scale, and to postpone the pressure of payment by every spendthrift advice. Against such a po licy he would never cease protesting. 'The Duke of ARGYLL characterised the speech of the Earl of Carnarvon as based upon a narrow argument, and disfigured by personalities ; and reminded the house that when Mr. Gladstone acceded to office preparations had already been made by Mr. Disraeli for enormous arma ments, and that the entire burden of providing taxa tion to provide them necessarily devolved upon his right hon. friend. He described the French treaty as a brilliant success, and contended that the remissions of taxa tion effected by Mr. Gladstone had conduced to the general prosperity of the country, and been followed by the com plete restoration of the revenue. The Earl of DERBY said that the object of the discus sion was not to cast blame upon this or that Government, but to bring clearly and distinctly before Parliament and the country the serious, nay alarming condition in which by some persons and by some means the public finances had been placed. The Chancellor of the Exchequer himself had admitted that the finances of the country were in an unhealthy condition; and this being so, surely their lord ships were perfectly right in considering the causes of this state of things and endeavouring to find a remedy. His noble friend the Earl of Carnarvon had declared that the estimates for the last two years were erreneous ; and that when tho Budget was brought forward last year civil war had broken out in the United States; that there was con sequent danger to our trade, and a necessity for taking pre ' cautions against that war being possibly turned against ourselves, which involved an expenditure of a million sterling. The circumstances of the country, indeed, were such that, if Mr. Gladstane had seen the whole extent or the evil, he might have known that a large additional ex penditure would be required for which it was his bounden duty to provide. But he did not do so, and the result of the budgets of the last two years was that there had been a de ficit on the two years of five millions. His noble friend, therefore, was not blameable for saying that the calculations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were essentially errone ous ; neither was he to blame when ho stated that the Minister's miscalculations were a serious inconvenience to the country, and had shaken the confidence of the people in the Government. The noble earl then proceeded to justify the course pursued by his Administration in reconstructing the navy, and contended that that course was essential to placing the fleet upon the footing on which it ought to stand in reference to the navies of other powers. If for that pur pose they had brought forward estimates which had led to a deficit after a certain period, the object which they had in view was one of such paramOunt importance as entirely to overbear n all s p A u d r e v l o y r i fi n a. g a t n o c i t a h l o p o h r r a o s v o e , n 4 b oeconomical armamentsco n-, • ry pla w in as every couconmt r pwa. e ro C anb e sil ti aem tl e y eanr u lt s go ed xdpi b el pa y irn M o opd r o . rt D thi o i o s nt r c a wd e h l i in taotht the hiseir lu right Io means,s h e o hon a f .

To by every loves of condition andi in friend wh ohw o o f nhoiws stood country. Why,lVl a a t t , was applied to the late were incurring habitually a deficit to this very mome n t, o c paraphrase an expression which drifting, not into Ne ar but i it was p a r s op impossible se a 1d ttho imaginee ra rti m om a e ae fu a o m s rt at o awt e o ea a or a lla w , :m er n i o t n wn t : i o cr s e i t graduallyer: :ac:iit deficit, n o o d : things than in a time of p eace the Minister of the Crown finance, the result of which had been, year after year, to draw upon the resources of the country, and diminish the financial reserve which ought to be kept for occasions of great emergency. But that was not all; for in addition to this, this country was labouring under a pressure of 14 millions a year of war taxes, which ought to be reserved for a period of war alone, anti a great portion of which had been imposed especially to meet the exigencies of war ; and not withstanding that, there was still a deficiency of 21 millions a year. Here then was £ state of things which called for the serious and earnest censideration of Parliament, and to meet it there were but twc courses open to them. They must either submit to a chronic deficiency leading to ultimate bankruptcy, or turn to flat other mode of equalising re venue and expenditure—namely, a wise, judicious, and economical retrenchment. He, however, would be a party to no measures by which such reductions should take place in our expenditure as would weaken the necessary defences of the country; but he lad a strong impression that we were spending more then was required by the circum stances of the world, or the state of our own relations. In concluding, the noble earl repeated—The Government have now before them a simple choice between alternatives. Ad ditional taxation is impossible. Renewal of taxation is almost equally impossible. The only alternative, therefore , to which they must look, and to which I trust they will look, is the consideration of an unsparing, but at the same time a judicious and a perfectly safe reduction of the public expenditure. Earl RUSSELL brotght the debate to a close in a speech in which he vindicated the general financial policy of the Government, and argued that the condition of the country was sound and prosperous, and that there was no • thing whatever tojesi* the apprehensions of the alarmists, especially of his noble friend on the cross benches (Lord Overstone.) The bill was then read a third time and passed, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. 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, &c., in different parts of the United Kingdom.

MR. STANSFELD'S MOTION ON THE NATIONAL EXPENDITURE, Lord PALMERSTON gave notice of his intention to move the following amendment on Mr. Stansfeld's forth coming motion on the national expenditure That this house, deeply impressed with the necessity of economy in every department of the state, is at the same time, mindful of its obligation to provide for the security of the country at home and the protection of its interests abroad. That this house observes with satisfaction the decrease which has already been effected in the national expenditure, and trusts that such further diminution may be made therein as the future state of things may warrant." ALTERATION OF PATRONYMICS WITHOUT AUTHORITY. Mr. ROEBUCK 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 ho had assumed; whether the Horse Guards had not refused 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 bad 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 £1 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 he 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 ..barges and imputatienc wur.h had been 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 first instance by the inequality of the sexes in the colonies. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. Colonel IV. PATTEN asked the President of the Board of Trade, whether it ssas the intention of the Government to introduce any measare 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 sueject. Mr, M. GIBSON said that one-half of the existing com panies had got a claese 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 subjec;. He intended to communicate with the chairman of public companies in reference to the mat ter. The whole subect was undergoing consideration, but he could not say, as et present advised, that any bill on the subject would be int'oduced. THE TEST AGAINST THE WARRIOR. Mr. LAIRD askel the Secretary of State for War if the War-office had decried that the Horsfall monster gun should be tested aganst the Warrior and other targets, and if so, when such Uhl would take place ? Sir G. LEWIS slid that some experiments had been made relative to the Warrior, but nothing specific had been decided on the subjeit. MERCFANT SHIPPING ACT. In reply to Lord lOTHAM, Mr. M. GIBSON said he would bring cn this bill on Monday next. PURCIASE IN THE ARMY. Sir DE L. EVAN, on tho motion for going into com mittee, moved that, in the opinion of this house, no further postponement ougla to take place in giving effect to the promises of Govtnment, that the command of regi ments should no longer be purchasable, and that the promotions to thatrank should henceforth be regulated by election upon the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief. The hon. and galant member, who stated that he was labouring under illhealth, was very indistinctly heard, was understood to urg the usual arguments which he has previously advancEd on this subject. Sir G. LEWIS Said that the committee who had dab°. rately investigated this subject in 1860, and which included amongst its members the Duke of Somerset, Mr. Sidney Herbert, and otherdistinguished 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 hz been made. It le as decided that 12 new regiments should 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 alteration in the system would be attended with great difficulties in detail that would practically render it impossible to be carried at the present day. (Hoer.) He also reminded the house f i o m r m re e i d m ia b to urs a i l n t g er t a h ti e on p , er w so h n ic s h wh w o o h u a ld d o amount e t x o p x e n 7 : 1 %0 6:0 f 0, any 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 one to the other, for they were quite dissimilar. lie adverted to the fact that in India where the practice was voluntary and not sancioned by law, it prevailed to a considerable extent. Tho right honour able gentleman went through different other grounds in support of his views, and said that ho must oppose the motion of the hon. and gallant member by moving the previous question. General PEEL objected to the recommendation of the commission, and particularly to the House of Commons in terfering with the command or the discipline of the army. The report of the commission was signed by six out of the ten members of which that body was composed, while the majority of the military members protested against the decision of their colleagues. After some observations from Colonel Nonni, Lord STANLEY spoke at some length in defence of the recommendation of the commissioners, enumerated the various objections which were urged against the existing system of purchase, and passed in review and comb ate d th o se which were put forward in opposition to the proposal to grant Preraotl9ll. by 5910citien) upon the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief. The Government might excuse themselves as they pleased, but as a Cabinet they were certainly pledged to carry out the recommendation of the commissioners. They had formally given a pledge to do so in that house ; and although that pledge might go the way of some other reforms, the present was not an age that was likely to be tolerant of abuse; and he'ventured to say that in a quarter of a century not a reg of the system of pia chase would be remaining. Lord PALMERSTON opposed the motion, addressi,ng himself particularly to the arguments of Lord Stanley, and justified the Government for having changed their purpose. On a division the motion was negatived by 217 _to 62. Colonel DICKSON directed attention to the recent agra rian murders perpetrated in Irel:.in'l, and the organisation, equipment, and employment of the Irish constabulary. He ointed out that the cost of maintaining the police force had increased by £120,000 in the 16 years ending 185 S; and in the four subsequent years it had been augmented to the e t h n e o r e m x p e e ls , s e u o m f p of ro t7 i d 7 i o n , g B6 t B h ; e i m n a en dd w i i d th on b t a o rra wh as ich . th n er e n co w: plained of the largo amount that was expended in the in struction of the force in the use of the Enfield rifle, which he argued was- not a fit weapon to place in - their hands; condemned the system of police centralisation in Dublin ; and contended that the force ought to bo more of a civil, and less of a military character, and be brought more in con tact with the people. He should not move f6r a committee of inquiry, but leave the matter in the hands of the Chief Secretary, in the hope that the right hon. gentleman would give it the consideration to which it was entitled. Mr. SCULLY then rose, and was in the act of address ing the house when an hon. member moved that it be counted. The house was accordingly counted but at 20 mit:rams to eight o'clock, THE NAVY. The launch of the new iron-plated frigate the Prince Consort, which is the late Triumph length ened and increased in strength, will take place at Pembroke dockyard during the month ofJune. She is a remarkably fine vessel. Her burden is 4,000 tons, and her horse-power will be 1,000 nominal. Capt. Oliver Jones, it is stated, will succeed Capt. Wainwright in the command of the Shannon screw frigate, at Portsmouth, on the latter officer commis sioning the Black Prince iron frigate at Portsmouth. The Shannon is named for the West Coast of Africa, Capt. Jones hoisting his broad pendant a Commo dore, and relieving Commodore W. Edmonstone in the Arrogant. The resumption of the experimental screw trials by the Shannon at Portsmouth yester day was postponed, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather. The frigate was taken out of the steam basin and berthed in the harbour, and will resume her trials to day with four of the margin blades on a Griffiths' boss, should the weather moderate. .The Meg:era troopship, Commander Henderson, arrived at Portsmouth last evening, with xeliefs of troops on board, from Jersey. She next proceeds to Alderney with the remainder of the 2d battalion, 18th, and two companies of artillery. A plan has been submitted to the Admiralty by Commander Noddall, Master-Attendant ef the Royal Clarence victualling-yard at Weevil, near Gosport, utilising the space available in Portsmouth harbour, in the immediate vicinity of the dockyard, for berth ing her Majesty's ships afloat. Under the present system each ship swings at her moorings with the tide. The consequence is that a large amount of mooring ground can afford accommodation for but few ships. All must wait until wind and tide allow the swinging craft to lie fairlyup and down the har bour. Commander Noddall proposes to supersede the present swinging moorings with a line of pon toons, each 300 ft in length, moored head and stern at a distance of 500 ft from the dockyard, each pon toon being connected by bridges on a simple plan similar to that carried cut between the gunnery in struction ships Excellent and Illustrious, which lie moored by head and stern chains off the north side of the dockyard. Taking six pontoons to form the line it would give, allowing for the intervals of space between each, a total length of floating double moor ing jetties of 2,000 ft. The connection between this double line of floating jetties and the dockyard would be formed in the centre of the line by a pontoon bridge opening in the middle. This pontoon bridge, which could be formed of the now useless iron mor tar boats lying at Haslar, would give the means of communication between ships moored at the floating jetties and in the dockyard. The 500 ft space between the floating jetties and the dockyard would allow ample space for docking and undocking the Warrior, and other ships of her class. This space it is pro posed to consider as part of the dockyard, and to i preserve for purposes only connected with the dock yard. The breadth of the harbour, measuring at spring tides, low water, is from the mudbank at Bo rough Island to the ship basin, 1,395 ft; from the King's-stairs to the mudbank south of Weevil-creek, 1,440 ft ; and from the south corner of the dockyard wall to the opposite mudland, 2,700 ft. Within this line of soundings it is proposed the line of pontoons shall be moored. Commander Noddall, we believe, has suggested that if pontoons should be thought too expensive, there are plenty of useless ships lying in Portsmouth-harbour, or its creeks above the dock• yard, which could be converted into a pontoon, jetty, or mooring ship. Their conversion to so use ful a purpose would effect the saving of a consider able sum yearly which they now cost in repairs and wages, and for provisions for a regular staff to take charge of them. To keep in repair the machinery of eight paddlewheel steamers now lying in the upper part of Portsmouth harbour, consisting of the Furious, the Fury, the Inflexible, the Penelope, the Retribution, the Sampson, and the Vulture, a few years longer on hand, will involve an expense alone greater in amount than the price their machinery and their hulls broken up would bring if sold. An application of Commander Noddall's plan to the deep-water berthing space of the upper part of the harbour of Portsmouth, in addition to floating jetties, would add immensely to the berthing ac commodation of the harbour, and, in fact, convert the whole harbour into one vast steam basin. The jetty accommodation of Portsmouth Dockyard gives room for only three ships of ordinary size, or for two such as the Warrior or Black Prince. These jetties would still remain available in the event of the floating jetties being formed, while the latter would give additional accommodation for 12 ships of the largest class.
