During the last few days there has been rather less activity exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea, however, has continued at full rates. For sugar there has been a moderate inquiry, at steady prices, while higher rates have been realised for good and fine descriptions of coffee. Rice continued dull, and a slight decline has taken place in the value of saltpetre. At the public sales of colonial wool the rates established at the com mencement have been fully sustained. The tallow market has remained dull, and prices have shown rather less buoyancy for both present and forward delivery. Business was moderately active in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were steady. The sales were about 6,000 bales. About £24,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Hansa from New York has brought £46,000 in specie. A sum of £4,075 has been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers, on account of New Granada Dividends. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remit tance on account of the Ecuatorian Dividend Fund of £1,053. Thursday next has been appointed a special settling day in the shares of the Rio Janeiro City Improvement Company, and dealings are to be officially recorded. The traffic receipts of the South Eastern Railway for the last week show a decrease of £1,159. There is a steady demand for money at previous rates, the payments of the 4th having created very little influence. The Funds have remained very quiet to-day, the settlement of the account occupying almost exclu sive attention. Upon the whole, however, the qnotations are firmer than they were at the close of business yesterday afternoon, Consols being 931 f i for transfer and 931 in for the 10th April. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 911, 928; Exchequer Bills at 19s. to 225. prem. ; India Stock has improved to 226; and ditto 5 per Cent. 106 f and 1071.. Very little business has been transacted in the Foreign Market, and prices show no material alte ration. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 85 to 851 ; ditto, 1858, 72 1. Mexican are steady at 341 35 ; Vene zuelan firm at 251 ; and Italian have improved to 678 t. The Ottoman Loan is 64-1 651 ; and -the New Italian, 1 to 2 dis. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been moderately active, but a slight down ward movement has taken place in prices. Great Westerns, North Westerns, and Midlands have declined 55., and Bristol and Exeter and Caledonian 10a.; Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, South Westerns, and South Easterns, however, have im proved about ss. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a limited inquiry, without any material change in prices. Great Luxemburg realise 1111 ; San Paulo 61 2 ; Grand Trunk of Canada 27 ; Great Western of Canada 13t ; East Indian 1021 s ; and Great Indian Peninsula 101 f. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are in fair demand, at fully late rates. Bank of London advanced to 82 ; Union of London to 331 ; Crystal Palace Stock to 35 and 35f ; London General Omnibus Company realise 14 ; and Van Diemen's Land 92.

Victor Julien made his re-appearance last night after a week's absence, arising from indisposition. He was received with considerable applause. There 'Were certainly no traces of his recent illness ob servable in the style of his performances, which 'were characterised by all the daring and flexibility of his happiest efforts on the trapeze. We notice a decided advance in point of gracefulness in Victor Julien, and in this particular—the stronghold of Leotard—we don't now see much difference between the tw o professors. To Julien we feel compelled t° accord the palm as a venturesome performer, who succeeds in presenting much more thrilling Pictures to the audience, and in evoking corres- Paneling interest. SAILU_RE OF A S4NIIA.RY EN7E.R- IRISE. The Rugby Board cf Health is seriously embar taBsed by the discovery that the plan which it has Pursued for four years, and upon which it has spent £ 4 ,000, for supplying the town with water, has ir remediably failed. The increasing population of th e town has for a long time made the scanty sup- P l y of water at present obtainable a growing incon venience, and Mr. Hawkesley was called in to advise t he board. That gentleman, after informing him self of the facts, gave his decided opinion that the river Avon was the only feasible source from which an adequate supply could be obtained. But the opposition of the neighbouring owners of water mills and other difficulties on the one hand, and the narrowness of the powers at their command on the other, determined the board to look elsewhere for the desired supply. In an evil hour, Mr. Hawkes lay was induced to suggest that relief from their dif teulties might be found by boring down to the water bearing strata of the new red sandstone, The boring h as reac h ed the water- b ear i ng strata o f thi s f ormation, but it has also reached a deposit of rock salt, the existence of which was wholly unsuspected, and the salt dissolving in the water brought up by the bore-hole communicates to it a degree of braek ash salinity which renders it unfit for food, as well as for all ordinary domestic purposes. From an analysistakn of sampl es which have been successively eatsthatett salinitypehseciinn y has sinadil in creased,itunaPtilP in the la there vVere found 1,256 grains of sali ne matter in the gallon o water. Of f Of these 777 grains cons i sted of chloride of or common salt, the rem a i n i ng constituents being principally sulphate of soda, or Glauber's salt and sulphate of magnesia, or Epsom sa l t, with a ' small - proportion of carbonate of lime and traces of bromine, iodine, and lithium. Further boring into the salt bed would probably i ncrease the saltness of the water to the degre e w hi c h Would make it available as a brine spring for salt -works ; or, if the boring were continued to the n9xt subjacent formation—the perrnian—it is improbable n Ot that abundance of good water 'would "be fount.', but this stratum lies many hundred f eet below the bottom of the bore-hole, and could only be reached by the adoption of a costly appa l'at us, and the e xpenditure of a condiderable amount of time and money. For the water which they so p r obably need the Rogbians must now look elsewhere, s hould to the A von, to which they must, we ruld think, have a better right than the mill law:ere. As for the Lno.'ley expended, it is probably I C beyond recovery, un2ess some one will buy the h ti ;e, and continue the boring to that point at which fo e e water would become a brine spring, serviceabled water or salt" the works, or perhaps a spa might be instituted n as Dr. Odling hat; reported that the "would doubtless prove an efficient saline Purgative, and the small quantities of bromine, g lee, and lithium would enhance its therapeutic qualities. -...Doily News. .~-~ SHARE MARKET-(THIS DAY.)

He saw the prisoner strike Mr. Wincott, and Mr. IN incott struck him again in self defence. The four men had a scuffle with the deceased to endeavour to get into the shop. Mr. Win cott then called out, " I'm stabbed." One of the men—he did not think it was the prisoner—had a chopper in his hand flourishing it over his head. One of them called out, " Rip the -- guts out." He saw the prisoner stab Mr. Wincott with a knife, which he took from the shop board. The knife belonged to the deceased. [The knife, which was produced, was one ordinarily used by butchers.] He (witness) had been using the knife about five minutes before. The prisoner dug the knife into the pit of the deceased's stomach. He attempted to stab Mr. Wincott a second time, but was prevented. When Mr. Wincott was stabbed he pointed to Quail, and said, " That's the man." All the men were drunk. guaranteed 5 per s oent. Gt. W. ot Canada Shares Do. New . . •• • Do. 6 p.o. '73 with't opt.

William Bytes, a bone-boiler, residing at Hackney-wick, said that on the 3d of February he was taking bones from Mr. Wincott's shop. The prisoner and three other men began throwing everything about that stood in front of the trademen's shops. They took the bones out of the cart and threw them into the road. Quail went into the shop, and Mr. Wincott ordered him out. Quail struck Wincott, and Mr. Wincott struck him again.

There was a good deal of confusion, but he did not see Mr. Wincott strike Quail with one of the bones. Dennis Shee said he saw the prisoner stab Mr. Wincott with a knife which he took from the shop board. He (wit ness) prevented Quail stabbing Mr. Wincott a second time. By Mr. Sleigh—There was great confusion about the shop dcor. lie did not see Wincott strike the prisoner, He had known the prisoner all his life, and he always con sidered him a harmless, hard-working m an . 'Several other witnesses gave corroborative evidence, which closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sleigh, in an eloquent speech for the prisoner, con. Vended that the crime amounted only t o manslaughter. The learned judge having summed up th e ev id ence, The jury retired to consider their verdict, but had no returned when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) TILL STEALING, John Hall and Daniel George were indicted for attempt ing to steal certain moneys from the shop of the prosecutor. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner Hall entered tie shop, 68, Leadenhall-atreet, occupied as a sta tioner's, and asked to be served with a sheet of writing paper. He was supplied with the article and left the shop, but in a short time returned and said the paper was not the required. The wife of the prosecutor, who served the man, took him to the end of the shop to select what he wanted from the stock. While she was so engaged the prisoner George cane in, and after waiting a short time she saw hies reach over the counter and take from the till a bag contain ing 56 sovereigns. She ran towards him and seized him, and between them they managed to get the money out of the bag, whici was thrown on the counter. While she was engaged in the struggle with the man a person entered the shop, and she called to him to lock the door, which was done, and a constable arriving, both prisoners were taken into custody. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Recorder sentenced them to nine months' imprison. went. STEALING A POST LETTER.

AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF.—John Kew, 15, was charged by Felix Bl' Mahon, 165 C, with stealing a large piece of cheese from the window of a shop in Grafton-street. Mickleborough, a constable of the A division, said the lad had been convicted at Bow-street aud also at that court. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was committed for six m' nths with hard labour. WORK FOR THE EXHIBITION—A DEAR PAIR OF BOOTB.--In a case which occurred before Mr. Tyrwbitt yesterday, being a complaint by Mr. Atloff, bootmaker, of Bond-street, against a workman named John Deighton for detaining a pair of boots and the materials for a pair of side spring boots, it was elicited that the defendant was to have .£7 for making the boots, they being intended for the forthcoming Exhibition. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the amount was very exces sive. TDIS DAPS SHIPPING. The defendant said he was a first-class workman, and he had known £l2 to bo paid to a workman for a pair of boots for a similar purpose. The defendant tried to make out that he had a lien on the materials, but Mr. Tyrwhitt, considering he had failed in doing so, ordered the materials claimed by Mr. Atloff to be given up.

After the usual waste of time consumed in the settling, occasioned by the unnecessary number of agents, the business upon forthcoming events was entered into, but with little or no spirit. The Nottingham Handicap was introduced, but only one animal appeared to find favour with the speculative, Nightingale, who was in much re quest in the City this morning, and 4 to 1 taken eagerly, being freely supported at sto 2. The Liverpool Steeple chase gave evidence of "want of confidence." Many would, but were intimidated. For instance, at the Club Jealousy was "put in," a la Dutch auction, at 20 to 1, and after some finessing 25 to 1 was laid; but subsequently the layer cooled down, and she was backed at 20 to 1; but those, it appeared, who performed in the City had occasion to seek the wise men of the West, and readily accepted 100 to 6. Beyond this movement little or nothing was done. For the Northampton Stakes and the Metropolitan a couple each were supported at the odds given in our index. THE Two THOUSAND GUIKEAS.—OId Calabar did not appear in much request, 100 to 30 being repeatedly offered at the close of the room without a reply ; the same demon stration, as will be seen from our return, was exhibited against him for the Derby. The Marquis appears, from the eagerness of his supporters, to have recovered his tem. per, or the confidence of his trainer, 7 to 1 having been re peatedly taken about him by those who are accredited to know. 10 to 1 was accepted about Wingrave, and Hubert was in force at 100 to 8. THE CHESTER CuP.—The quotations given below will fully represent the business transacted upon this "puzzle." THE DERBY.—OId Calabar appeared to have a host of opponents. After repeated offers of his closing price last Thursday, without meeting with a customer, the layers gained heart, and at last 9 to 1 was laid to £75, which we believe was the only transaction in which Sir R. Bulkeley'■ colt figured. Ensign was backed for money at 16 to 1, and Malek at 25 to 1. From the outside division Caterer and Hubert were in most request, the former being freely sup ported at 25 to 1, and the latter at 33. Vanguard was mentioned, as also Cellarius, at their quoted odds. Mr Ward's Ellangowan was inquired after and backed at 3,500 to 35, and similar odds were taken about the French representative, Choisy le Roi. BETTING AT M ANCHESTER—MONDAT. For the Nottingham Handicap Ducat and Miss Eva colt were alternate favourites ; 7 to 2 was, during the day, taken about each of them; of course one receded a little as the other advanced ; but at the close Miss Eva colt was in the ascendant. A little was done on : Nightingale and Don caster. For the Little John Stakes, the same thing oc curred with Princess Louisa and Livingstone, 3 to 1 being taken about each of them, and closing at 3 to 1 (offered) on the field. Phantom was backed for the City and Suburban, and for the Chester Cup Agag had a few friends. For the Grand National, although 10 to 1 was taken about The Dane, the only animal in force was The Huntsman.

THE UNDERGROUND RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the open cutting of the line of the above railway from Ring's cross to Bagnigge-wells-road, opposite the Police-court, was completed. A brick wall, about eight feet high above the roadway, is substantially built the whole distance from the Cross to Bagnigge- wells-road. At this spot commences th ,e portion of the line which passes underground through he tunnel opposite Clerkenwell Workhouse,. which part of he tunnel is completed. The first arch of the communion ion between the road and the tunnel was yesterday locked, as expressed by the navvies. The ethers will be rapidly carried to the proposed terminus adjoining Farringdon street, on the north side of Holborn, and which was com menced on Saturday last. Considerable progress has been made in the construction of the open cutting along the Fleet Valley, from the Sessions House to Farringdon-street. FOOT RACE BETWEEN DEEBFOOT AND W. LANG. —A six mile race came off at Mr. Baum's enclosed pedes trian ground, Hackney Wick, yesterday afternoon, between Deerfoot, the celebrated Indian runner, and William Lang, of Middlesborough. This is the last of the Indian's matches at any of the London grounds, he being engaged in a num ber of "gate-money performances" at Leeds and numerous other places. The stake was £5O. To complete the dis tance the men had to make the circuit of the course fqrty one times. Lang's height is sft 7in, while that of the Indian is sft llin. A good deal of speculation took place on the result, Deerfoot being the favourite. The men got off on very easy terms, and one of the most exciting races ever witnessed took place between them, the men passing and re-passing each other until they had run five miles and a quarter, when Lang, who had run himself to a standstill, gave up, and Deerfoot finished by himself. Time, 311 minutes. , MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DROWNING OF A SENIOR MEMBER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.—We have re ceived intelligence of the death by drowning of Mr. George Rankine Luke, M.A., student and tutor of Christ Church. A waterman was steering a boat down the river Isis yes terday afternoon, and when in Kennington Reach he dis covered an outrigger dingey turned upside down. The waterman raised an alarm, and the drags were procured. The conjectures of those on the spot were speedily realised by the discovery of the corpse of Mr. Luke, which was taken to the Isis Tavern, Iffley Island, at Kennington, to await the coroner's inquisition. Every effort was made to restore animation. Mr. Luke was known as a man of great ability in the university, havingin 1858 gained the Gaisford prize; in 1859 the Ireland scholarship; and subsequently been elected from Balliol to a studentship at Christ Church. Mr. Luke was generally respected, and great anticipations were entertained of his usefulness by the college of which he was a member, 1001 1021 i FOEEIUN Algerian . Antwerp & Rotterdam.

The Bishop of WORCESTER presented similar peti tions. THE TAXING MASTERS IN IRELAND. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said on Thursday he should present a petition relative to certain rivers in Rosccm mon, and also ask whether the appointment of a third taxing master to the Court of Chancery in Ireland was to be a permanent or temporary one, as he found that one taxing master in the English Court of Chancery taxed more costs than the whole three did in Ireland, 1 DECLARATION OF TITLES BILL. Lord CRAN WORTH, in moving the second reading of this bill, said the subject was to many a very dull one, and had been incidentally touched upon by the Lord Chancellor when he brought the subject under their consideration the other evening. To their lordships, however, the subject was one of great importance. He would not trouble the house going into the theoretical part of the question, but he should prefer dealing with it in a practical manner. Every one knew that in the transfer of land very great difficulty and unnecessary expense existed, so that that measure he thought which would meet with the greatest amount of support was that which tended to simplify, economise, and render safe the sale and purchase of land. In 1858, when he had the honour to hold the Great Seal, a commission which had examined the subject made its report, and he felt it his duty to embody the recommendations in a bill which he submitted to Parliament, which was of a similar character as the Encumbered Estates Act, which had con ferred so much benefit on Ireland. Shortly after, how ever, he resirned the Great Seal, and the measure did not reach the other House of Parliament until too late in the session to be proceeded with, and consequently the subject dropped. In 1859 his hon. and learned friend who then held the office of Solicitor-General introduced two bills on the same subject, founded on the report of 1857, but that learned gentleman's efforts did not meet with success, and the subject had slept until the present time. The bill that tha noble and learned lord on the 'woolsack had introduced on the subject of the transfer of land would entail an expense of at least £15,000 a year for salaries and other expenses, which he (Lord Cranworth) considered to be totally unnecessary, and he thought the subject could be dealt .with by the parties going, under certain regulations to the Court of Chancery, and the outlay for a new court would be alto gether saved. What he (Lord Cranworth) proposed, and what he could not help saying appeared to him the only practical mode of dealing with the question, was this—that whenever a transaction in land took place a notice of it should be written on the back of the deed. In that way the state of the title would appear at all times, and a pur chaser would take with full notice. Lord CHELMESFORD was desirous that the question of titles should go before a select committee with the view of applying themselves to the best means of remedying the difficulties which now beset the question. The LORD CHANCELLOR had hoped that these bills would be sent before the select committee for consideration without controversy. The bill was then read a second time; as were the fol lowing bills :—Security of Purchases Bill, Transfer of Land Bill, Titles of Landed Estates Bill, Registry of Landed Estates Bill, and Real Property (Title of Put.. chasers) Bill. All these bills were ordered to be referred to a select committee. The Transfer of Landed Estates Bill was postponed. Their lordships Atm-rued at a few minutes past eigh o'clock, MOUSE OF COMMONS -YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir J. D. HAY took the oaths and his seat on his elec. tion for the borough of Wakefield. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time : - Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway—Hatfield and Saint Albans Railway—Kettering and Thrapstone Rail way—London and Midland Junction Railway—London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (New Lines) —Mer thyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway—Stafford and Uttozeter Railway—Tendring Hundred Railway —Wel lington, Drayton, and Newcastle Railway—Keni County Gaol and Lunatic Asylum (Water Supply). PETI TrONS. Petitions were presented against the Parochial Assess. ment Bill, the Revised Code of Education, the unqualified abolition of church rates, and any alteration in the law re. lating to marriage with a deceased wife's sister. TRAINING BOYS FOR THE ROYAL NAVY. On the motion of Sir F. SMITH, a return was ordered, showing the cost in detail of training boys for the Royal Navy, and the nature and general extent of the education they received. THE INNS OF COURT. Sir J. BOWYER gave notice that to• morrow week he would ask for leave to bring in a bill jor the better govern ment of the Inns of Court CHURCH-RATES ABOLITION BILL. Sir C. DOUGLAS gave notice that on Wednesday next he wculd move, on the order of the day for the second read ing of the Church Rates Abolition Bill, that the same should be postponed until after Easter, in order that the subject might be fully discussed. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTES. Sir F. KELLY , gave notice that on the motion for going into Committee of Supply on Friday next, he would bring the subject under the consideration of the. house, and ask the Government for information as to the course they in tended to pursue in reference to it. COLONIAL EXPENDITURE. Mr. BAXTER gave notice that he would bring the subject of colonial expenditure before the house. ALLEGED INSULT TO THE ITALIAN CONSUL AND OTHERS AT MALTA, Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information had been received that great outrage and insult was offered to the dwellings and persons of the Italian Consul'and of Signor Fabrizzi, Deputy to the Italian Parliament, and other Italian gentle. men, on the occasion of the Fete of St. Paul, at Malta, on the 9th and 10th February, the authors of which were pre sumed to be Neapolitan and Sicilian Bourbon refugees. Mr. LAYARD said that representations had been made to her Majesty's Government by the Italian Executive, to the effect that, on the day mentioned, certain insults were offerei to the gentlemen in question, by persons who were supposed to be Neapolitan or other Italian refugees. An inquiry had been instituted into the subject. ARREST OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SUMTER. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information had been received that the captain of the Sumter had been arrested at Tan giers at the instance of the American Consul at Gibraltar and the captain of the Tuscarora; and, if so, whether it was supposed that any pressure had been put on the Moorish Government by the American officials, or any in fringement of the independence of the territory of Morocco had taken place in such transaction f' Mr. LAYARD said that it appeared the arrests alluded to had taken place in conformity with the law of Morocco, abryrewshts of ichcopnesruls persons s stationed tispec , ted intentionsoke or , for qu e s a t n i o y n other had towards m is con d u t c h t . e H r o e s w p e ct e v e been released from confin ement. ethGeovgeernutraleemnatsn, CAB TRAFFIC 1 HROUGH HYDE-PARK DURING THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mr. W. BEAUMONT asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, with the view of relieving the crowded state of Park-lane, there would be any objection to open Hyde-park between Stanhope-gate and Apsley-gate for the passage of cabs while the International Exhibition is open ? Mr. COWPER said that Hyde-park was already so crowded with carriages, and when the addition of a number of other conveyances was proposed, it was very question able whether suce would be a public convenience. It was impossible to tell at present what would be the increased number of vehicles that would pass through Park-lane to the Exhibition, and until that was shown in some degree at the opening of the Exhibition, it would not be adiisable to make any arrangement relative to the subject. CONVERSION OF THE LIGHT DRAGOONS INTO HUSSARS. Captain STACPOOLE asked the Secrefary of State for War, why the 3d, 4th, 13th, and 14th late Light Dragoons were changed into Hussars, and—whether there was any difference in the weight of their appointments; also, if the officers had or would receive any compensation in conse quence of the expense they have been put to by the change of uniform, and if the men of those regiments had or would receive any compensation in lieu of their old clothing. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the alteration was made in conformity with the recommendation of the committee of officers, presided over by the Commander-in-Chief, No alteration would take place in the uniforms until the present clothes were worn out. RETIRING OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Col. GILPIN asked the Secretary of State for India if he would lay upon the table the report of the commission rs who were assembled in India to consider upon what terms officers of the Indian army to whom no active em ployment could be found should be permitted to retire ' • and also the decisio n of the Home Government in reference to the recommendation of such commissionners ? Sir C. WOOD said that he did not consider it advisable was to lay any repor t on this sub j ect un the table. He` re peated what he st ated on a former occasion, and said expected a large number of Indian officers would accept o o u n. d g b er e itleman if the terms offered by Government. Major KNOX asked the right would promo tion of officers engaged in Indiaadia the a i by seniority f N L t G m N M E A r R T . K I : T i °cal ) .

'~:~.; K -- signed, and that Signor Ratazzi had been called on to form a Ministry, BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND REGISTRATION (IRE LAND) BILL. Mr. HENNESSY said that he had a motion on the paper in reference to the Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration (Ireland) Bill, to the effect that, on the mo tion for the second reading of that bill, 'that it should be read a second time that day six months. He pro posed to alter that amendment by a motion affirming that it was not expedient to employ the police as registrars of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland. TROOPS SERVING IN INDIA. Mr. H. BAILLIE drew the attention of the house to the want of system which prevailed in relieising her Majesty's troops serving in India, and contended that an alteration was required. Sir C. WOOD entered into an explanation, from which it appeared that it was arranged that the term of service in future would be 10 years abroad and five at home. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved the follow.ng resolu tion :---That it is the opinion of this house that all moneys required on account of the raising, training, &c,, officers and men for service in India, and all other expenses con nected therewith, shall be voted in this house in a separate estimate; and that all such moneys shall be repaid into the British Exchequer by the Indian Government. Sir G C. LEWIS said, as this question had no bearing whatever on the estimates before the house, the course re commended by the hon. baronet would not be advisable. Col. SYKES observed that in the year 1862-3 there were 75,899 men in India, and 7,629 belonging to the same regi ments in depot here, making 36,500 men. A capitation of £lO upon that number would yield a sum of £865,000, and allowing £3 10s, for the non-effective members of the ser vice, this would give a sum of £1,300,000 transferred from India annually, and put into the hands of the people of this country. He thought the hon. baronet was right in saying that the house ought to have these accounts separately. If 12,000 men could do so much in 1857, when there were 100,000 opposed to them—when Oude was in rebellion, and so many native princes were adverse —could it be possible, now that the whole of India was at their feet, and nothing to oppose them, that they required 83,000 troops? He appealed to common sense whether that could be necessary? Of the European troops sent out, 7 ,;.+er cent, died and 3 per cent. were disabled ; and the people of England had a right to inquire whether it was necessary to spend so much of the young blood of this country in India. (Hear.) The fact was they had lost that confidence in themselves whieh they possessed when India was under the rule of the East India Company. It was the expense occasioned by this large number of troops that necessitated an import duty of 10 per cent, on the cotton goods sent from this country to India, and the imposition of an income tax in India. His hon, friend the member for Inverness was mistaken in supposing the massacres in India would not have taken place if they had had a larger force in India at the time of the mutiny, for these massacres took place in out-of-the-way localities, which would not have been adequately protected even if they had l,el 200,000 troops in the country. if the hon. baronet divided the house he would vote with him. Mr. AYRTON said that the two armies having been amalgamated he thought the Government would h ave ex posed themselves to serious animadversion if they had pre. seated separate accounts. The sum required was now pe e ... sented in one view, and it was not necessary to search the different accounts of India and of this country to ascertain the exact state of them, The present system was simple and economical, and gave a larger measure of control to the house over the estimates. Mr. HENL - EY did not think the present mode of pre senting the accounts was at all satisfactory. Were the people of this country to pay £15,300,000, or were they to pay £985,000 less, If they were to pay the former, then the people of this country, including the constituents of the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, would have to pay ld. in the pound more income tax. If they were to pay £15,300.000 in the first instance, and were to get back £985,000 from the Indian revenue, then the estimate ought languaget. o e laid u b s e e f d o r v e a t h house s e somewhat o sin a e n mo cl r u e detailed it shape. tb:egan raisin g by T a, n‘ h id e t ewrnasollaevyerwyouacld is estimated," and it wen t on to sa e y t , e t e h te a r t a t , h , btrearequired f f o troops,r cer t a ‘t i n o u rpTohsae That , esti mated." (Laughter.) They were asked to vote 1,000,000 above what was supposed to be necessary for the service of the country. The principle on which that was done might be a fair one, but it did not appear on the face of the estis mate. The amalgamation had nothing to do with it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was quite true, as stated by his right hon. friend, that the arrangement which had been made between this country and India was capable of being considered apart from the amalgamation of the two armies, and might have been adopted when the two armies were distinct. There existed formerly two heads of expenditure incurred by Great Britain on account of India for which this country had a claim to reimbursement—namely, for effective and non effective services. For the non-effective services the Indian Government were to pay £60,000. But the House of Com mons never beard of the charge, and never heard of the reimbursement. They never heard of the charge, because the whole of the non-effective services were put into a lump, and there was no power of distinguishing in detail how much was charged to any one service and how much to another. The reimbursement was never heard of, be cause the £60,000 was not presented as a deduction from the estimate. Mr. HENLEY—It used to be. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER--Certainly never, so far as he had any cognisance of the finances of the country. That £60,000 was never heard of by the House of Commons, because it was put into the expenditure, and was taken credit for by the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he presented the budget to the house as a portion of the miscellaneous revenue of the country. Now, in lieu of the £60,000 there would be a payment varying according to the number of men serving from time to time in India; therefore, it was impossible to do more than had been done on the paper, to estimate approximately the amount forth coming under this head. Instead of lumping the sum, they took a fixed sum per man according to the number of men serving from time to time in India. They took £3 10s. per man in the non-effective service, instead of X 60,000. With regard to the effective service, the old principle was this, that the War Department and the Indian Govern meat settled the matter together without the accounts being presented to this house. The War Department was reimbursed the (rasa amount which the Indian depots had cost the country in the first instance. In lien of that system it was recommended, and the recommenda tion was in accordance with the soundest principles of finan cial administration, that the whole charges should be voted by the house, that the actual cost of them should be esti mated as nearly as possible, and upon the foundation of that estimate that any repayment should be made from the In dian revenue. Ht.ving estimated the cost of the non-effec tive service, after careful examination, at £3 10s. per man, it was considered that a sum of £lO per man would be a 'proper amount to fix in lieu of the effective serv ice. . These charges for the effective and non-effective . s . e h rvic e e r s would be estimated, for reimbursement, t a la t at so ba m sis repay ment on the army serving in India, mbeiscinelaldae apprehension had been expressed l est miscella neous t ts h w ree o vE u e lnndug revenue. English nE a d x e eh ; e b q u u t er t , on that of wouldthe being under a permanent advance to India with. necessity of h a e nd re ro a r any m md p e ct to these military charges. On the contrary, the the peoples of this country were going to be put under the arrangement respe would operate in such a manner that prac tically this country would be under no advance. Hereto fore it had been under a serious advance, on account of the effective charges, but now the present settlement would enable them to make the repayments at very short inter vals, he believed, from month to month, and there would be brought back into the British Exchequer as nearas pos sible within the financial year, under the head of miscella neous revenue, the p rec i se sum that had been paid effect out of under the had of army expenditure. The Statement of the .Chan_ eellor o f the Exchequer whoeud be to swell the avera ge would include the cost of th e this arrangement on the financial amount of charge, because had never appear t e h d e in ways and mesns, effective service connected theestimates before. A s t o the with the Indian army, w hi c h the money went out f rom the War prac ti ca lly as quick as y wo uld find themselves, b ecause the p a y men ts would come back from the Indian G overnment Department. In answer to Sir S. N ORTHCOT F , C. LEWIS said that, of course, in an estimate of this sort the charge was made on an average. The subj ec t was fully considered by a committ ee composed partly of gen tlemen from the Indi a - o ffi ce and partly of gentlemen Sir G. from the War-office. They agreed that the £lO per head was a fair average charge, though extreme ;cases might Occur. Sir E. COLEBROORE hoped the Government would give the house some explanation of the data for arriving at the £lO per head, which they seemed to have themselves required. Mr. HENLEY pointed out, by reference to the estimates of 1854, that a sum of £60,000 was paid under the 4th Geo. IV. into the British Exchequer by the East India Com pany, and at a time when the right hon. gentleman was Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir C. WOOD said the old practice was that the moment an English regiment was put on the Indian establishment, the whole expense connected with that regiment was trans ferred as a charge on the Indian revenue. All the charges with respect to it were paid in this country by the Wan. ~f 6ce, and were repaid by the Indian.finances. The evil of that that arrangement was that the War-office had no interest keeping down the expenses ; and the Indian Govern ment,means who were charged with the payment., had no f n k keeping i nt the itp present rate rTahtee per head committee a r e s c a o m te m wi tepnwodroeurlyndt homgeeraaedeauotplrye until further inquiry was made, and sa or id many years past simplify the accounts.
