PR rcE .... --4 cl• STAMPED ....M. matter anything to the Government, provided the men acquired knowledge, where they got that knowledge (Hear, hear.) Instead of the system proposed, it would surely be better to throw the education of persons intended for the army open to the world. Let them receive it where they would, and let whatever special military training might be required be given afterwards, but given only to those who had obtained commissions, only to be forfeited in case of misconduct. Mr. DEEDES did not see how there could be any hard ship in requiring young men who were to obtain commis sions without purchase to remain a year in a place where of all others they were most likely to receive an education and training which would fit them to discharge the duties of the profession for which they were destined. Mr. AYRTON reminded the house that the system pro • posed to be tried had been tested with a view to the ad mission of persons to the civil service in India. It had been given up because it was found inconvenient and unjust. If the plan of the noble lord the member for King's Lynn was adopted, all . the objections to the system would, he thought, be removed. Education should be free, and there should be no compulsion as to the place where it was to be imparted. Injust ice was done by the proposition of the Go vernment to the various educational establishments through out the kingdom, and also to the young men who would have to come to this country from Ireland and Scotland on the chance of passing, but with the certainty that two-thirds of the entire number would be rejected. Their families would thus be made miserable, and they would themselves be prejudiced by being specially educated for a profession which they could not attain. Lord PALMERSTON said it had been contended that Young men should be allowed to get their general education where they liked. So, in fact, they were. What was re quired of them was to remain at Sandhurst for one year, in order to receive a special education. A young man on being nominated to Sandhurst was examined,to ascertain whether, at one of the universities, at school, or at home, he had re ceived that general education which was considered neces sary as a foundation for the military instruction which it was requisite he should receive, and which it was obvious could best be given him at a military college. (Hear, hear.) How could it be expected that a person desirous of making the army his profession could at the Universities of Cam bridge, Oxford, or Dublin, acquire that knowledge of mili tary discipline it was indispensable he should possess P There seemed to be some confusion during the debate be tween the terms general knowledge and military knowledge. It had been said that a different system answered with re gard to civil and scientific appointments. No doubt it did, and for this reason, that the information requisite for these appointments could be as well, or even better, acquired at universities or schools than at military seminaries. (Hear, hear.) What had been said during the discussion by mili tary men was not reasonable, namely. that a knowledge of the duties required of a young man when he obtained his commission could best be obtained at an establishment like Sandhurst, where he should practise those duties which he would have to discharge when he joined the army. (Hear, hear.) The amendment was then withdrawn. Sir S. M. PETO moved the omission of the item £71,000 for the survey of Great Britain, upon the ground that no decision should be come to upon the 25. inch scale till the committee upon the subject had presented its report. Sir G. C. LEWIS observed that fora long time past there had always been inquiries pending upon the question of the ordnance survey, and he believed a great deal of money had been wasted upon it. (Hear, hear.) At the same time this was the plan which, after much inquiry, Parliament seemed to have agreed to. Sir S. M. PETO only wished to have an opportunity of deciding the question upon its merits upon the report of the committee. If the house had already decided, where was the use of the committee ? The question was whether they were to spend £1,500,000 upon a great plan which might or might not be the best, but upon the merits of which inquiry was still pending. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the hon. gentleman did not understand precisely the effect of the present vote or the purposes to which it was intended to be applied. Neither his right hon. friend nor himself wore members of the committee, and therefore they might not be fully aware of the points at issue in the committee. They were, however, now going forward with the survey upon a large scale for a certain portion of the country, and that portion had been in hand a considerable time, but it did not embrace the whole of England. It embraced Scot land and six northern counties, and if he understood the question to which the hon. gentleman referred as likely to be illustrated by the report of the committee, it was whether the 25-inch scale should extend to the whole of England. That the vote had nothing to do with. That was a question which he was as anxious as the hon. member should receive the fullest discussion, but the present vote was only in. tended to carry forward works in progress, and not for any extension of the works. Mr. WYLD remarked that the hon. gentleman had a precedent for the course which he proposed to take, for in 1859 the committee of supply postponed the survey vote because the commission upon the subject had not made its report. There was really involved in the vote under dis cussion the whole question of the scale of the ordnance survey of England. The committee then divided. For the amendment .............. 43 Against it .... The vote was then agreed to. REVENUE DEPARTMENTS.—ESTIMATE S. £750,000, salaries and expenses of the customs depart ment. Sir F. BARING, who was most imperfectly heard, was understood to ask for the returns of the department which had been furnished to the audit board, in compliance with the suggestions of a committee. Mr. PEEL said that the audit board was taking steps to comply with the suggestions of the committee in question. The vote was agreed to. £1,382,274, inland revenue. £2,084,608, post-office. £535,834, superannuation of the three departments. The above votes were severally agreed to without discus sion, and the house resumed. OFFICERS COMMISSIONS BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this bill, Mr. HENNESSY said the Home Secretary, when he brought in this bill, stated that it was of little importance, but he (Mr. Hennessy) thought it of great importance. He be lieved that the Queen had power under the royal warren to do all that this bill proposed. This bill, therefore, was f not necessary, and it was an invasion of the royal preroga tive. For some years the practice of the Queen affixing the sign manual to commissions had fallen into abeyance, and they were told that when the Queen had signed what was called the submission list, and that list appeared in the Gazette, the commission from that time took effect- This was the first time that a bill of this kind khad been brought in without a message fro m the crown. The last llwa ist a messageroughtinvias was sent inlS3 fo,rbeni the crown,nt previous to its tim e le suching ab brought i stating that in consequence of illness the king was unable to sign his name. An address was then presented from both houses, and a bill was afterwards passed. In 1719, when the then King George I. was going to Hanover, the question arose as to the signing of commissions in his ab sence, and the difficulty was got over by a royal warrant, authorising persons named therein to sign commissionsf Why should they now be discussing a bill the object o which was to give her Majesty a power which she had often already exercised, and which her predecessors had con stantly used. Cases might arise wherein it might be ex ceedingly inconvenient to wait till an Act of Parliament could be passed, but in which, but for the precedent which this bill would establish, a royal warraiat might have suf ficed. He begged, therefore, to move that the bill be re committed, and that it be an instruction to the committee to provide against any infringement of the royal preroga tive, and to secure the temporary duration of the Act. Sir G. LEWIS would not say that the hon. gentleman was " Ipsis Hibernicis Hibemior," but he was more roy alist than the Queen, for he had set himself to defend her Majesty's prerogative against her Majesty's Government. (Laughter.) There was nothing in the bill whatever to en danger the rights of the Crown. So far as ho (the right hon. baronet) knew no military commission was complete unless it had received the sign manual. Naval commissions, . t was true, were merely signed by the Lords of the Admi ralty; but it had been held by Lord Ellenborou g h at nisi prius, and was settled law, that it was necessary for an officer in the army to produce his commission, in order to prove his military character; and th at the production of the Gazette would not be sufficient. No doubt where there was the sign manual the counter signature of a responsible minister was also necessary , bu t that rule did not apply to military commissions alone. There had been a whole series of legislation on this subject, and if it had been com petent to the Crown to dispe nse with the signature of the Crown to commissions it would have been exer cised. The original rule was all that commissions wer e suspended at the death of the sovereign; and in the reign of William 111. an act was passed prolonging commissions for six months after the demise of the sovereign, That enactment showed th at the prerogative of the cr own . did not extend be y ond the reign of the sovereign, and it was necessa r y to have . recourse to the legislatubre, m The Act N G vh e c o n rg t e h l e V k . i , n t g o N‘VvialslChunthaeblhe memberake hisreferred, was passed signa ture, and the power then conferred on the Secretary of State was not confined to commissions, Anactof the Ist Vi t commissions b w e h s o at ll i y sfa ts c u t —erfluou ory d c h: was passed, reciting that all must righteuner the s i gn manual ; and if' th e h en, gentleman ps H w e erethis act p w l o an ul a d ti h en av v, e ,e b u e l e d n trusted that ex (Hear.)

CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS. Just published, DR EA M LAN D. With other Poems, By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law. Fcap. Bvo., price 58. " Mr. 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 paintin g the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. "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. Brit it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. `Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND ' is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. 6 f he 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 metrical 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 think, is that of Scott.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Aedical Circular. obliged to confess that he had fallen into error in his state ment on this point. But the noble and learned lord was more inaccurate than he thought he was. He (Lord Chelms ford) felt sure that the noble and learned lord was wrong at the time he was speaking, but ho would not take upon him self at the moment. to correct him. They had now before them, however, the act of Parliament, and it appeared from it that there were three cases where a jury could be sum moned without the demand of a lunatic. Those cases were provided for by the 41st, 42d, 43d, and 45th sections of the act, which distinctly pointed out that the inquiry might take place before a jury. First, where the Lord Chancellor was of that opinion ; secondly, where the master, having proceeded originally without a jury, saw fit, in the course of the inquiry, that a jury should be summoned; and thirdly, in all cases where the lunatic was out of the alleged jurisdiction a jury should be sum moned. He thought the noble and learned lord on reflection, therefore, must see that he ought to admit his inaccuracy in two other cases besides that which he had admitted. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Those two other cases were of a complicated nature, and the point arose equally in Sir Hugh Cairns' bill. He thought, however, it would be unn ecessary to prolong the discussion farther. (Hear.) Lord CRANWORTII said he felt bound in candour to call attention to the fact that though the act was passed eight years ago, there had only been 20 cases in which a jury had been summoned. For five years he had had the honour of holding the great seal, and his impression was that in that time no order was made for summoning a jury except upon the application of the lunatic. His noble and learned friend might be strictly wrong in saying that the summoning of a jury could only be upon application of the hewas right. BILLS BILL.

The Earl of MALMESBURY called attention to the imperfect preservation of the game in the New Forest on the part of the Crown, which had produced a circular from persons holding licenses to shoot there, offering prizes to foresters for the destruction of vermin, and which circular he considered derogatory to the Crown. Earl GRANVILLE denied that the preservation of game in the New Forest was inef ficiently attended to. It was, in fact, a part of the foresters' duty to preserve the game for persons holding licenses. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMM ON S — YESTERDAY. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Major O'REILLY, who was introduced by Major Gavin and the O'Conner Don, took the oaths and his seat on his election for Longford.

THE VICTORIA TRANSPORT SHIP. Sir 3. PARINGTON w i shed to call the attention of the Secretary to the Ad m i ra l ty to a statement which had ap panewspaperssecond wi t tl i l roe regard to withotheret t u h rn e l o v f h t o h l o e of the 96th Regiment on board. What he wished to know was whether the statements to which he had alluded were true. It appeared that the Victoria had been in the first instance despatched with the 96th Regiment on board, and was obliged to put back to Plymouth, having been com pletely disabled at sea, and having narrowly escaped foun dering. It was within his (Sir J. Pakington's) knowledge that several officers had formed the worst opinion of the ship, and were strongly disinclined to sail in her again. He had in consequence addressed a private note to his noble friend, inquiring whether the ship with the regiment was to be sent to see again, and subsequently he addressed a public inquiry to his noble friend in the house. His noble friend stated in reply that the Admiralty had taken all possible pains to repair the ship, and to ascertain whether she was made fit to resume her voyage. His noble friend stated that she had been surveyed by competent officers, and that their report was such that the Admiralty had no hesi tation in again sending her to sea. Accordingly she went to sea, but in three days her engines were disabled, and she was, in fact, only saved by bearing up for Fayal. He wished to have some explanation with respect to the statements to which he had referred, and also to learn what were the re ports of the officers who had surveyed the ship. Lord C. PAGET said that nobody could overrate the importance of the question which had just been put, but ho trusted that the house would not imagine that the Admi ralty had neglected any possible precaution to secure the safety of our gallant troops. The story of the Victoria was an unfortunate one. When she put to sea she encountered a heavy gale of wind, and her fault was that she had not very powerful engines. She was therefore unable to make head against the westerly gale, and put back to Queenstown, not because she was in danger, but because her coals had run short and the weather was so bad. When she arrived at Cork there were various defects to be made good, and the admiral. at Queenstown hearing that there was amongst the military officers a certain amount of alarm as to the seaworthiness of the vessel, ordered a most careful sur•. vey to he made, and the reports of the surveying officers he would now read to the house. The surveying officers were the captain, the master, the chief engineer, and the boatswain of the Revenge; the master and chief engineer of the Hawk ; and master, storekee per, and superintenden carpenter at Haulbowline. In their report they stated that they had inspected the hull, the rigging, sails, and engines, and that they found that the several several defects specified in the report had been made good in a satisfactory manner. They had also tried the vessel under way and under steam, and found that her engines worked very well, that her boilers kept steam easily, and that her speed was eleven knots an hour. Admiral Smart, how ever, directed the carpenters of the squadron to go on board and try her rivets. They did so, and reported that they had found the greatest quantity of water in any compartment not to exceed two inches. They were of opinion that the ship was a strong built vessel, and capable of crossing the Atlantic at any time of the year. She ac cordingly went to sea again, but she fell in with a succes sion of hurricanes so dreadful that he believed the like had not been known by any seaman that had crossed the Atlan tic. It was almost heartrending to think of the losses which must have occurred. The Victoria sailed from Queenstown on the 14th of February, and from her log it appeared that she experienced moderate gales on the 15th. On the 16th there was a strong gale, and so it went on till the 18th, when the wind increased, with very heavy squalls. At 3,50 on the 18th there was a fearful gale; on the 19th a terrific gale, with furious squalls and snow. On the 20th two men fell overboard and were lost. At 1 a.m. on that day the gale was described as having increased to a hurricane. After that it moderated a little, but on the 22d there was a strong gals ; and on the 23d the engines gave out : so that the vessel had encountered furious gales for nine days with out any accident to her engines, and without any leakage. On the 23d, at 5 p.m., a leak was reported. In fact there was nothing but a succession of gales and hurricanes, and indeed she appeared to have encountered weather ow& as was almost without a precedent. A. steam transport called the Trojan, freighted with stores, had actually foundered in the midst of the Atlantic; but a portion of the crew had been picked up by an American ship, the captain of which deposed that he had been in the habit of crossing to Europe for 26 years, and that he had never known anything like the weather during a portion of February and the begin ning of the present month. There could be no doubt that a vessel which had so long resisted the gales without dis aster was perfectly seaworthy and fit to cross the Atlantic. He was bound, however, to say the Admiralty had thought it right that the gallant men on board her should not embark in that vessel at all events any; more. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he must con. gratulate the house on the noble conduct of the troops. (Cheers.) Throughout that awful period Colonel Scovell, the officers, and the men, had behaved admirably. They had assisted in baling the ship and in clearing the wreck-- and it was owing in great part to their exertions that the ship had been saved. (Cheers.) Sir G. LEWIS observed that the regiment was at pre sent divided, and the War-office had determined that the wing which had already arrived at Halifax should be brought home again; and that the second wing should not be sent across the Atlantic at all.

The Earl of HARDWICKE presented petitions from places in Cambridge against the Revised Code. Lord BELPER presented similar petitions from Neath. The Bishop of WORCESTER presented a number of petition 3 to the same effect. Earl CA RNARTON and Lord CRANWORTII also presented petitions of a similar nature. The Earl of DERBY presented petitions from places in Lancashire against the revised code. CARMARTHONSHIRE RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Lord RE DESDALE this bill was read a second time. THE ITALIAN PROCLAMATION. The Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that he in tended to move for further papers connected with the recent proclamation that was embraced in tho notice that already stood in his name on the paper for Monday next. THE LAW OF LUNACY BILL. The Earl of DERBY said.he felE it his duty, in conse quence of what had fallen from the noble lord on the wool sack, to occupy their attention for a short time, while he vindicated himself from a charge of inconsistency. He had sent the noble and learned lord notice of his inten tion to bring the subject before their lordships, and the point be wished particularly to mention was that he (the Earl of Derby) had been charged with objecting to a clause brought forward by the Lord Chancellor to which he had previously assented to in a bill which had been in troduced into Parliament by his hon, and learned friend Sir H. Cairns. He did not know that he could better vindicate himself from that charge of inconsistency than by giving notice that when their lordships went into committee on the bill he should move that the clause in Sir H. Cairns's bill be substituted for that which at present formed part of this bill. The clause to which he referred made it compulsory that all jury trials of commissions of lunacy should be taken before one of the superior judges in place of, as at present, before one of the masters. Now the clause in his learned friend's bill did not go to that ex tremity, but it gave a power to the effect that in certain cases the trials might be taken before one of her Majesty's judges. He certainly could not assent to the statement that had been made by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack that the proposal in his bill was the same as that contained in Sir H. Cairns's measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR acknowledged the cour tesy of the noble earl in sending him notice of his intention to bring the subject under the attention of the house that evening, and he could but regret the remark which fell from him during the time the bill to which he referred was under discussion. He could not, however, alter the opinion that he then expressed, viz., that the two proposals were in effect the same. The Earl of DERBY was sorry to interrupt the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, but he had said they were impracticable. (Hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should be sorry were he misunderstood; he had certainly stated that the substitutionlof a judge of the law for a master in lunacy would be desirable. (Hear.) Having had an opportunity of referring to the act on the subject, he had found that the master had power to summon a jury in all cases where the lunatic resided out of the jurisdiction; and, therefore, his answer to the noble earl was to that extent incorrect. In other respects he believed that his statement was substan tially correct, and it did appear to him a needless effort to bring the point under their lordships' notice. He was how ever very happy to have had the opportunity of detecting even that amount of inaccuracy, an d th ere f ore the noble earl would have an ovation on the present occasion. (Laughter,) Lord CHELMSFORD observed that the noble and learned lord on the woolsack, though extremely unwilling to admit • that he could be guilty of the slightest inaccuracy, had been PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Dartmouth and Torbay Railway Bill was con s id e red ; and ordered for third reading. PETITIONS.

He was not aware that there had been any im proper appointments made in India, and the Government did not interfere with the same except under some special circumstances. METROPOLITAN BISHOP IN CANADA. _ _ Mr. A. MILLS asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a patent, dated July 9, 1861, appoint ing, a metropolitan bishop in Canada, had been returned to the Colonial-office for revision ; and whether the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called to the cir cumstance that the patent in question may involve an in fraction of the provisions of the Act 19 and 20 Vic. c. 121, of the Canadian Parliament, by which the appointment of all ecclesiastical functionaries within the province was vested in the Canadian synods. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the patent in question had been returned to the proper quarter for revision. It was considered desirable to make an alteration in the patent to meet the altered state of circumstances that had arisen. MANAGEMENT OF GR EENWICH HOSPITAL. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty to state the course that was intended to be pursued by the Board of Admiralty, to carry out the •recommendations of the royal commission appointed to inquire into the management of Greenwich Hospital. Lord C. PAGET said ho understood his hon, and gallant friend's question to refer to the re-introduction of the bill of last session. The Government had no such intention, in consequence of the unfavourable manner in which the measure had been received by both houses of Parliament. SANDHURST COLLEGE. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Sir G. LEWIS moved that the proposed resolution of a vote of £10,787 for the extension of Sandhurst College be recommitted to the Committee of Supply. The right hon: baronet repeated in substance the statement he had made the other night. He said that it was intended by the vote, which the house decided against, merely to ask for the re petition of the vote granted last year. It had been recom mended by the select committee that all those desirous of entering the army, who did not purchase commissions, should spend twelve months at Sand- turst. £15,000 had been voted for the college last year. A sum of money was already expended last year in carrying out the recommendations for the extension of the college. If the amount now asked for were not granted they must put an end to the contracts which had been com menced, and remove the half finished wall which had been erected. The cost of this would be much more than the amount required for the extension of the college. He pointed out the necessity that existed for a military college, as the university of Oxford or Cambridge were not adapted for the purposes of a purely military education. Mr. SELWYN expressed his surprise at the speeches made on this subject by the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Lewis). The proposal he made virtually called on the house to retrace the step they had taken, and to set aside the victory which the friends of economy had achieved this session. If they agreed to the proposal now made they would bo admitting th© thin edge of the wedge, and they would ultimately be called on to adopt the original plan of the college which had been abandoned. The proposal of the right hon. baronet was most objection able, because it enforced compulsory residence on the poor, and not on the rich. He denied that any necessity for the adoption of the proposition in question had been made, and he contended that according to the correspondence withthe universities of Oxford and Cambridge it appeared the authorities were prepared to make provision within these institutions for the training of those who were intended for the army. If they reversed their decision it would form a precedent on which they would be asked to carry out the original plan, and to incur a large annual expenditure for that purpose, B. OSBORNE objected to the proposal of the right hon. baronet (Sir G. Lewis) having been delayed until now, for before this evening they had no knowledge of the scheme propounded by Government. He remembered the vote last session was granted at midnight on the 12th of June in a rather hurried manner, and he, amongst other mem bers, was under the impression that all candidates for com missions were to spend 12 months at Sandhurst. It ap peared, however, that such was not the case. He consi dered that it was most desirable that all candidates for the army should have a special training b e f ore they joined a regiment, instead of at present com i ng f rom the university without any s p ecial knowledge of their profession, and the result was that unnecessary expense was incurred. He was ready for these reasons to support the experiment of Government, and vote for the estimate. General PEEL said this question should not be viewed with reference to party, and advocated the ad o pti on of s pecial mtlitary training, as being more convenient than the system which at present existed. After a few words from Mr. G. W. ROPE an d Si r H. WILLOUGHBY, the vote was agreed to without a division. X Pt that t the N NEW ZEALAND. On P the N motion being Speaker eaker do leave the chair, Mr. ADDERLEY aske d the Under S ecretary of State for EESESb OF TROOPS R put OO the Colonies what was the nature of the new plan of native administration proposed by the Governor of Now Zealand, and whether the Imperial Government were free from the responsibility for the scheme, and from the military and civil expenditure involved in its adoption ; and whether the present number of troops in that colony sme about to be re • duced ? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that inquiries had been ad dressed to Sir G. G r ey to know what the c o l ony was pre pared to do with regard to the native administration, and what effort it was prepared to make towards liquidating the expense of the late war. The hon. gentleman assured the house that the Government had not in the least degree committed themselves to any plan proposed by th e Gover nor. or to any expend iture which it might entail. Mr. ROEBUCK ur g ed a plain, straightforward policy in the case of New Zealand, and he expressed his opinion that there was no li ttle hypocrisy in the all ege d e ff or t s to evangelise or civilise; the native p o pulation. It was an undoubted fact that the aborigi nes of every country dbutp- SUPPLY. Tho house then went into a committee of supply on the army estimates. £677,955 for barracks, including the £10,787 for Sand hurst. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to call attention to the enor mous outlay under this head. There was also a sum of £550,000 for hospitals. He would not grudge any amount that might be necessary for that purpose, but he could not but think the sum a large one. Sir G. C. LEWIS said the vote had already been dis cussed; and the only thing that had been postponed was the vote for Sandhurst. As to the item for barracks ho could only say that the accommodation asked for had been thought necessary . A great diminution in the mortality of our troops had been effected in the course of the last few years, and that was, doubtless, owing to the improvement which had taken place in our barracks. (Hear, hear.) Tho vote was then agreed to. On the vote of £206,283 for the education of the scientific branch of the army. Mr. SELWYN objected to the item of £12,700 for in creasing the accommodation at Sandhurst. The vote for the building, it was generally considered, ought to be allowed to pass, but the present vote raised a question of principle. He believed that a notion prevailed in the house that no division would take place on his motion. He should, therefore, merely move it pro forma, reserving to himself the liberty of dividing the house on the bringing up of the report. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that ho had little further to add to what ho had said in :the :early part of the evening. He would only say that if Oxford and Cambridge were al lowed to compote with Sandhurst, other universities, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Durham, and St. Bees, would claim to be admitted ad eundum (hear, hoar), so that the advan tage to Oxford and Cambridge would bo greatly watered down. With regard to this £12,000, he had already stated , that the money of the cadets was paid into the Exchequer ; and if the number amounted to 330, the receipts from them would be about £30,000, which would more than cover tho amount of the vote. The vote of £12,000 was, therefore, only an advance, for if not voted it would be only fair to leave the £30,000 in the hands of the college. The whole question, therefore, was one of account. Mr. WALPOLE was much astonished at the line of argu ment adopted by the right hon. gentleman. This was not a question of advantage to any university, but whether all persons who wished to enter the army without purchase should be obliged to pass through Sandhurst. (Hear, hear.) He thought it very advantageous that there should be a military college to which the sons of old officers could go for their education at a small cost, and likewise that there should be a kind of standard to which all persons who de sired to become officers should come up ; but he could not for the life of him see why a person who came up to that standard and proved himself fit for a commission by a com petitive examination should be excluded because he had received his education somewhere else than at Sandhurst, (Hear, hear.) It had been said that Sandhurst might be made self-supporting. Would it not be well to pause, then, before they increased the vote, to ascertain whether it could not be made self-supporting ? It was a question whether this matter of competitive examination should be pushed to an extreme. He felt his right honourable friend the Secretary at War had made out a strong case for giving a vote for the buildings, which vote was agreed to last year ; but with regard to the extension of the amount to be given for the support of Sandhurst, ho thought it would be well of the Government to pause until the plans had been more maturely considered. He there fore considered they should withdraw this vote for one year more. Colonel NORTH did not believe that at the University of Cambridge or at any other university, except that of Dublin, facilities would be offered to officers to learn their profes sion properly. He should give his support to the Govern ment on this occasion. Mr. FINLAY also supported the vote. Sir W. RUSSELL trusted the Government would be in duced to endeavour to give a little practk,al training to the cadets. Lord STANLEY quite understood the Government say ing they would not take any one into the army without pur chase who had not acquired a certain amount of qualifica' tiQUi bit what ho did not underatand was that it should AIR.

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in.the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the practical regulations which the writer endeavours to enforce.”—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861. " The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of bathe, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels himself regenerated and new made, it is on; coming out of a Turkish Bath."—Era, Oct 13, 1861. Consultations daily till 12 a.m. DR.

Mr. M.P., has written th e f o l lowing to theßright, chairmanof a recent anti-income tax meeting at Birmingham : " 4, Hanover-street, London, March 11, 1862. "Dear have received your letter and a copy of the resolution on the Eubject of the income tag; and thank you for them. I am riot surprised at the hostility which you describe as existing in. the minds of many persons in Birmingham against this tax ; in truth, I am only surprised at the patience, I think I may say the culpable patienCe, with which it has been so long endured. At the same time I regret to say that I cannot see the wis dom of the course you recommend with a view to procure the repeal or alteration of the tax, and it does not appear to me to offer any prospect of suc cess. I cannot, therefore, pledge myself to ant as you'wish, that is, to undertake to divide the house against the present income tax laws on every pos sible occasion.' " The evil of which you complain is not to be got rid of through the direct action of Parliament, and the course you recommend to my colleague and to myself would, I fear, only subject you to disappoint ment, and us to ridicule. The House of Commons, and I may say Parliament as a whole, including both houses, finds no special grievance in heavy expenditure and heavy taxation, and the inequali ties of which you justly complain, tell in favour of the rich, and especially in favour of the owners of vs hat is called real property. It is not from Par liment, therefore, in the first instance, you are to look for redress. " The income tax was imposed in the year 1842 to enable Sir Robert Peel to begin the reform of the tariff. The tariff has been to a great extent re formed ; and/Although the Cust oms d ut i es produce more now than they did in 1842, the income tax remains with a heavier pressure and a wider field. The cause is on the surface. Parliament consents now to an annual expenditure about twenty millions in excess of that of 1842, and the income tax raises one-half of the in creased taxation required by this increased expenditure. If I complain to Government or to Parliament that this expenditure is unnecessary, and this taxation burdensome, Government and Parliament tell me that the nation is not of my opinion, and that the people do not blame the one or suffer sensibly under the other. " I believe a very heavy taxation can rarely, per haps never, be levied with much regard to 3ustice. In this country, where the rich only govern. equality and fairness in taxation are impossible. The rich may spend the public revenues with a careless prodigality, but they will fight with a des perate unity of purpose to place the burden on the whole people, with little regard to the means of those who are to bear it. In the United Kingdom there are seven millions of men who pay taxes, and of these about six millions are never consulted as to the amount which shall be spent, or the mode in. which it shall be raised. Of the one million who are apparently consulted, it may be said that poli tical power is so unequally apportioned among them, that less than one-fourth of them nominally elect a majority of the members of the House of Commons, by which seventy millions of taxes are annually collected from seven millions of men, and, which determines the mode in which this vast sun shall be raised, and how it shall be expended. " I have now had an experience of nearly twenty years in the House of Commons, and during that time I have given such assistance as I could to every attempt to keep down expenditure, and to make taxation more equal and more just. The expenditure is now twenty millions more than it was when I entered Parliament. Since 1853-4, when Lord Palmerston and Lord Sohn Russell led. the nation into war with Russia, the public exche quer has been open to the rapacity of the military services, and they have revelled, without check, in the wealth which industry has created. These old statesmen, steeped in the tradition of the last gene ration, conceive the grandeur of a country to con sist in the vastness of its taxation, and the extent of its military preparations, and they have suc ceeded in so exciting the fears and imposing upon the understanding of the middle classes of the people, as to induce them to tolerate a con.. stantly-growing extravagance in the executive Go vernment, and a burden of taxation, which in a time of peace would have driven their forefathers into revolt. " The English middle class believes itself to be represented, while its representation is mainly a fraud. The great mass of tie people are purposely excluded from all r e p resen t a ti on . F orce i s no longer used as the instrument of tyranny amongst us; but fraud, and delusion, and alarm, and panic are found in our day more profitable than force. I write to' you, who, in respect to the subject of our corre spondence, are a representative of the middle class ; pdtmooi burdenawe lnetroft e scape.ohtfe they co-operation must and b e co ntent h elp f al, and, when it rises to any so intelligent, so moral. 11 ful—sha examine public great duty, so power and I say that until that great class, in many . thi ngs apportion affairs for itself, and shall shake itself free from the impositions which are so impudently . practised upon it, I see no hope of any sensible diminution of the attaxtaxatiaotnio,norforfomanywmhiocih.e just it is impossible e th gr a ea p t ro n fl a i t g io a n te n G ow o. If the middle class prefer an alliance with the aristocratic and ruling pa r t y, to the cor dial from all political excluded from the franchise vernment expenditure, and a taxation burdensome from its amount, and insulting from its inequality, a nd need not tell you h ow glad I shall 'ne hopel I to witness an expression of opinion in frAvour of economy. Th e old watchwords of the Liberal party were Peace, Ret renc h ment, and . Reform.' Of late y ears, under the leadership of who care for none of these things, the party has become enfeebled, debauched, and humiliated, and has trampled in the dust the only principles on which it has any pretence to become a party.
