MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past few days there has been less animation in the market for foreign and colonial produce. The butter qualities of tea have slightly declined in price, while sugars have receded about 6d. per cwt. For coffee there has been a better inquiry, the finer descriptions of Plantation Ceylon having advanced 6d. per cwt. Rice has been in active. A limited business has been done in fruit and spices. Saltpetre has continued in moderate request at steady rates, and tallow has exhibited rather more activity, the quotations for forward delivery having slightly advanced. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi nese continued moderately active, but prices were depressed. The sales were 8,000 bales. A small quantity of gold, viz., £5,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. An instalment of 25 per cent., amounting to £343,250, is due to-day on the Brazilian Loan negotiated in March. A steady demand for money is still reported, and more activity is expected during the next two or three days, owing to the commercial engagements of the 4th of the month, and the provision that will have to be made for several heavy railway calls, the amount required for that purpose in the present month being £2,490,095. At the meeting of the proprietors of the London Chartered Bank of Australia, held this day, a dividend at the rate for the half-year of 31 per cent. free of Income Tax, was unanimously agreed to. There is very little business in progress at the Stock Exchange, and the markets continue heavy at the reduced prices current yesterday afternoon, Consols being 94 95. The position of affairs on the Continent, and the depression of the French Funds, produce an unfavourable effect. The .New Three per Cents. and the Reduced are flat at 931 1; the New 21 per Cents. are 79; India Loan is 1061 ; ditto Debentures are firm at 96; 7 ; and Exche quer Bills remain at 7s. to 10s. prem. Bank Stock is firm at 228 and 2291. Rather less firmness has been apparent in Foreign Securities, and the transactions have been limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 74 to 741 ; ditto New, 57 to 571. Portuguese have receded to 441, Mexican to 217 0 Chilian are 1021; Buenos Ayres, 851 861 ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents. are 99. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 prem.; the Thames and Mersey ditto, 14 4 prem.; and the Universal ditto, prem. _ A slight downward movement has been appa rent in the Railway Share Market, the decline, in several instances, amounting to to s per cent. Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Mid land, and South-Eastern have receded 55.; Great Northern, Great Western, and North Eastern (Ber wick), 10s. ; South Western have improved about ss. In the Foreign and Colonial markets the deal ings have been very limited. Lombardo-Venetian have declined to ; Dutch Rhenish, 9 ; Grand Trunk of Canada, to 1-; and Great Western of Canada, e to—,. East Indian and Great Indian Peninsula each brought previous rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been inactive. London Joint• Stock, however, have improved to 331 ; London and Westminster, to 611 ; Canada Land, to 122 and 123; and Peel River Land, to 47,1. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

THREE O'CLOCK Consols, Money Ditto June Account IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. s THE IRISH PAPAL BRIGADE. There are further accounts this morning of the success of the Pope's recruiting sergeants, and of resignations in the Irish constabulary, the men ex- st changing the Queen's livery for the uniform of the st Irish Papal Brigade. The Limerick Examiner re ports as follows :—" Notwithstanding the recent proclamation, the movement to raise in Ireland a brigade for the service of the Pope is said to pro- I gress with steadiness and rapidity. The North si Riding of Tipperary has already furnished a con- st siderable contingent, and in the south there are numbers of young men of respectable families and position who profess themselves ready and willing to support the cause of the Pope. Throughout s. Tipperary and Limerick the police are everywhere st resigning. Yesterday morning 15 young men left st Limerick en route for Rome." The Cork Examiner of Wednesday says :—" Up to yesterday six sub-constables had tendered their resignation, and it is stated that several others have st, it in contemplation to follow their example. Some St of these have been in the force six and eight years, st and allege as a reason for the change the low salary at present doled out to them, which is a bout b equal stc to the wages of the humblest labourer. T stc pose emigrating to a land where, it is hoped, eyP their u- services will be more highly prized." A letter from Drogheda remarks The enthu- 1, siasm for emigration to Italy still continues here in st Drogheda as well as in the neighbouring districts. st There are 40 members of the constabulary stationed st, in this town, and out of these no less than 10 of the 5,3: finest men in the lot have just tendered their resig nations in the usual way. Their 'withdrawal from the force at this particular time is ominous. Of course, they have stated no cause which led them to come to such a resolution. About 30 out of the 40 members are Roman Catholics, and it is the opinion of the people here that all the latter will resign and enrol themselves in the brigade, as there are very attractive promises held out to them in bounty and pay." HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AT BROMPTON.- The annual court of the governors of this excellent charity was held yesterday in the board-room of the hospital. The Marquis of Westminster was in the chair; and it appeared from the report that during the last year 972 patients had been admitted, being an increase of 355 over the previous year ; 668 patients had been dismissed, man y greatly benefited, and 124 had died. As so ma n y deaths had oc curred during a short period, it was necessary that the governors should exercise more caution in the selection of, patients for admission. A great deal of good had been done among the out-patients, and the number of cases prescribed for in 1859 was 4;649 ; in 1858 the number was 3,971. The annual subscriptions amounted to £3,832 195., and the do nations to £4,395 Hs. 7d. The general income of the hospital amounted to £11,985 6s. 9d., and after the pay • ment of all expenses, a balance of £64 2 ss. 10d. was left in hand. On the motion of Mr. Hugham, seconded by Rev. W. Niven, the report was adopted. Several alterations ware then made in the standing rules of the institution, and.the meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the eh tirman. THE FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY TERMINUS. —ln addition to the proceedings taken against Warrener,. the guard, for being drunk and neglecting to perform his duty, whilst guard of a train on the Great Northern Railway, whereby the lives of several persons travelling by the train were endangered, at St. Pancras, on the evening of May 30, the directors have instituted a most stringent inquiry into the circum stances connected with the melancholy . occurrence. The re sult will not be made known until the investigation termi. nates. The locomotive (the Queen), which is the most powerful on the establishment of the Great Northern Com pany, will be minutely examined by competent engineers, in order to ascertain if any defect in the machinery led to the melancholy disaster. Information of the accident having been forwarded to the railway - department of the Beard of Trade, an officer of the Royal Engineers will com mence a separate investigation, assisted by several civil engineers of eminence.

The Lords' amendments to the London and North Western Railway and Saint Helen's Canal and Railway Companies Bill were considered and agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—London, Brighton, and South Ccast Rail way (Deviations and New Lines, &c.), Watchet Harbour, and Waveney Valley Railway Bills. The Everton, &c., Drainage Bill, and North British Insurance Company Bill, were read a second time. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented, praying the house to pass the Reform Bill without delay ; against that part of the Bankruptcy Bill which prohibits solicitors pleading in Bankruptcy Courts ; for a modification of the law relating to Friendly Societies; for the repeal of the differential duty cn foreign paper • against any increase in taxation without the consent of this house ; and against any change in the marriage law, &c.

OPENING FROM ST. JAMES'S PARK TO TRA • FALGAR- SQUARE._ _ On the motion for the adjournment of the house at its rising until Monday, Mr. KINNAIItD asked the First Commissioner of Works, whether the recommendation of the committee which reported in 1856 in favour of opening a carriage way from Saint James's Park to Trafalgar-square would be carried out; and, if not, what are the reasons for such decision on the part of the Board of Works. An opening such as he proposed might be very easily:effected at the present time. The objection to the alteration pre viously was, that the expense would be very large, which was now removed by the recent improvements that had been effected. There was only one house with a lease of nearly 11 years to be removed, to enable the open ing in question to be made. The greatest difficulties were caused to traffic in the neighbourhood of St. James's-square when her Majesty held a Drawing room. He trusted the Govetnment would throw no obstacle in the way of effecting this most desirable improvement. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS considered that Storey'sgate should not be closed so early as 10 o'clock. Sir J. SHELLEY hoped the improvement in question would be speedily effected. _ . Mr. COWPER, said that the committee who had in quired int* the subject, amongst others, recommended that the improvement in question should be carried out in future, but did not recommend its immediate adoption. That committee, however, had not recommended any plan for carrying out the improvement, and had not en tered into the financial part of the question. He consi dered that the subject as to the merits or demerits of the improvement was not to be considered at present, as the house was called on to deal with the mere preliminary question of the expense. That expense could not be charged on the fund for the im provement of the park, and though there was only one house to be removed, and that house was on Crown land, still money would have to be provided to purchase it from the public department to which it belonged. With regard to the other question it was most undeniable that Storey's-gate should be kept open permanently during the night. THE PAPER 'DUTIES. Lord FERMOY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer 'whether he intended, in consequence of the Bill for the abolition of the Duties on Paper having been re jected by the House of Lords, to remit some other tax equivalent to the amount of the paper duties. He said that there were two questions involved in the pre sent state of this matter, one constitutlbnal, the other finan cial. With regard to the former, he was quite prepared, when the proper time arrived, to vindicate the dignity of the house. He trusted also that the Government would be prepared to take a proper course in respect to the privileges of the house. He thought the Government should imme diately introduce another bill to do away with the paper dutiep, to which they should have appended resolu tions to the effect that the house would maintain its rights and privileges. (Hear, hear.) As regarded the financial part of the question, it would be seen that the house was placed in a false position ; for the people of England, in consequence of the rejec tion of the repeal of the duty, more called on to pay £1,500,000 for a tax which their representatives had condemned. He believed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was sine:re in his desire to repeal this duty, but a different opinion prevailed in cer tain parts of the country, and therefore he had done some service in affording him an opportunity of ex planation. The noble lord strongly condemned the course pursued by Government in appointing a committee to in quire into precedents, instead of adopting some more ener getic and prompt course of proceedings. THE TEA DUTY. Mr. A. STEUAR 1' asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether, having declared in case of a similar con tingency with regard to the bill for the repeal of the Paper Duty to what now has occurred, that he would take the earliest opportunity, probably within a few days, of inviting the house to repeal the war tea and sugar duty, he still adhered to that intention; or what contingencies, then unforeseen, prevented such a course. Also, whether he was still of opinion, from the quantities of wine entered since the lowering of the duty, that consumntion would increase to the extent of 35 per cent:, and entail on the revenue a loss compared with last year of only £515,000 ? Mr. CAVE strongly advocated the repeal of the duty on tea. The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER said thai; he did not complain of the criticism that had been passed on the Government. It must be understood, however, that he would make no admissions and offer no replies. (Laughter.) The noble lord (Fernley) asked him what were his feelings with respect to the vote of the House of Lords. Chancellors of the Exche quer were not supposed to have any feelings—(laugh ter)—but if he had any feeling on this question he did not think the time had arrived for him to declare them. (Laughter.) He thought the opinion of the house was that Government had not taken an unbecoming course in sub • mitting to a committee the duty of enquiring into prece dents on this matter, which would place the house in possession of information which it had not previously possessed. With respect to the other question, he was not prepared to repeal the duty on tea, for he was placed in a different position at the present time to that in which he stood when he made the conditional promise he had done in making his financial statement. It would be im possible, until the wine license duty came into opera tion, to answer the latter part of the question, as to the increase in consumption and loss in revenue, but as far as the experience of Government ex tended it was in favour of the statement he had made in reference to these matters. Mr. BRIGHT said that the ground taken by the House of Lords for rejecting :the paper bill 'vas not whether it was a good or bad measure, but merely that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not, by proposing to re mit that tax, provided for the ways and means. It was, therefore, clearly unfair to ask the right honourable gentleman to remove another tax, because, according to a new theory, the Upper House could decide on the matter, and reject any such proposed measure. With reference to some observations as to popular agitation on the question of this vote, he considered that the people were only exercising their legitimate and constitutional right by exercising their opinion on thissubject. The gentlemen on the opposite side of the house had at timos attempted to get up agitations, but they failed because their objects did not p-ssess popular sympathy. He ap proved of the course which Government had taken in moving the appointment of a committee to inquire into - precedents, and he thought the people of England would have a just contempt for the Parliament of 1860 if they did - not obtain all the information on the subject it was in their power to acquire. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. SIR HENRY RAWLINSON. Mr. H. SEYMOUR called the attention of the house to the state of affairs with• Persia ; and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to lay upon the table of the house papers relating to Sir Henry Rawlinson's recal or resig nation. SUPREME COURT OF HONG KONG. Mr. WYLD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, it the Government had been informed by the Go vernor of Hong Kong of the trial, at the Supreme Court, of Captain Saunders, of the British barque Chin- Chin, for the murder of one of the crew of the Custom House Boats in the Port of Swatow ; and, if there be any objection to lay the despatch upon the table of the house ? Mr. D. FORTESCUE asked the ,ecretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he was in possession of any in formation confirmatory of certain statements made in a pamphlet recently published in Paris, quoted in the " Eco nomist" newpaper of Saturday last, relative to the proceed ings of the police authorities hi Sicily; and, if so, whether he had any objection to lay such informaticn upon the table of the house.

A MILITARY RUFFIAN.—John Haley, a private of the second battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged with assaulting two females in the Haymarket, as follows : Inspector Holden, of the C division, said the females were not in attendance, upon which Mr. Beadon ordered the con stable Hamahan, 51 C, to b 3 sworn, and he said that about three that morning he was told the prisoner, who was mad drunk, had assaulted two females by knocking them down, and that he had also while on the ground kicked one of them. The prisoner had also struck him, but in conse quence of the other charges he had not preferred any charge against him. The prisoner was so violent that it took eight constables to get him to Ihe station. Mr. Beadon said if the females had been present and complained he would have punished him severely—Fined 20s. or 7 days. GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENT. - Mr. John Jackson, Crown Hotel, St. Martin's-lane ; Mr. Samuel Williams, Salutation Tavern, Newgate -street ; and Mr. John Roberts, of 10, Dorset-place, Clapham—the first two described as gentlemen, and the last named as a clerk•—were charged with being drunk and fighting in Coventry-street, about one o'clock this morning, a large crowd of prostitutes and others being collected in consequence. The case was proved by a constable named Stuart and Inspector Holden, and the defendants fined ss. each. THAMES. HEARTLESS FRAUD ON A POOR WIDOW.—Mrs. Maria Devonshire, a poor but very respectable widow, who has seen better days, and is now dwelling at No. 5, Wentworth • road, Bow-road, waited upon Mr. Selfe to expose a most cruel fraud which had been practised upon her by a scoundrel who has been going about waiting upon persons who have relatives in Australia and New Zealand, and after representing to them that a large sum of money and property has been left to them, has obtained various sums of money, in some instances as much as £l5, under pretence of requiring the money to pay customs charges and duties. Mrs. Devonshire handed to the magistrate a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lea, the curate of Trinity Church, Mile-end. recommending her case to the favourable consideration of the magistrate, and speaking of her as a. deserving woman. It appeared from her statement, that she was waited upon by a plausible fellow, 24 or 25 years of age, on Wednesday the 22d instant, who asked her if she had not some relative abroad, to which she replied that she had a brother in India and another in Boston, New York. He said that was correct, and, after detailing some particulars of her own history and where she had been living, which he must have elicited from the neighbours, he said that a legacy of £lOO had been left to her. Ho also said that two diamond rings, a gold watch, and a chain had been left to her. After some further conversation he hinted there were charges to be paid at the Custom House, and reque - sted the widow to meet him at the Custom House next morning in the long room. She told him shehad not a farthing in the world, and he said she would certainly lose the property if she did not pay the charges, and induced her to borrow £6 10s. of her landlady, which she handed to him. He then promised to meet her and her landlady on the following day in the long room, and she could then have the diamond rings, the watch, and as much money as she wanted. She went there at the ap pointed time, only to ascertain that she had been the victim of a designing villain, and had never seen him since. Mrs. Devonshire also stated that she should have to sell her fur niture, and break up her little home, to raise the money to pay her landlady the money she had borrowed. She had three young children to maintain, and the blow that had fallen upon her was more than she could bear up against. Mr. Selfe said it was a very distressing case indeed, but one in which he could not interfere. The applicant had better give information to the police, and he had no doubt the swindler would be looked after, and, if possible, brought to justice for obtaining money under false representations. Mills, a police constable, 306 K, said the fellow who victimised Mrs. Devonshire had swindled other persons of money under similar circumstances. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. An unusually small supply of English wheat was exhi bited on the stands to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage. The attendance of both town and country millers was small, and most kinds of wheat changed hands slowly, at Monday's currency. Upwards of 12,000 qrs. having come fresh to hand sales progressed slowly. In prices, however, no change took place. There was only a limited inquiry for floating cargoes. We have to report a very inactive demand for all de scriptions of barley, at Monday's decline. Fine malt moved off steadily ; other kinds slowly, at late rates. There was a fair consumptive demand for oats, but no change took place in the quotations. Beans, peas, and flour were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. The imports of the latter from the continent has been tolerably good. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Whe it. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 910 70 1,230 ! I 1,0.40 Irish.

JEROME NAPOLEON AND NAPLES.—We learn from a good source that Prince Jerome Napoleon was some few weeks ago on the point of starting for Central Italy, with the view of awaiting there the turn of events in Sicily and Naples, when Garibaldi, being informed of the suspicious movements of the Prince, hastened to effect his landing in the island, in order to fore stall and prevent any French intrigues. It was on account of having been thus baffled that the French Government, at first, had Garibaldi so violently abused in its semi-official journals. Afterwards the parole was given to these latter to change their tone, the French Govern ment suddenly veering round in its policy, with a hope of the better being able to claim a " compensation." We trust, however, that the expedition of Garibaldi, as it has been already the means of foiling a Napoleonic) intrigue, will, by its success, so strengthen the cause of Italian unity as to finally drive back French influence as well from the icentre as from the north of the Peninsula.—Abriling Advertiser, ELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) taro winners extra.

Lord FERMOY gave notice that on the motion for the adjournment of the house to-morrow be would ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as the House of Lords had rejected the bill for the repeal of the paper duty, he proposed to remit any other tax, considering that one penny per pound had been added to the income-tax. GENERAL SIR C GREY'S APPOINTMENT. Sir D. L. EVANS, in rising to draw the attention of the house to the recent appointment of the Hon. General Sir C. Grey to the colonelcy of a regiment, observed :—A 71O lice stands in my name respecting the recent appointment of General the Hon. Sir C. Grey to the sinecure colonelcy of a regiment. That notice has been caused somewhat ac - cidentally. In the Committee on Military Organization I took the liberty, a few days since, of asking the Secretary for War, in the course of his evidence, a question, which is reported in the following words : "In the highest appointments (for which you are re sponsible) you include, do you not, nominations to colonel cies of regiments?—Yes. "There has been an appointment (to a colonelcy) which attracted a good deal of public attention ; did that appoint ment come under your notice ?—Certainly ; I am respon • Bible for it. " I do not wish to press the question, but it might, per haps, be agreeable to you to state the reason for that ap pointment ?—I would sooner you :put tha t question to me in the House of Commons." Now, I consider this invitation as leaving mo no option but that of submitting the question, which I now do, on the prese nt motion. And, cons iderin g the very serious princi ple involved in this recent appointment, I am very glad that it has thus devo lved to me to bring it to issue ; for, if it is to be regarded as a precedent, it is but right that the fact should be made known to the army and to the public In 1' 33 a select committee was appointed to inquire into the grounds of similar sinecure nominations. In the evi dence of the late Lord Raglan (then Lord Fitzroy Somer set) before that committee , t he following questions and an swets are recorded : "Do you not consider it essential to the good of th e se rvice that the Commander-in -Chief should have th e power to select the mos t meritorious officers for those which are appointments of . reward, and not exactly is a very appointments to which duties are individuals ?—Yes • consider that the just . reward of individuals in 'all ranks, but particularly in the higher ranks,. im portant duty for the Commander-in-Chief to discharge, nct only as it affects the officers of the lung's service, but ' the credit of the country and the honour of his Majesty him self." " Supposing (his lordship was asked) that there was a genera officer who had had short service, but who had had an opportunity of distinguishing himself in the field, and that there was another officer of a longer service, but who had performed that service in the colonies and had not had the same good fortune in distinguishing himself—which of those two classes would, as the general principle, the Com- mander-in-Chief prefer in recommending for governments ? —I should say that the general officer whose service has been shorter, but who had the greater opportunity of dis tinguishing himself in the field, has been repeatedly exposed to danger, and has been wounded—one, in fact, who has been in a situation ef higher responsib ility, would be the first class of officers to be considered." His lordship went on to say, that— " The next officer to be considered would be one who had accompanied his regiment to the colonies and had acquitted himself well in command ef it." . Then the general officers, he added, who had performed very respectable service, chiefly at home, would certainly come in the last of the three classes. Again, in the report of the Royal Commission of 1854, of which the present Sec retary of State for War was chairman, there is the follow ing recommendation to her Majesty, via.:— " That the command of battalions in the Ordnance corps be given without reference to seniority, in the same manner as the colonelcies of regiments, to the officers whose services appear the best to entitle them to such a distinction." In mentioning the name of General Sir C. Grey I have not the remotest intention or wish to undervalue the services of that officer. On the contrary, I have no doubt that the gallant officer has rendered very important services as pri vate secretary to his Royal Highness the Prince Consort but the impression on my mind is that they were not im portant military services. I have heard that General Sir C. Grey has commanded with great propriety a regiment on home service, and far be it from me to diminish the gallant officer's claim on that account; but to that description of claim Lord F. Somerset has given the last place. Attention has been attracted to the recent appointment of General Sir C. Grey by the public press, and it appears that there are 14 officers senior to him who have seen nerentdeal 'of ser vice in the field and in the colonies, some having been wounded. On the other hand, there are - several generals who have commanded brigades, or even divisions, during the Indian mutiny or in the Crimea, who are without regi ments. Then there is a great number of other officers less fortunate in arriving at the rank of general, but who have served longer than Sir C. Grey, and have performed distin guished services, yet the general officer selected for the re appointment has never, if I am rightly informed, served out of the United Kingdom. This is rather extraordinary. I have no doubt that Gen. Grey commanded a regiment per fectly well on home service. Perhaps he may also have gone to the colonies. If so, the Secretary of War will not fail to state it. But according to Hart's Army List Gen. Grey virtually quitted the army 18 years ago to take a high and confidential appointment in the palace. lam far from wish ing to undervalue or depreciate the important services which he may have rendered, and no doubt has rendered, in that capacity. But again I say they were not military ser vices. I believe only two or three officers have been pro moted above him : but on this question of seniority I wish to draw the right hon. gentleman's attention to a report of a commission which sat in 1854, and of which he himself was the chairman. That commission recommended " that the command of battalions in the Ordnance corps be given without reference to seniority, in the same manner as the colonelcies of regiments, to the officer whose services appear the best to entitle them to such a distinction." It will be seenfrom this that the right hon. gentleman totallydiselsims the principle of seniority, unless in addition to seniority there is distinguished service. In the public prints eight or ten names of really distinguished officers have been men tioned who have been set aside on this occasion, some of them having held high commands. In short, I can hardly help believing that the whole of the matters connected with this case have not been brought under the notice of the right hon. gentleman as they ought to have been, because I am satisfied, with his high sense of justice and his strong desire for the good of the service, that he would have hesi tated before giving his assent to or accepting the responsi bility of this appointment. The right hon. gentleman dee Glared on the occasion to which I have referred that he was expressly responsible for this appointment. Probably there is some little omission here, for the Commander-in-Chief must surely have recommended the appointment to him, and he would not make it witho t such a recommendation. On speaking of this matter to some persons they said that the readiness of the right hon. gentleman to meet the glum • tion in the House of Commons probably arose from his be ing aware of General. Grey's offer to serve in the Crimea. Well, I believe that all the general officers in the army of fered to serve there. (A laugh.) But with regard to offers of service in the Crimean or ther wars let me draw attention to a passage in the letters of the Duke of Wellington, just now published, which is very decisive on this point. He was Secretary for Ireland in 1809. It was reported that an expedition would sail to the Peninsula. His appointment produced large emoluments —I believe some £6,000 or £7,000 a year; but he wrote directly to Lord Castlereagh, somewhat to this effect : " I hear it reported that an expedition to the Peninsula is being prepared. lam determined not to abandon my profession. I hold a very lucrative post. Whether you have the opportunity of appointing me to this expedition I cannot say but this I have to say—you must be so good as to provide a substitute for me in the office of Secretary for Ireland, for I will not stay in that office, whether I go to the Peninsula or not. I should risk my character with the army if they could say that I had preferred a lucrative posi tion at home to serving in the field." i And on another occasion he said : " There shall be no mistake about it. I won't continue to hold this office, whether you give me military command or not. Provide another Irish Secretary, for I won't stop here." That was the military feeling of the Duke of Wellington ; and therefore I think that the mere offer of service in the Crimea, unless it was followed up with the vigour which Sir Arthur Wellesley evinced on that occasion, hardly fur nishes an adequate ground for the present appointment. These preferments are 135 in number, and really, unless it is found that they are dispensed in such a manner as to give satisfaction to military men, I doubt whether the country will acquiesce in the continuance of this defin'te number of them. (Hear.) I have never seen this house unwilling to reward active and approved services, and, in my humble opinion, several of the officers who have recently distin guished themselves in India are entitled not only to this kind of preferment, but to a great deal more. But the fact is, I believe, that several officers have succeeded in obtain ing these appointments whohave not seen any very arduous services. I said before there were not less than 14 General officers senior to General Grey who were not considered upon this occasion. Several of them went through almost the whole of the Peninsular War. Then, again, there is a list of other officers, not, indeed, senior to General Grey, but far superior to him as soldiers, who performed signal ser • vices in the Crimea and in India, but who were also passed over. A few days since an old General officer called upon me while this notice was on the paper. He is one of the officers named in a recently-established military publica tion, the Ar».y and Navy Gazette—General George Bell. I knew that he was a very old officer and had served most honestly and gallantly, and I asked him how his services had been rewarded, and whether he had received the command of a regiment. He replied that his services had not received the slightest word of encouragement, and that he despaired of any requital for them. " Have you any objection to my referring to them in the house ?" I asked. " Not the slightest," he said. He is a gallant old officer, and does not care one straw for anything which may be said,seeing that he speaks nothing but the truth. He has served for about fifty years, which is much longer than General Grey's mili tary career. Of these fifty years forty were passed upon active service in the Peninsula (where he was present at a great number of battles), in the East and West Indies, the Mediterranean, Gibraltar, Nova Scotia, the Canada rebel lion, the Burmese war, and in the Crimea. General Bell says that undoubtedly there were others who, perhaps, ser ved longer than he did in the Peninsula, but who afterwards retired, but he has served up to the present time, and asks to serve again. During eleven years he commanded his regi ment (the Royals), and he was wounded more than once at the head of it. He was wounded also while commanding the troops (3,000 men) in the trenches before Sebastopol, and. he also commanded a brigade in the Crimea. Surely such an officer as this, who has seen forty years of active service, is unfairly neglected when a general officer, twelve years younger in the army than he is, receives the command of a regiment, while he gots no encouragement. (Hear.) I pre same that the right hon. gentleman will be able to make out a good case. He appeared to have not the slightest doubt of doing so. At the same time, when the question of purchase was mooted, the great obstacle in the way of re moving that dishonour and disgrace to the British army was said to be the difficulty of making a selection. It was then given out by Lord Panmure and by the Comm'''e:oe in- Chief that it would be most unpleasant to make such a selec tion. Now, there is no doubt that i n making these ap pointments the principle of selection has to be resorted to, and when an improper selection is made it causes more dis satisfaction among the officers than any selection for lieu tenant-colonelcies. Many other subjects have been ad verted to this evening, and a very important statement has been made by the late Secretary f or _ war ).but to t ( f r om h G i e n n ic eor t t h ahl a c t rPs t e h el e l could ert'lna ias b i e r ma s t n e o o f f u r h t i h as i e s r °s P e e i c ni O ti n .GllB3 om c i e n e °t seemed Ir present establishment. If he means that RO economy can be effected as regards the numerical strength of our forces I agree with him. But if he means that there is no possie bility of effecting any saving in the administration of the army, I can assent to no such proposition. I believe that the estimates which are presented to us from year to year are in a state of great confusion. They do not , satisfactorily explain the state of the administration. The object of them must be to make clear what is the expense of each officer in the se:. vice and in every department ; but I will venture to s y that few men, whether civilians or military men, are able to discover that distinctly. Almost every staff officer has three or four different items of pay, and unless they are sought out with great care in different parts of the estimates it is impossible to find them out. I must do my hon. friend and also the hon. baronet opposite (Sir S. Northcote), the justice to say that the Treasury has several times remon strated with the 'War Department upon the confusion of the accounts, and the expediency of simplifying them. I will just state one instance of the delusive character of these ac counts. Take the first item in these accounts. The salary of the Commander-in-Chief is stated broadly at £3,300 a yeare but if we look through the estimates we shall find there are three or four other items, which increase his emoluments to upwards of £6,000 a-year. Ido not mention this in any invidious spirit, but simply item which presents itself. Then, again, in my th e staff ought to be paid in accordance wit the, importance of I the duties which the o ffi cers have to perform and the pay because i opinion e fit
