I hold an entirely different opinion. I believe that the House of Commons has suffered far more from suppression and secrecy than from publicity. (Hear.) I will not be one to complain of a Government, whether Conservative or Liberal, who think it. consistent with their public duty to communicate information to the House of Commons ; and I say that I think that those gentlemen who brought forward the late motion in reference to Lord Ellenborougb's despatch have no right whatever to complain of the production of the cor respondence as respects their own interests, for it fur nished them with a creditable mode of escaping from a very difficult position. (Cries of " Hear," from the Mini sterial side.) I believe that motion was from the begin ning based on a false issue, and that it would have ended in any case in a defeat ; but the being able to say that ' further information had put the matter in a different po i ion was, in point ofjfect, being able to take advantage of a mode of escape somewhat more creditable than otherwise would have been the case. (Hear, bear.) I was not prepared to-night for a discussion on the state of the nation, and I think that some notice ought to have been given of the intention to raise such's discussion— (hear, hear)—but with respect to some observations which have been made in reference to the Conispiracy Bill I will take leave to say that I did not collect from the public statements of the right hon. member for Buckinghamshire that he approved the Conspiracy Bill itself as proposed by the late Government, but that he would not be a party to object to the introduction of a measure in deference to the wishes of the French Gee vernment. (Hear, hear.) I really, when I brought forward my amendment, framed it with the feeling on my mind that hon. gentlemen were not committed to the merits of the particu'ar measure, and without know ing what course hoe. gentlemen would take, I felt that there was nothing in the public speeches which had been made that precluded members from opposing the Conspiracy Bill on its merits on the second reading, and I sin one of those who never considered that there was any inconsistency in a member voting for the first read ing of a bill, and afterwards voting against the principle of the bill on the second reading. With respect to the question of Sardinia and Naples, I for one should be eery sorry to see the Government of the day urged into an unnece fierily hostile course in reference this mat ter, as if it were an evil that the question between Sar dinia and Naples should be settled without fighting. (Hear, hear.) A resolution come to at the Conference at Paris pointed out a mode of settling differences that might arise between the Powers of Europe ; and the representatives of the great Powers at that Conference all pledged themselves that previously to having recourse to arms it was desirable to settle such disputes as might occur by arbitration or mediation. That having been the deliberate resolution of the parties to the Conference, and it having been so recently agreed to, I certainly cannot complain if the Government did appear desirous of bringing into action the principle of that resolution, and of endeavouring by every means in their power to bring about a settlement of this question between S sr dieia and Naples by arbi' ration or mediation. I there fore could not, for one, have been a party to support any motion made in this house with a view to prevent, as it were, the peaceable settlement of the question. (Hear, hear.) I am extremely glad to find that on the question of India both sides of the house are willing to support, or to avow their support of, the principles of humanity and mercy. I remember reading not long since a re markable passage in the leading journal to this effect— that in the affairs of India humanity and justice were secondary considerattone. Well, I am glad to find that we are not ashamed to be thought capable of acting in the spirit of humanity, justice, and mercy to the people of India, notwithstanding the great atrocities which have undoubtedly been committed towards oar own fel low-subjects in that country. (Hear.) I, therefore, am glad that this discussion has arisen, in order that the world may see that as p ass i ons h ave become subdued all parties are favourable to' a policy ( f humanity and I mercy. (Hear.) If there be astonishment felt that a great party like the Liberal party, being superior, no doubt, in numbers both in the country and this house to what is called the Conservative party, should never theless find itself on the Opposi•ion benches, I think that that state of affairs can only be explained by this simple circumstance —that the party has been badly led and badly handled; that those who have conceived the policy which it should adopt and support have been mistaken, and we have, unfortunately, by those mis takes been led to the " .cold shade" of Opposition, when otherwise hon. gentlemen near me would have still been on the Treasury benches. I am firmly myself of this opinion, and I see no chance whatever of the restoration to power i f the Liberal party, unless that party brings forward its own measures, f tunded on its own prin ciples, and carries its measures through into practical effect, and shows to the country that it is not merely the Liberal party in name, but that it is earnest in the cause f reform, and will use power, when it has it to carry its principles into practical yeti lation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. COLLIER said that the Chancellor of the Ex eh( quer had charged _Gerd John Resse'l with grave mi representations of what he had said at S'ougl7; but, as the correctness of the report was admitted, be would read a short passage him it. Lord John Russell had said that he (Mr. Disraeli) accused certain statesmen of advocating a policy of cruelty, massacre, and extermina tion. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he had done no more than allude to confiscation. (Hear, hear.) Let the house judge between them. The right boo. gentleman was reported to have said, " But we had to decide—fur it was the turning point of our Indian em pire —the charact-r of the policy which ought to be pur friend (Lord Palmerston) for having dissolved this house after its vote respecting China. But why had he not seized the first opportunity to tell'his noble friend how unconstitutionally he had acted? It was marvellous that he had omitted until the preoent moment to notice that • when the house voted against the policy of the Chi• nese war the late First Lord of the Treasury, "the most popular Minister the country ever had," dissolved Par liament, in spite of all constitutional arguments to the contrary, which he must have imbibed from association with the noble lord (.1. Russell) and sect hon. members about their business. But why should the noble lord be so sensitive about a dissolution ? Did not ardent patriots always rejoice to meet their constituents ? (A. laugh.) If hon. members had been faithful to their trust, why should they fear to appear on the hustings ? The noble lord's speech showed a just appreciation of the disagreeable consequences of meeting his constituents to justify a vote in condemnation of the policy of Lord Ellenborough. He (Mr. Whiteside) thought that, unexpected as this discussion had been, nothing had b een sa id in th e course of it to prejudice either the conduct of the Government or the speech of his right hon. friend. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he had not intended to mis represent the right hon. gentleman. He thought the word used was " extermination ;" he now found that it was " unmitigated vengeance and massacre." (Hear, hear.) He assured the last speaker that he had not thrown any blame on Lard Palmerston for dissolving Parliament. Mr. GREFFI I'll having been frequently ref rred to, wished to observe that the majority of 200 is favour of the introduction of the Conspiracy Bill had been s-b -tained by the production of a despatch of Count Wa leviki, di-avowing the language of the French col noels ; but it was not then known that that despatch woul I re ceive the same publicity as the regimental addresses. Finding this was the case, he bad put the question to Lord Palmerston that had been referred to ; and he thought it a most appropriate question. CAPTAINS ON TaE HALF-PAY LIST. Sir DE L. EVANS moved for an humble address to her Msjesty praying that her Majesty would begraciou ly pleased to take into considerati in the hardship experi enced by captains of cavalry and infantry, who, having been reduced to the non-effective list by order of Govern ment, at the termination of the late war in 1856, and Doing replaced on the effective strength of the army on the breaking out of the war in the East in 1857, found themselves posted to regiments in relatively inferior rank to lieutenants, who had obtained the rank of cap tain, by purchase or otherwise, during the intermediate year of peace. The hon, and gallant gentleman, w. o was indistinctly heard, said ho understood that the cap tains of cavalry and infantry were pitched upon by the Goverument, when the non-effective list was made out, rather than the subalterns, because 6 I. or 71. additional per day would be saved ; but he thought that was by no means a justification of any departure from the ordinary practice, and he appealed to the house as a matter of equity in favour of redress being given to these officers. Tense officers had been reduced improperly and inequi tably, and were called upon after 10 months to come back, not to a peace but to a war service, many of them being men of most distinguished merit. He would not detain the house further. The amendment having been put, Col. NORTH had no objection to second the motion, and wished its objects could be carried into effect. He bad upon a former occasion remonstrated against the unjust treatment of those officers. Still, he must own there was great difficulty in dealing with the question. The amendment on the original motion having been put, Gen. PEEL replied, admitting the hardship of the case put by the hon. and gallant officer the member kr Westminster, but it was quite impossible to make the exception fir which he asked without erendirg it over the whole army. He was not in office at the time the reduction complained of took pace, and was not there fore responsible. Sir DE L. EVANS withdrew his amendment. EDUCATION IN TOE ARMY. Mr. MONSELL put three questions to the Secretary for War. The first was whether or not the right hon. gentleman intended to carry out the principle affirmed by a resolet.on of the House of Commons with regard to the scientific corps of the army ; if a minute had been issued to that eff!ct, and if such minute would Le laid upon the table of the house ? secondly, whe ther any changes were in contemplation in respi ct to Woolwich, in which place it was absolutely necessary to make °bulges for the reception of cadets, of whom there were now three or four of 21 or 22 years of age sleeping in the same room, and without pri vase rooms for study ? and thirdly, he wished to ask the right hon. gentleman as to the constitution of the coun cil of military education ? They were much indebted to, the Commander-in-Chief for the establishment of tie council of military education, which would produce the best results, but he wanted to know whether upon that courefl the right hoe, gentleman would not place an artillery officer, and also some civilian like Canon Mdse - ley, who was conversant with the subject generally ? He mentioned Canon Moseley as it was well known what time and attention he had given to this subject. Gen. PEEL replied to all three questions in the :Affir mative. It was the intention of the G ivernment to catty out the resolution of that house. A minute in accord ance therewith had been printed, arid would he laid on the table, that would improve the condition of the Wool wich establishment, and Canon Moseley had been ap plied to, and would accept a place in the council for military education.

He care to give a gentle and temperate rebuke t 4 his noble 'should have thought that, after the Crimean war, a dinai. no commensurate benefit. He had heard it said that it would be a great thing to have harbours of refuge on the north coast of England, the north-east coast of Ireland, and also on the coast of Scotland, but what he wished to call attention to was this, that it was doubtful whether the advantages would be so great as to jastify their expending a million or a half or a quarter of a million on these har bours. A committee was now sitting upon this subject and should they take any course committing the country to begin otker works as extensive as those at Dover, Holy head, Portland, and Alderney, it would be the duty of the House of Commons to step in and prevent what he thought would be a profuse and wasteful expenditure of the public money. He admitted that when the finances were in an easy condition the taxes might be legitimately applied to improving commercial harbours, but be believed that it would be better to grant small sums in aid of harbours already in existence, and which might be converted into harbours of refuge for all practicable purposes, instead of expending half or a quarter of a million in one particular place. Half-a-dozen grants of 10,00:?. or 20,000/. would do more to promote commerce than the expenditure of an enormous sum of money at one particular place. Mr. WILSON was surprised that his hon. friend had taken this opportunity of saying what he had said, when he knew that there was a committee still sitting, and on the eve of making a report, which would be on the table in a few diys. He was surprised that his friend should endeavour to prejudge that question when the committee upstairs had been sitting so long, and without seeing the evidence which had been laid before them. He thought it a most unfair mode of proceeding, and he would not follow the example of his hon. friend by discussing the matter. He was convinced that the evidence would dis close a state of things which could not be allowed to con tinue. He was quite aware that gentlemen who had in their minds particular localities, or a particular class of works, might wish to forestall the report of the committee ; but that was one of the inconveniences which must attend a matter of this kind. He could only say that ho believed it was the intention of the committee to report in a very few days, and, as at present advised, he had no doubt that a motion would be submitted to the house during the pre sent session based on that report. His hon. friend would have ample opportunity, with full materials, for judging of the report on that occasion. The present vote was for 170,000/ , which showed a decrease on the vote of last year of 51,0001., and it was stated that " this sum, with the balance remaining unissued of last year's vote, will be sufficient for the service of 1858-9." The vote, therefore, did not represent the expenditure of the year. A mere reduction of the amount of the vote would not lead to re duced expenditure, and he wished to know how much the expenditure for the ensuing year would be. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said if the hon. gentleman sup posed that all the information the house had was contained in the vote, he was not surprised at his requiring further details, but there was a note referring to a parliamentary paper in which he would find the fullest particulars. As to Dover harbour, the total estimate Was 650,000/., and the sum already voted 346,000/. The vote now required was 34,0001., leaving for subsequent votes 270,003. Then followed a detail of the work which had been done. As to the hon. gentleman's question, the sum appropriated to Dover lest year was 34,000/, which had been expended. For 'Alderney the sum voted was 100,0)01., of which there was expended 87,0001., leaving to be expended 1:3,0 01. in addition to the 60,000/. now asked. For Portland there was voted last year 90,000/., of which 83,231/. had been expended, leaving to be expended, nearly 2,0)0/. in addition to the 76,030/. Sir C. NAPIER, said perhaps it would have been better for his hon. friend to have waited for the harbour of re fuge report ; but for his part he wanted to advert to the harbour at Dover. He had never been able to find out the use of it. (Hear.) In 1812 and 1843 he had resisted the vote, and showed that to take Dover as the site for such a work would be totally and entirely useless for trading vessels going from east to west, for they could not get into the harbour. He thought that the sooner a stop was put to the matter the bettor, for the cost was just so much money thrown away. This was on the supposition that the har bour was for commercial purposes, bat if the Government would show that it was for the defence of the country, he, for one, would vote any amount they liked. As to the Alderney harbour, would any hon. gentleman tell him the use of it as a harbour of refuge ? It would be indeed use ful for French vessels, but not for English. Even if it was for defence what was the use of it? Originally the use of Alderney was that you could from thence look into Cher bourg, but now you could not do so. The other night he bad called attention to the defences of this country, and he trusted that no delay would occur in nominating the commission he had moved for. He did not think that the Government should lose a single day about it. Mr. DUFF must say that he really did not know any way in which the money of the country could be better expended than in making a few national deep water har bours of refuge for the commercial navy, and also for de fence. He hoped, however, that the Government would not neglect the suggestion of the hon, member for Mon trose (Mr. Baxter) as to expending small sums on other harbours. Mr. AIONSELLdid not think that the papers referred to by the Secretary for the Treasury were calculated to de crease their desire to know a little more as to the harbour at Alderney. The statement of the gallant admiral (Sir C. Napier) was that the harbour would be of no use— (hoar, hear, from Sir C. Napier)—and what was to be the cost of it ? Why, something more than 1,300,000/. There had been expended already C 00,090/. odd, and there remained to be expended 703,000/, though the original estimate w a s o n ly 6 0,00.,/. It appeared to him tol not too late to inquire whether they could not limit their expenditure to the ori ginal plan, that which was to have cost 603,0001. After a few words from Colonel SYKES and Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, • Mr. BAXTER said he understood that it was ar ranged that the vote for Alderney should be reduced by 30,000/. The CHAIRMAN put the question, that the Alderney vote should be reduced by 30,000/. Sir C. NAPIER wished to ask if any additional de fences were being built at Alderney ? Colonel' SYKES recommended the Secretary of the Treasury to make a calculation respecting Dover pier. At present it got on at the rate of 3d feet a quarter, and au expense of 35,000/. a-year. His opinion was that it would cost nearer six millions than 600,00)/ , and that neither the next generation nor the one after would ever see it finished. Mr. M. GIBSON said it was more fallacy to call Alder ney a harbour of refuge. It was intended as a rendezvous for men-of-war, and so chosen as being near the French coast. He did not see the us e o f it, an d he feared that in case of war it would be a source of weakness rather than of strength. Still if ho was to vote 30,030/. he did not see why he should not vote 60,000/., and therefore if he voted with the hon. member for Montrose ho must understand that ho had some clear and intelligible chance of retrench ment in view. As a general question he was in favour of expenditure for harbours of refuge. With respect to Alderney, he had great doubts as to the expediency of ex penditure there. Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped that after the discussion that had taken place the hon. member for Montrose would not press his motion. He was ready to admit that Alderney was not intended as a harbour of refuge, but as a naval rendezvous. There might be a difference as to the ex pediency of its construction, but the highest military au thoritied, inc'uding the late Duke of Wellington, had de clared for the necessity of the works shore. The works which were.now voted for (the Alderney) had already been commenced, and must be completed, but next year the go vernment would be prepared with estimates of their own, and would be able to state definitively what, in their opinion, ought to be done with Alderney. Mr. RIDLEY supported the vote. Mr. BRISCOE understood that even if these fortifications at Alderney were completed, it would take 5,000 men to gar rison them, and that even with that force it would be impos sible to hold them against a powerful enemy. He would suggest the suspension of the works, which he understood hal already been adopted in Jersey. Mr. MONSIe'LL hoped that the hon. member would not press his motion. After one or two further observations, the motion was withdrawn, and the vote was agreed to. 21,0001., Holyhead harbour. An HON. MEMBER asked when it was expected that Holyhead harbour would be completed ? Mr. GLYN suggested that the harbour should bo made a place of call for the American steamers. In answer to some observations by Mr. W. WILLIAMS, Mr. HAMILTON said that on the death of Mr. Rendell by the direction of the late Government a new estimate was made by Mr. Hawkshaw, which was that under dis cussion. Mr. WILSON said that injustice to the memory of Mr. Rendell it should be stated that his estimate of 628,000/., was frame 1 on a far smaller proportion with regard to the work; and it was in consequence of the repeated eaten siring of the plan that the increase in the estimates had oc cu: Mr. WILLIAMS could assure the hon. gentleman that ho was mistaken. The estimate was made by Mr. Rendell at 62 1 ,000/. for the same plan which Mr. Rennie and other engineers estimated at 1,700,0001. The vote was then agreed to. On the next vote, 1,0-19/. for the pay, establishment, and necessary works at Portpatrick Harbour, Mr. WILLI l MS said that it was now 11 years since as surance was given that there would be no further demaed for this work. The vote was agreed to ; as were 60,6 - dl, for erection, repair, and maintenance of the several public buildings in charge of the department of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland, 18,506/. for the works and establishment of Kingstown Harbour. A RIM of 88,110/. for the expenses of the two houses of Parliament was proposed. Mr. WISE thought the details of the expenditure of the House of Lords should be given. Sir G. C. LEWIS said it was impossible to give them. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the vote ought not to be passed without such details. The vote was agreed to. A sum of 51,000'. for the expenses of the Treasury was voted. The following votes were agreed to a -21.,7991., Howe Depertinent. 61,1100/., Foreign-office and Queen's messengers. 211,1711., Colenial-otlice. 67,8171., I'rivy Courted. A sum of 2,720/. fur the expenses of the Lord Privy Seal's Office. Mr. WISE said a committee had recomended that the office of Lord Privy Seal should be abolished. It was an office that was quite useless, and was commonly held by absentees. Ho trusted Government would consider this subject, and see if the office could not be transferred to sorno other department. Ile moved the rejection of the vote.

WILLIAMS remarked upon an increase in the salary of the private secretary to the Chief Commissioner of Works. made avowedly on the ground that the chief was a Cabinet Minister. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the duties of a private secretary to a Cabinet Minister were not confined to the mere functions of the office of Works. Mr. W. WiLLIAMS objected on principle to enlarging , notion rather than an increase would have taken place in those estimates. The vote was then agreed to, as were also the following votes :- 16,358/. towards completing the expenses of war ser vices- -39,5111. towards defraying the charges of general officers. 313,233. towards completing the allowances to retired officers. 139,132 7 . towards completing the allowances and pen sions to officers' widows. 34,313/. towards completing the allowances to wounded officers. 21,372/. towards defraying the expenses of Kilmainham Hospital. 802,563/ towards completing the allowances to the out pensioners of Chelsea Hospital. 86,1101. towards completing the cost of the superannua tion allowances. 46,219/. towards completing the expenses of maintaining the Royal Palaces. Mr. WILLIAMS could not conceive how such a sum could be proposed for the maintenance of the Royal Palaces, Agreed to. 110,631/. towards defraying the rent and expenses of maintaining and repairing offices. Mr. WISE, in reference to this vote, said it was much to be regretted that the numerous small offices were dis tributed in various parts of the metropolis, and not con centrated. Mr. WILLIAMS (after a few words from Mr. HAMIL TON, explanatory of the vote, and expre , sive of the inten tion of the Treasury to give their best attention to the sub ject), said that he saw a sum of 6,3311., and another sum of 7,073/. put down in the estimates for furnishing and maintaining those palaces, and also items for keeping up certain old abbeys in Scotland. Lord J. MANNERS said that the buildings referred to belonged to the country. and if they were to be kept up at all they must be so by the country. He could assure the hon. gentleman, however, that he would do his utmost to keep the expenditure down. As to the cost of coals and firewood, he a 'witted that it was large, but this would be almost the first year in which any attempt had been made to introduce supervision into this department, and he hoped that, by means of such supervision, considerable saving , would be effected. As to the large number of houses re quired for the war department he admitted that the hon. gentleman was quite right as to the facts, but as they came under another item, perhaps it was better not to discuss that question until they came to the proper time. Mr. WILLIAM i said he found sums down for the maintenance and repair of such places as Arbroath Abbey, Dunfermline Abbey, Dumblane Abbey, and others in Scotland. We had many old abbeys in this country, but their maintenance and repair did not cost the people at large anything. If these abbeys belonged to any place in particular it was Scotland, and Scotland ought to pay for them. Sir G. LEWIS said the reason why the old abbeys and public monuments in Scotland were charged on the public. while those in England were not, was, that the latter were gen-rally endowed, or were parts of large estates, while in Scotland there were no such private and independent means of support. With respect to the numerous houses that had to be hired for public business, and the rents that had to be paid for them, while he admitted that at first sight it might seem more extravagant than to have a concen trated suite of public offices upon one spot belonging to the Government, he doubted whether, on close examina tion, this would not prove an erroneous idea. It would be resrellected that many of those houses were hired merely to meet an accidental exigency, and could be relinquished whenever the emergency passed away. Many of them also ware devoted to business which required no immediate re ference to, or communication with the Secretary of State, and ho believed that the concentration of the public offices which had been so much talked of would not effect the saving, or be in the end so economical as was generally supposed. While he hoped that the present Government would continue the arrangements for the erection of at least a Foreign-office, and another, say for the War De partment, he trusted they would not commit themselves to any plan for creating a great portion of Westminster, and then come to the house with estimates to the extent of a million, which, in all probability, would be doubled before the works were finished. (Hear, hear.) In fact, it app pared to him that many of the plans which had been suggested on this subject had less the economy of the public purse in view than to give the civil service a more imposing character, and to embellish that part of the town at the expense of the country. (Hear.) After some remarks from Mr. SPOONER, Mr. BAXTER said the sums allotted to the support of the Scottish abbeys were paid by agreement on the abbeys themselves being handed over to the Government. Mr. SLANEY defended the expenditure upon these old monuments, because of the gratification which visits to them gave the public at large, to whom they belonged. The vote was then agreed to. On the next vote of 26,9267., for furniture for public offices and apartments, Mr. WYSE called attention to the fact, that within the last seven years the house had voted the large sum of 187,000/. for furniture. They voted 36,0 ',Ol.last year, and now this year again they were called upon to vote nearly 27,000/. more. (Hear.) Our public offices had a voracity for the consumption of furniture which was perfectly as tounding. Surely they would grumble if, as private gen tlemae, that item in their outlay amounted to anything like the same proportion. Furniture should last at least ten years, and although repairs might be required the sum for,that purpose could not be anything like that annually demanded under this heal. Mr. HAMILTON slid the estimate for the ensuing year was based upon that of last year, and he could ta , sure the hon. gentlemae that the utmost economy would be exer cised under this head. Mr. WILLIAMS quite concurred in the views as to the extravagance of this vote. Mr. TITE said he found under the head of the Museum of Geology, Gower-street School, and South Kensington Museum, an item of 5,705/. How much did the latter take He could not help thinking that the vote was lumped in order to cover an excessive vote to the South Kensington Museum. Lord J. MANNERS said that, as nearly as could be ascertained, the portion of the vote fur South Kensington Museum was 4,000/. Mr. SLANEY considered the money was most usefully and beneficially spent, and After some further conversation the vote was agreed to. On the next vote of 99,667/. for keeping in repair the royal parks end plantations, Mr. WILLIAMS said it appeared to bin that a great deal too much money was expended in this department, while, on the other hand, he thought that so much was not made of them as might be done. A considerable profit might be made in the sale of plants. Mr. ADAMS urged upon the noble turd the necessity of providing additional greenhouse accommodation at Kew Gardens. Those gardens were not for the exclusive use of any class. They were resorted to last year by upwards of 400,000 visitors of all cla ses, whose good conduct and careful protection of the property in the gardens entitled them to the highest credit. It was painful to see many of the plants dying for want of proper protection. In answer to Mr. Williams, he might mention that 10,000 trees had bean taken from the nurseries in the Royal Parke for Bat tersea Park, Victoria Park, and othor places, all of which would have bad to be paid for otherwise. Mr. SLANEY highly approved of the money expended on the parks and gardens, as conducive not only to the health, but the moral well-being of the community. Ile wished also to call the attention of the noble lord (Lord J. Maunera) to the fact that there were few benches in Vic toria Park—a place frequented chiefly by the working classes—and hoped that this additional accommodation would bo provided for them. (Hear.) Mr. HAMILTON said much credit was due to the late Chief Commissioner, and that every endeavour would be made to carry out the very proper arrangements which he had commenced and contemplator. Mr. SPOONER thought the house was rather lavish in ex pen (in; money on metropolitan parks, while the people of Birmingham, and other localities, were left to defray Expenses of a similar nature out of their own pockets. Lord J. MANNERS thought the metropolis had a de cided claim on the public at large ; but, in future, the ex incurred for public parks in the neighbourhood o f London would be comparatively small; and that the bene fitsbetnheefit of countrythe whole of derivable from them would be of such a gener a l na t ure that the people residing at a distance would h ave to j ust groan lof complaint. ([Tear, hear . ) ug e h s. t a t b o lis be supported fortlle by Colonel SYKES said the Kew Gar lens were a b o t an i cal at large. (Hear, hear.) The vote was then agreed to. 160,7081. was then proposed for the no w H ouses of Par school country, andinstruction, liament. Lord J. MANNERS said that sum did not include the expense of the bell, nor the coat incurred in finishing the face of the clock-tower. 8,0901. more would be requirei, m-oi he hovel the h , lq , grant it. Mr. WILLIAAS wished to know how soon tbis work would be completed.

Lord J. MANNERS said steps were being taken to re medy the evil complained of. (Hear.) Mr. SPOONER thought the sum asked for was very large, and hoped it would be the last vote asked for. Colonel SYKES inquired whether any arrangements had been made for the consumption of smoke. Lord J. MANNERS was not aware that anything of the kind bad yet been done. Sir B. r HALI, wished to know whether Sir C. Barry hnd furnished plans and specifications of the work remaining to 1» done, and estimates of the expense, and whether the present vote would cover all future expendi tur. Lord J. MANNEW3 said be had been furnished with such specifications emit estimates, but had not bad an op pot tunity of laying them on the table of the house before the recess. lie would now do so, and next week they would bo printed and in the hands of lion. members. The noble lord then laid the specifications on the table. Mr. WISE wished to know what was the total sum ex pended on the now houses, from the commencement to the present time. Lord J. MANNERS was unable to state the total amount, bnt the printed estimates would show the sum expended since the last Parliamentary vote. the vote was then agreed to. 3 1 ,0091. was then proposed for the War Department. Mr. ti ttISUOF, hoped that ample accommodation would 1r.3 ;allude l hereafter in one building for all the officers of the, dorartment. After a few words from Lord J.. MANNERS, the vote was ..greed to. • • . A grant of 31003/. was v..tel to defray the expenses connected with Probate Registries, and another of 4,7110/. to meat the expens e of 11, Irish Embassy houses abroad. 0,1 tho motion that 170,000/. bo granted to defray the expense of harbours of refuge. Mr. 11 Xl` 1?., IZ, said there existed out of doors a wish that the House of Commons would look more closely into the question of the utility of those harbours. Ho should like to know what the works at Dover had already cost, and what further MU they wore likely to cost. As to the (50,0001. for the harbour at Alderney, be was told that that harbour would never bo any great advantage to the com merce of this country. Ho wished to elicit the views of the Government as to harbours of refuge, for he had heard a great deal said as to the oxiravagance of which the House of Commons had been guilty in reference to this matter. Beyond this he had heard it stated that there was a great deal of jobbery in reference to the subject, and that schemes were being hatched which it would, become them to keep a jealous eye on. Ho thought that it would ill become them at this time to sanction any maw vote on this subject, which would involve ‘coniiderable expenditure, said which expenditure he thought would be attended with n the salary, simply because a change might take place in the statue of the chief. The vote was agreed to. 21,009/. for the public record and State paper-office. On the vote of 253,0521. for the salaries, &c., on account of the poor-laws, Mr. M`MAHON proposed to reduce the vote by 130,0001. the itam for the salaries, dret., of schoolmasters and school mistresses. These salaries were already paid out of the local rates, and they were again levied by -the Imperial Exchequer. Mr. :HAMILTON warned the house against re-opening the settlement of 1846, by which the consolidated fend bcre half of the expense of the Irish constabulary. Mr. WHITE supported, and Mr. BAGWELL opposed, the reduction. Mr. BOUVERIE believed that the salaries of the school masters and schoolmistresses, under the present system, were much larger than they could be if drawn from the consolidated fund. Mr. AYRTON contended that the education of pa uper children was a national, not a local question. Mr. I. BUTT thought it would be much better to raise the question on the vote for medical relief. Mr. Me.MAHON withdrew the motion, but moved the reduction of the vote by 100,0001., the salaries of the me. dical officers in the several poor-law districts. Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the settlement of 1846 vies* complex one, and he did not think it could be disturbed in detail. He believed that Sir Robert Peel meant a fair settlement when he relieved the landowners of certain bur- dens in consideration of the repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. W. MILES denied that Sir Robert Peel meant this in the way of compensation. If honourable gentlemen would take the trouble to investigate the question, they would find how much more the landed interest was bur dened more than any other class. By the repeal of the cor❑ laws many small fat mere had'been reduced to labour ers in this country, or were poor settlers in a foreign court• try. He admitted, however, that of late legislation had been in favour of the farmer. He had no objection to enter into the question of the re-adjustment of local bur• dens, but he thought that was not the proper time for doing so. His wish was that eventually taxation would be equal. The CHrINCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could net see the distinction that had been drawn by some hon. mew hers between medical officers and ichoolmasters, and the remuneration paid to, the same. The transfer of this and o• her charges, both in England and Troland, from the local rates to the Consolidated Fund, was not proposed by the late Sir R. Peel as a compensation for the repeal of the cofn laws. The course recommended by the hon. and learned gentleman was not a wise one, and he asked the committal to negative the motion. He did not think this a fitting opportunity for discussing the readjustment of local taxa. Lion. Mr. WILSON said these charges on the Consolidated Fund were proposed by the late Sir It. Peel in mitigation rather than compensation for the repeal of the corn laws. He hoped the hon. gentleman would not come to an issue, on this important subject on so narrow a point of view. Mr. I. BUTT considered this a very simple question. The same plan that was adopted in England ought to be applied to Ireland, and not compel Ireland to pay its own charges for medical officers, and a share of those charge% for England. It was not just or honest to Ireland, and unless the Government would give the committee a pledge of considering the question with a view to its alteration , he would vote for the amendment. After some remarks from Lord JOHIg BROWNE And Mr. AYRTON, Mr. M"MAHON having replied, The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority ... —7O On the vote being put, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY suggested an amendment of th?, laws to ge t r id o f th e P oor-Law Commissioners, wh i c h would effect a great saving. The - CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEqUER moved ! vote of 50,0001. on account, for defraying the charges 13 civil contingencies for 1858-9. After some remarks from Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the excess of expenditure of last year arose from exceptiona l circumstances, arising out of the commission to China, the Paris Conference, &c. All he asked for was a sum on As' count, and he hoped the committee would allow this vote to pass. air. D. MICHELL objected to so large an amount be: ing taken on account, and moved that the chairman repor° progress. _ _ Sir G. C. LEWIS hoped the hon. gentleman would not persist in his motion, but allow the vote to be pawed' Ample opportunity would be given for discussing th ° question when the remainder of the question came before the house. The motion was withdrawn, and the vote agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress and the house re' Burned. The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad• journed at ten minutes to one o'clock.
