THE BOMBAY MAIL• Bp the arrival of the Bombay mail we have received our private correspondence and files of Papers from Bombay to the Bth of May. " BOMBAY, MAY 8. " The news which during the past fortnight has reached ua from the various localities in which British troops are combining with tho enemy and with the intense and male ficent heat of the weather is, en the whole, of a checquered 114pecti. During the latter days of April two reverses were Inp er i e nced by our arms---one in Oude, the other in Behar. each case the loss of pratige was greater than the loss of officers and men, yet that was far from inconsiderable. THE DISASTER AT ARRAH. ' You may, perhaps, have heard of the disaster at Arrah by the lest tJalcutta mail, but details of the event can hardly have reached the capital in time to be forwarded by that opportunity ; so I will sat down what we know of an affair that made the neighbourhood of Arrah notable for the repulse of a British detachment. You will re member that I mentioned in my last the relief of Azimghur by Sir Edward. Lugard, who dissipated the besieging force commanded by the well-known rebel Kooer Singh. This active enemy, beaten upon his new ground, bethought himself of retiring to his old haunts across the Ganges in the neighbourhood of Arrah, the scene of his former temporary success and subsequent defeat by Vincent Eyre, with the handful of Artillery and the sth Fusiliers. Ac cordingly, with such of his men as remained with him-- 2,000 sepoys, it is said, and a swarm of rabble —he moved downwards towards the Ganges. He was vigorously pur sued, and it was hoped that he would be caught in the angle formed by the confluence of the Gogra and the Gauges. Brigadier Douglas pressed him on the east, Colonel Camberlege, with his two Madras regiments of cavalry and COssienabad, on the west. The former officers brought him to action at a place called Bansdeb, and drove him from the field severely wounded. Still his craft and skill did not desert him. Turning Colonel 9umberlege's line of march, he struck the Ganges is his sear at the Bulleah Ghat, previously guarded by the Colonel, but now abandoned for the onward movement which was to complete the cordon round the rebel leader. Thence Kooer Singh crossed in boats to the southern side of the river, just escaping steamers sent with troops from Dina pore and Ghazeedore directly it was known that he had eluded his pursuers. Once across the river he made for Jugdespore, near Arrah , an old lair of his, lying in thick jungle, but blown up last year by Eyre. The neighbouring garrisons were at once on the alert, and to strengthen them the Gth Foot was sent up from Calcutta by rail to Raneegunge, and the Naval Brigade on its way down was halted at Sasserem. Arrah was held by some three com panies of the 35th and some Sikhs. It was on the 20th or 21st of April that Kooer Singh's force reached the jungles of Jegdespore. On the night of the 22d part of the Arrah garrison 'novel out to seek and attack him. Captain Le Grand,of the 35th, commanded, having with him 150 of his own men, 52 sailors, and ICO of Rattray's Sikhs, with two 12-pounder howitzers. His expedition was unsuccessful. Overpowered by numbers, and attacked in the thick jungle, the party was repulsed, losing their two howitzers, Le Grand himself, Lieut. Massey, and Dr. Clarke killed, and *beat 130 men and officers wounded. This was on the 23d. Meanwhile Brigadier Douglas was preparing to pursue them. Re began to cross the Ganges on the 25th. On the 29th two companiea of the 84th and two Horse Artillery guns reached Arrah, and on the Ist of this month came in the rest of the 81th, aid 100 Sikh Cavalry. Sir E. Lugard, with the rest of his division, was to commence the passage of the rivet on the 3d. The enemy were by this time estimated at 7,000 men, and were entrenching themselves and getting in supplies. Most of them, however, were vil lagers, and they had but one small gu n in addition to the two howitzers taken from Le,Grand, and, more encourag ing still, Kooer Singh is no more. So, at least, we are as sured by telegrams from Allahabad and Calcutta—' there is no doubt that Kooer S in g h is dead.' He was badly wounded, as I have said, in his engagement with Douglas, and probably succumbed during his hasty flight. More fortunate than others of his kind, and than his treason, if not his capacity, deserved, he has died the death of a sol dier. A .formidable opponent is thus removed. 25,000 rupees had been set upon his head. Nuttee Singh, his brother, commands in his stead. " Colonel Rowcroft, when last heard of was still in the om4ali District, where he repelled another rebel attack on the lith of last month, as you have doubtless heard fr,,m Calcutta. , This was before Kooer Singh recrossed the C sups. GENERAL WALPOLE'S DEFEAT. " General Walpole's column left Lucknow on the Bth of April, marching for Etohilcund, on the left or °ride bank of the Ganges. In the course of his march he came upon one of the many forts in which Oade abounds on the 14th inst. The place is called Rhodamow ; it is a mere high wall enclosing some houses, with loopholes for musketry, some irregular bastions at the angles, and two gate, both 'on the same face of the work. Brigadier Wal pole's column was a complete army in itself, consisting of 5,000 or 6,000 British infantry, cavalry, field and siege guns, and mortars. As he advanced in the neighbourhood of this fort, which was placed in a jungle, he heard that a body of 1,500 of the enemy had thrown themselves into the place, and without, as it would ap pear, obeying the instructions he had received, and he general orders forbidding any attack on such positions except with heavy artillery, the Brigadier ordered or per mitted an attack, which was completely unsuccessful. Part of the 42d Highlander's and of the 4th Punjab regi ment (Wyld's) proceeded to the assault, but they were received with such a tremendous fire from an almost un seen enemy that they were unable to continue their ad vance, and as Brigadier Adrian Hope was engaged under the very walls in restoring order and getting the men to gether to retire he wart shot dead by a Sepoy from above. Bramley and Douglas of the 42d regiment were also killed. Willoughby, of the Punjabees, a most excellent officer, was struck down never to ride again, and Cope of the same regiment, and Cockburn of the 42d, were se verely wounded.. Of the 96 men of the Punjaub regiment there were 45 killed and wounded , and in the 42d High landers there were in a short time 55 casualties. Ea igadier Walpole then brought up his artillery and began to shell the place, but so badly was the investing operation con elucted that in the course of the night the enemy were enabled to evacuate the place without molestation, al though the gates, as I have said, were both on the same face of the work, and when we entered next morning all we found were the bodies of three Sepoys, some attar, flour, and it is said, rive guns. Had the whole of the enemy been destroyed it would have been but sorry compensation for the loss 'of Adrian Hope. Of conspicuous gallantry among gallant men, of untiring zeal, of great shrewdness and eornmon Sense, he possessed a gentleness of manner sand kindness of heart, evidenced in all his acts, which endeared him to all who served with him or under him, and which strengthened the confidence they felt in his high soldierly qualities. His loss is at this juncture irreparable - at any time it would be grave and lamentable. Brigadier Wal pole's despatch, no doubt, will be published, and we shall then see what is his account of the transaction. It is with no sinister or unfair object I mention the' fact that this gallant officer has had little experience in the field ; that much of his time has been passed on the staff and in the Islediterranean, and not in high regimental employ, and thatle obtained the command of the splendid force he temporarily leads because he was one of the senior colouels of this army. . . . It turns out that there were not 300 of the enemy in the fort. The attack was mismanaged --officers and men were uselessly sacrificed, and their loss w e re not avenged. At the very moment that the Sikhs anti the 42d were desperately clambering up the walls of the fort, helping each other up by hand and leg and firelock, and just as they were getting at the enemy, they were re• celled, and in their retreat they suffered as much as in the attack. It is stated that there was a passage where the oavalry could have got in, but that they were not per -witted to make the attempt , The men were furious at the repulse, and clamoured loudly to be led to the easeult. The Sikhs had lost Willoughby, and Cope was • %roundel. The 93d had lost Adrian Hope. The 42d left the bodies of Bramley, Douglas, and many gallant comrades behind them. In the middle of the fight „Adrian Hope, ever regardless of his own life where the lives of. hie soldiers were concerned, rushed to the wall of the fort to withdraw the men. His aide-de-camp Butter said to him, " The fire is very hot, General." As he 'spoke the Brigadier fell, shot fro m above through the neck, shoulder, and lungs. He said, " They have done for me. Remember me to my - friends," and died in a few seconds. At the funeral, which was most affectin g , the 93d wept like children for their beloved Colonel. There was not a dry eye in Bramley's company as his body a as borne to the grave. His body and that of Douglas were recovered by the most daring gallantry, which will not, I trust„go unrewarded. When the men retired, Simpson, the quartermaster-sergeant of the regiment, hearing that two officers were left on the ground, rushed out to the ditch of the work, and, seizing the corpse of poor Bramley, brought it in ou his shoulders. He next s'arted out and recovered the body of Douglas in the same way, and then, undeterred by the incessant fusillade of the enemy, this gallant seldier again and again renewed his labours, and never ceased till he had carried in the bodies of five more of his comrades.. Two men wore killed in attempting to imitate this noble soltti sr. Does lee not well deserve the Vic. toriaCroes? I pole's subsequent march was more successful, for on the 22. l the artillery and cavalry had a tight of their own with the enemy, ant took four guns and their camp, inflicting on them such lose that they fled across the Ram lonia at Allygunge► without attempting to destroy the bridge they had cons'tructed across the river, so that wo not only secured Allygunge, but the means of sending our siege 'train over the Rataguriga at the very spot where it was desired to do so. MOVEMENTS CE SIR COLD/. Sri' Colin crossed the Gauzes on the 27th ; was . at Jel laba.) id on the 23th • j Walpole ou the 29th or 30th ; and the uuited for ce entered Shahjehanpore without opposition on the 3 th or theist of this month, " iearrwhile the Itoorco k • fi eld force under Col. Jones, of the 60th Rifles, as Di igivlier, having crossed into llohil can't front Hurd war on 16th, and scattered the enemy who opposed their passage, entered Nojeebrb id OIL the 1 4 th. The Nawab had fled to Bareilly; hie palace was sacked awl bernt. His brother was taken a nd immediately hanged. It was thought that the Cotumender-in-Chief %coat be before Bareilly by about the s th of this,urontli. No gre3t amount of resistance is looked for. THE REBELS AT CALFEE " Near Cawopore, small parties of rebels—mutineers and erased rabble--have appeared at two places in this district, one named Solger, where they plundered the little local 'treasury and wounded the official in charge of it. A large body of the rebels is still at Calpee. The main body, however. 12,000 strong it is said, has moved out and oc cupied Koouch on the .411:mai-road, commanded by Tanteea Tepay,tha fugitive chiefs of Banda and Shalighur, and he Ranersof Jhansi. There they were observed by Major Orr, of the Hyderabad Cavalry—the former to the left, at 1 . !,11,ee called Pooch, and 'guarding the ford of the Bet wa rsrle 3ll : the latter further to the right, guarding the ford of the gavels river at Kota a. Oecesionally tbeyshowcd themselves in some force s the Ranee h rself being at once discerned, dress e d a nd mounted like a native csvaller.

Perha p s he plashed on, and on that slay eu eounteted• the enemy. That an action has been fought we know by telegraph, but the date is not given; nor are theta any details, save that the enemy was defeated, losing 400 or 500 men, and that a stand would probably be iewle by the fugitives at some place or places short of Calpeo, of which the names aro mangled beyond recogni tion. To the right of Sir H. Rose's line of advance has lain that of General Whitlock, who on the 19th of April fought A pitched battle with. the -Nawab of Banda, outside laic town, which lasted from half-past 5 in the morning till The superiority of the enemy in numbers was probably six to one, but they were driven off the field with the loss of four guns and 50D killed. Horse Artillery and Cavalry followed in pursuit. The town was occupied, and the little brigade advanced upon Calpee the next day, Little, as I have said, is known with certainty of the late proceedings of the Kotah fugitives. Nor is the fact of their getting off so easily, to which I alluded in my last, yet explained. The force is broken up between Nnssee rabad and Neemuch, some Cavalry and Horse Artillery still keeping the field, in the track of the fugitives, under Colonel Smith, of the 3d Dragoons, as Brigadier. All is well in the Punjab. Cotton's force out in the hills liner Peshawur, was engaged on the 22th and 26th of last month, and burnt a rebel village, taking much spoil. Ono o the newly raised Punjab regiments, under Lieut. Thel w all, here distinguished itself. The Bombay Presidency is quite quiet, but, as usual, for the Bheels. Another fight in the Satpoora hills with those troublesome little men, and their more dangerous aides of Rohilla or Affghan blood we look shortly to hear of. We extract the following from the letter of Mr. Rusiell, the special correspondent of the Times : THE COSTUME OF THE ARMY. How good Sir George Brown, for instance, would stand aghast at the sight of these sun-burnt " bashi-bazouks," who from heel to head and upwards set at defiance the sacred injunctions of her Majesty's Regulations ! Except the Highlanders, not a corps that I have seen sport a mor sel of pink or show a fragment of English scarlet. The Highlanders wear eccentric shades of gray linen over their bonnets—the kilt is discarded, or worn out in some regi ments, and flies, mosquitoes, and the sun are fast render ing it impossible in the others. Already many officers who can get trews have discarded the ponderous folds of wool len stuff tucked into massive wads over the hips, and have provided some defence against the baking of their calves by day, and have sought to protect their persons against the assaults of innumerable entomological enemies by night. The Artillery have been famished with excellent head-covers and good frocks of light stuff. Lord Cardigan, in his most sagacious moments, would never light on the fact that those dark-faced, bearded horsemen, clad in snowy white, with finless lances glittering in the sun, are the war-hardened troopers of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, or that yonder gray tunioked cavaliers, with ill-defined head-dresses, belong to the Queen's Bays. The 7th Hussars, the Military Train, have vestiary idiosyncrasies of their own, but there is some sort of uniformity among the men. Among the officers individual taste and phan tasy have full play. The infantry regiments, for the most part, are dressed in linen frocks, dyed carky or gray slate colour—slate blue trousers, and shakoes pro trcted by puggerees, or linen covers, from the sun. The peculiarity of carky is that the dyer seems to be unable to match it in, atry : ,trytaE t ieces, and that it exhibits endless variety of shades, varying with every washing, so that the effect is rather various and pleasing on the march or on the parade-ground. But the officers, as I have said, do not confine themselves to carky or to anything else. It is really wonderful what fecundity of invention in dress there is, after all, in the British mind when his talents can be properly developed. To begin with the headdress. The favourite wear is a helmet of varying shape but of uniform ugliness. In a moment of inspiration some Cal cutta hatter conceived, after a close study of the antique models, the'great idea of reviving for everyday use the awe-inspiring headpiece of Pallas Athena, and that re markably unbecoming affair—Minerva was above caring for appearances—became the prototype of the Indian tope in which the wisest and greatest of mankind looks simply ridiculous and ludicrous. Whatever it might be in polished steel or burnished metal, the helmet is a decided failure in felt, or wickerwork, or pith, as far as external effect is concerned. It is variously fabricated, with many varieties of interior ducts and passages leading to escape holes for imaginary hot air in the front or top, and around it are twisted infinite colours and forms of turbans with fr ing 3d ends and laced fringes. When a peacock's feather, with the iris end displayed, is inserted in the hole in the top of the helmet, or is stuck in the puggery around it, the effect of the covering is much enhanced, and this style is rather patronised by some of the staff. The coat may be of any cut or material, but shooting jackets hold their own in the highest posts, and a carkey-coloured jerkin, with a few ta,thus of iron curb chain sewed on the shoulders to resist sabre cuts, is a general favourite. The sword is of all de scriptions, except the regulation, which is not much in vogue, and it is slung in many ways in many belts, of which the reglation again is rarely seen. There are native tulivars with English handles and guards, old cavalry sabres with new hilts, Damascus blades in leathern sheaths, :ard these are hung by broad shoulder belts at the hip, or depend from iron hooks fixed in broad buff waistbelts. Dm revolver—scarcely a " regulation " weapon for the army yet—is universally worn, and I have seen more than one pistol in one of the cummerbunds or long sashes which some of our officers wear round the stomach in the oriental fashion. As to the clothing of the nether man, nothing but a series of photographs could give the least notion of the numerous combinations which can be made out of the leg, leather, pantaloons, and smallclothes. Long stage boots of buff-coloured leather, for the manufacture of which Cawnpore is fatuous, pulled over knee breeches of leather or regimental trousers, are common. There are officers who prefer wearing their Wellingtons outside their panta loons, thus exhibiting tops of very bright colours, and the boot and baggy trousers of the Zouave officer are not un . known. TH - E SUN, LONDON, We append the announcement of Sir William Peel's death as we find it in the Mofussilite of the 30th ult.:— " News was received in Agra yesterday of the death of Captain Sir William Peel, R N., at Cawnpore, on Wed nesday, the 27th instant. His disease was small-pox. which attacked him seven days previously. The loss of this intrepid officer will be deeply felt wherever his name was known. He was one of the finest specimens of our countrymen that ever came to these shores, and had all that real greatness of inspiration which belongs to the true hero. He was of the same grand old type to which Nelson belonged, and will live like him in the hearts of the English. It is the fate of most great men, and parti cularly those of Indian fame, to have their deeds doubted and denied by many, even when the voice of the world is ringing with their praises. Were we to believe many statements of great apparent respectability and impartiality, wo should be compelled to come to the conclusion that nearly all of our Indian heroes upon whom honours are being bestowed are ' over-rated men,' if not ranch worse ; that their great deeds are solemn delusions, and that some of them deserve punishment rather than reward, Envy of course has something to do with such assertions, and misapprehension something more. But as far as Captain Peel is concerned his exploits have been so conspicuous and unmistakeable, that envy has been for once silenced, and misapprehension has been impossible. There has been but one opinion of his actions, as there will be but ono feeling for his death. It is here worthy of remark that Captain Peel, when remonstrated with for exposing himself with the wonderful courage and impunity which he did, to the thickest fire, declared that he bore a charmed life, and that there was no bullet which could bring him down. His thousand escapes from the most imminent danger in the field might almost justify this conclusion, and as far as the fortunes of actual warfare wore concerned, Cipta,in Peel braved them all, and only recently sustained any serious injury. He and his friends had not calculated upon the greater enemy that he would have to encounter, and before whom he fell. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM THE 24TH OP APRIL TO THE 7TH OF MAY. (prom the Bombay Times.) The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Ganges, with the English mails of the 2d April, arrived here in the night of the 26th April. Our money market continues very tight. IMPORTS. Cotton Piece Goods -L The inactivity in the market noticed in our last has increased, and the prices of 'almost all descriptions of gray goods have exhibited a downward tendency. This decline might fairly be attributed to the late l eriod of the season. In gray jaconets, however, the tr.►nsaations have been to a large extent, as also in gray T cloth. ......... Bleached and Fancy Goods—Bleached shirtings are in less inquiry than before ; of bleached jaconets moderate sales are reported ; bleached madapollams are quite dull of sale. Marine Storee.—Cordage is very dull of sale, the demand for consumption baing limited ; canvas is abundant in the market, and very dull of sale. A few transactions in twine. CAMP GROUPINGS. Our camp, indeed, presents the most picturesque group ings in the world. At night when the camp fires light up the swarty faces of the native followers, or the moonlight falls on their motionless bodies, wrapped in shroud-like folds of white, each lying by his camel, his bullock, his elephant, or his master's tent, and so thickly that one can scarcely step without rousing a slumbering Hindoo—in the heat of the day, when the trees cast their dark shadows on the parched yellow plains, and afford a shifting shelter to the syces, bheesties, kelassies. and all the various tribes dependent on the march of armies--at every hour, all aroma l us, there are objects which possess that extraordi nary combination of form and colour which has induced so many men to deceive themselves and others, and to tell untruths about " tho gorgeous East,- that Orientalism which begins in Turkey in Europe and ceases with Burman and China. What it is I cannot describe, but I feel and know that it exists. Just before my tent at this moment there is a group which could not be met with in any part of the world beyond the regions I have indicated. Suke ram, the syce, is superintending the shoeing of a horse. In order to do so he has complicated himself with that ani mal's hind legs in a fantastic and traditional manner won derful to behold. He has seated himself on his haunches as (ally an Oriental can, between the horse's legs, one of which he has pulled over his shoulder so as to present the hoof to the farrier ; while his disengaged arm is passed round the other leg of the animal, which " accepts the situation" as it has been handed down to him for thousands of years. Sukeram is a grave, handsome fellow, with a white turban on his head, one end of which floats over his shoulders, and a white piece of cotton wrapped round his loins, leav ing his brown body and legs to shine in the blazing sun. He looks as intelligent as most Englishmen, but in reality he has no idea, or will not have one, of any earthly duty beyond the care of that horse whose tail he has just fastened to a strap passed round the fetlock. His wife— for he has a faithful attendant in all his marches—whose arms are covered with brass rings from wrist to elbow, and on whose anclea jingling bands of metal make pleasant music as she walks, is mixing up his rice and curry in a bright brass pot, covered in one long fold of cotton, so that only her arms and feet are visible, and on her hip a small imp is perched, obstreperous for his meal, and see he gets it, so delicately and decently that our ladies at home might envy the process, for a fold of the robe is opened, the tawny body disappears inside and is covered by the robe, and only a pair of legs are left visible, which soon by their easy modulations give tokens of the satisfaction of the youthful proprietor with the treatment he is receiving inside. AN INDIAN 3311TH. The smith, a brawny fellow in a short pair of drawers and a yellow turban, whose muscles stand out like those of a bronze• Hercules, is using the most extraordinary looking implements of farriery with great skill, but any motion of the horse's heel must inevitable catch him right on the bridge of the nose. A young man, who may be a perpetual out-door apprentice of the smith, and whose only business seems to be the abstraction of smoke from a huge pipe, is seated on the ground watching the operation. But, as watching is. an act on the due performance of which ovary Oriental operation in a great measure depends, it is not left to the apprentice alone— a tame monkey an•l a parrot take an intense interest in it, and a great tall Sikh, all black eyes and whiskers, moustaches and beard, and shining white teeth, with a real awash-buckler swagger' and stride, is coming over to join them. AX IRREGULAR HORSMAN. , Judging by his turban he is one of Wale's 'Torso. Light limbed, sinewy, and active, the air of those fellows makes us appreciate the valour of those Englishmen who crushed the race in battle. I have never seen finer men, so far as the look goes, than many of those Irregular Horsemen, or the troopers of the Punjab Cavalry ; but if an anatomical, though not an equestrian, object might be made to them, it would be that their legs and thighs, though exceedingly straight, are thin and . su3all, and that their calves are not well developed. Many of - them are exceedingly handsome, awl all have fine ayes and teeth ; they divide their beards at the chin and plait them with their whiskers, which they turn up and knot in a bunch on the top of the heed under the turban to prevent the ends of the hair splitting, and on state occasions they comb out these masses of black hair, of which they are very proud. Their shouhler e are broad and square, their arms mus cular, their hands and feet very small and well-shaped The general dress and equipment of these irregulars are large turban, the colour of which denotes their regiment ; a tunic of carky, blue or gray, fastened at the waist by a Lush and belt, from the latter of which depends a bread curved thigh atsabea cut;r k e t e h n e a f s or e t r a zboera, bears haitchlowaisltl onelop p off i a t h o le: a l Li.; over the shoulders is slung a carabine, or rifle and cal touch-bex.

DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM PEEL. . (From the Bombay Gazette.) The latest news from Dinapore conveys the melancholy intelligence of the death of Captain Sir William Peel. He died at Cawnpore on the 27th of April.- Having passed unscathed through the ordeal of the Sebastopol trenches and through the siege of I.pcknow, without anything more than a Revue wound, this brave and admirable officer died of that fearful scourge of India, the stuall•poz. EXPORTS. Cotton.—From the latest unpromising advices From England the prices of this staple have considerably fluctu ated during the fortnight ; and a general decline has to be no iced. Broach has been sold on European account ; and Comerawuttee is also in inquiry. Oil Seeds.—There has been no material alteration in the prices of the different sorts of seeds, and the transactions have been to a fair extent during the period of report. Rapeseed has advanced from 1 to 2 minas. Pepper.—This article is in demand, and the prices have undergone no noticeable decline. Hemp.—Very little business is being transacted in this commodity. Tonnage. —The rates of freights continue depressed, and have further declined. We quote 1/. to 1/. ss. to Liver pool and London. Tu China, rupees 4 per candy, almost nominal. Exchange.—The rates for London have advanced to 2s. 10. to 2s 111 at six months' sight; on China, we quote rupees 214, at 60 days' sight. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND LORD CANNING'S PROCLAMATION. Yesterday was issued, as a return to Parliament, the following copy of a letter from the Court of Directors of the East India Company to the Gover nor-General in Council, dated the 11th day of May Political Department, 18'.11 of May (No 20), 1858. Our Governor-General of India in Council. Paragraph 1. The Secret Committee has communi cated to us the Governor-General's secret letter, dated sth March (No. 9), 1858, with its enclosures, consisting of a letter addressed to the Chief Commissioner of ()ode, dated 31 of March, and of the proclamation re ferred to therein, which was to be issued by Sir James Outram to the chiefs and inhabitants of Oude as soon as the British troops should have possession or command of the City of Lucknow. 2. We have also received communication of the letter addressed to your Government by the Secret Committee, under date the 19th of April last, on the subject of the draft of proclamation. 3. Our political letter of the 5,h of May has apprised you of our string sense of the distinction which ought to be mAatained between the revolted sepoya and the chiefs and pe-ple of Oude, atd the comparative indulgence with which, equally from justice and policy, the hour gents of that country (other than sepoys) ought to be re garded. In accordance with these views, we entirely ap prove the guarantee of life and honour given by the proposed proclamation to all talockdars, chiefs, and landholders, with their follower, who should make im mediate submission, surrender their arms, and obey the orders of the British Government, provided they have not participated in the murder cf Englishmen or English women." 4. We are prepared to learn that in publicly declaring that, with the cxciption of the lands of six persons who HO been steedlast in the allegiance, the proprietary right in the sod of the province was confiscated to the Briti h Government, the Governor-General intended ne :wire than to reserve to himself entire liberty of action, and to give the character of mercy to the confirmation of all rights not prejudicial to the public welfare, the owners of which might not, by the'r conduct, have ex c'uded themselves from indulgent considerat'on. 5. His lordship must have been well aware that the words of the proclamation, without the comment on it which we trust was speedily afforded by your actions, must have produced the expectation of much more gene-. ral and indiscriminate dispossession than could have teen consistent with justice or with policy. We shall doubtless be it formed, in due course, of the reasons which induced the Governor General to employ those terms, and of the means which, we presume, have beer, taken of making known in Oude the merciful character which we assume must still belong to your views. Le the meantime, it is due to the Governor-General that we should express our entire reliance that on this as on former occasions it has been his firm resolution to show to all whose crimes are not too great for any indulgence the utmost degree of leniency consistent with the early restoration and firm maintenance of lawful authority. Wo ace oelingly have to inform you that, on receiving communication of the papers now acknowledged, the Court of Directors passed the following resolution : " Resolved—That in reference to the despatch from the secret committee to the Governor-General cf India, the 1911 ult., with the documents therein alluded to, and this day laid before the Court of Directors, this coon desires to express its continued confidence in the Governor-General, Lord Canning, and its conviction that his measures for the pacification of Oude and the other disturbed districts in India, will be characterised by a generous policy, and by the utmost clemency that is found to be consistent with the satisfactory accom plishment of that important object."—We are, &c., (Signed) F.

IMPERIAL PAR LIAMENT. lIOUSE OF COMMONS.---(YEsTnRDAY.) The S:.'EAKEII took the chair at four o'clock. SUPPLY. On the bringing up of the report, Mr. lIORSMAN defended himself from the insinua tion thrown out on a former night, by the hon. member for Wexford, relating to the manner in which he (Mr. Eforsman) conducted his official business when Secretary for Ireland. Mr. McMAFION - -complained of the right hon. gen tleman selating his remarks on which . td found a charge prejudicial to him (Jr. McMahon), whilst he had passed over stronger remarks from his friends on the same sub ject. He (Mr. McMahon) had intended to have retracted what he had said about the right hon. gentleman being above his office, which was a matter of opinion ; but he now thought he should bo able to prove that the right hon, gentleman, so far from being above his office, and looking down on it, was very much beneath it. The Lou. and learned gentleman then referred to his state ments on a farmer occasion, and to the right hon. gen tleman's reply, and reiterated his charge against him in not having trusted him, 39 one gentleman ought to trust another, in matters of public business. The aristocratic gentleman had selec:ed him (Kr. McMahon) as a vic tim, whilst he bad allowed the hon. and learned gentle man the member for Roscommon to make use of stronger language against - -his official conduct and in his presence without resenting it. The general impression in Ireland was that the right hon. gentleman was the most inefficient Secretary for Ireland they had ever had. Sir G. GREY regretted the time of the hoase bad been taken up in a personal difference beween the two hon. gentlemen. He bore testimony to the efficient manner the right hon. gentleman had discharged official duties that came within his (Sir G. Grey's) knowledge relative to Irish affairs. Lord NAAS detailed the duties that devolved on the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and said they were not of that light and unimportant character which the right hon. gentleman the member f Strood considered them to be. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said the right hon. gentleman, during the time they were colleagues, paid the greatest attention to his official duties, and appeared to be well informed on Irish affairs. He also found him courteous in manner, attentive to all applications made to bim, and most anxious to give every information pos sib!e. He regretted to find the right hon. gentleman (qr. Horsman) had disparaged the duties of the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr. VANCE complained of the conduct of the right hon. genthman whilst ha teas Chief Secretary for Ireland. He invariably put Irish bills at the bottom of the list, and it was impossible to get from the right hon. gentleman if ho intended to proceed with them.; and Irish members were put to the inconvenience of remaining ttl: the adjournment of the house to watch the course he intended to pursue with them. Mr. BLAND repeated his statement, made on a former evening in Mr. Horsman's absence, to the effect that he bad always met with great courtesy from that gentleman. Mr. BAGVVELL made a similar statement. Mr. HORS M AN said a few words in explanation. The remaining items in the report were then agreed to. courts, but it waq found that it would be impossible to do that in London. Mr. WILLIAMS doubted whether it was expedient to maintain a court of insolvency in London. • - Mr. WALPOLE said a diminution of expenditure might be effected by an amalgamation of the courts of insolvency and bankruptcy, though not to any great ex tent immediately, because compensation would have to be given to the judges and cfficers of the courts. It was also under the consideration of Government whether it would not be wise to abolish imprisonment for debt, where it was unacclmpanied by fraud. (Hear.) . Mr. J. FITZGERALD said that the amalgamations of the bankruptcy and insolvency courts had been sue cessful in Ireland. . The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 35,1631. for the axpensea of the Court of Probate., Mr. BUTLER wished to know whether this vote in cluded the expenses of the Prerogative-office ? The vote was very large. Mr. HAMILTON said the vote was large, and he feared it would be larger ; but, on the other hand, the sum received from fees was very considerable. The amount received between January and May was 19,6521. (Hear) It would be the duty of the government to keep down the expenditure, Mr. HADFIELD complained that the Court of Ad miralty had not been thrown open to the. whole profes sion. The public had given ample compensation, but they had not got what bad been promised. Mr, WILSON said that the fees had been fixed with a view to make the court self-supporting. Of course that was a speculation. When the salaries were fixed the present judge proposed them at a low rate—also as an experiment. The amount of fees and salaries was therefore subject to revision. Mr. WARREN said that the late Lord Chancellor introduced a bill t 3 amend the Court of Probate Act, and when that bill came to the House of Commons it was his intention to move clauses throwing open the Court of Admiralty to the whole profession. Mr. SALISBURY said that considering the large amount of compensation which had been given be thought the e ,, urt should be thrown open. Mr. 11A.DFIEL D pressed foran expression of opinion from the treasury bench. Mr, WALPOLE had nothing to do with the bill, and therefore could not give any explanation of the reason why the clauses on the subj-ct were struck out in the Lards. His own opinion wa., that all the ecclesiastical courts should have been dealt with together. There was a proviso in the act for the future union of the Probate and Admiralty Courts under one judge. The vote was then agreed to. 157,0501. for salaries — and expenses of county courts. Lord DUNCAN said there was a reduction in the total of this vote from last year, but there was an item to which he wished to call the attention of the house, that of the expense of providing court houses, which was 55,0001., an increase of 10,0001. on last year. By the original act the treasurers wera obliged to provide court houses, but in the last act a clause was inserted throw ing the expense on the country at large. A. deputation had lately waited on the Earl of Derby with regard to the cou❑ty courts in Scotland, and his lordship ex pressed an opinion that all such courts should be pro. vided by the distrisits. It was most unfair to call on the people of Scotland to provide county courts unless the game principle was extended to the sheriff.' courts. He begged to move that the vote be reduced by the sum of 85,0001. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said that if the system of the county courts was to be maintained in efficiency to the extent the public required, it was absolutely neces sary that court houses should be provided. There was a considerable decrease this year in the vote; the ex penses of the registry amounted to 272,0001., the fees produced 216,0001. ; leaving 56,0001. to be provided for by the vote. In addition to the vote there was a sum of 87,0001. charged on the Consolidated Fund. With regard to Scotland, the question was not then before them, If the noble lord thought the system ought to be extended to that country, he ought to introduce a bill on the subject. Sir G. C. LEWIS hoped his noble friend would not prees his amendment ; tho vote for the registry was only 45,0001., although the hon. gentleman stated the diffe rence was 56,0001. Mr. MACARTNEY remarked that in Ireland the courts were provided at the expense of the county. Mr. WILSON said that by the original act the ex pense of providing court houses was charged on thefees. Before he left office his attention had been called to some officers connected tsith these courts ; the high bailiffs were ltrgely paid, but had very little to do ; one judge appointed his brother-in-law, a medical practi tioner some miles off. Mr. SALISBURY had before called attention to this subject. The high bailiffs were not required at all, and he hoped Government would take steps to do away with them. Mr. HAMILTON said that the difference between the fees and expenses last year was 511,0001.; it was esti mated for next year at 45,0001. With regard to the bailiffs, he was pursuing the inquiry into the subj and hoped to be able to make some reduction. Atter some further discussiou, the vote was agreed to. On the vote for 25,428/. for the expenses of the police courts of the metropolis, Lord DUNCAN said on the last vote he was a , ked to produce a cams where criminal courts were provided for out of the consolidated fund, and here was one. Mr. HADFIELD moved that the vote be reduced by 5,0001. The CHAIRMAN asked that the bon. member should move in respect to some particular item. Mr. HADFIELD then moved that the first item of 7,430/. for clerks' salaries should be omitted. Mr. WILLIA MS complained that the estimate was not drawn in an intelligible manner. Mr. G. A. HAMILTON said it should be more ex plicit next year. Tne amendment wal negatived without a division. Mr. D. NICOLL asked for explanation as to an item of 2,0001. for rent of pretni-es, for 17,9001. had been ex pended this year in building new police offices. Mr. HARDY explained that there were a great num ber of hou , es rented. Mr. A.YRION said that the police of London was on an entirely different footing from that of the country. It was under Government control, and the inhabitants of the metropolis had no right to interfere. The inhabi tan' s of the metropolis paid large sums of money for the police, police-courts, and prisons; and the force was not metropolitan, but national to a great extent. Mr. COX quite concurred that it was desirable that there should be no application to the consolidated fund fur the police of the metropolis; but then their police force should be on the same footing as that of the country. Three-fourths of the expense of the police of the by the Government to enable them to use the police metro polls was maintained by rates, and the other fourth was paid —to use them as foreign spies, to attend at places where discussion societies were held, and to obtain evidence aga inst Dr. Bernard, or against some publisher. That was the reason why one-fourth part of the charge was plan :d on the consolidated fund. Mr. HADFIELD said the country had to pay to wards other things for London. There were parks, Westminster - bridge , and a park for Finsbury. e paid for it ourselves. LD—Yea; but 50,000/, had b een as k ed Mr. WILLIAMS said the inhabitants of the metropo forMilrrH: liC e °ll : D ou —f ld oppose the whole grant. IWE metropo lis paid as much as 400,000/. a year for the police force, and had nothing to do with the management of it. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of 128,607 /. for the police force, Mr. GRIFFITH wished to make some observatio n as to the impediments of the public streets. (A. laugh.) Many of the streets were infested by prostitutes. In King-street, St. James's, you could not pass without be ing impeded by these unfortunate women ; and he wished to know what was the duty of the metropolitan police in this respect. Mr. C. GILPIN did not know how it was, but per haps hon. gentlemen bad more personal attractions than he bad—(laughter)—and that might account - for his not being insulted when going home from the house. He wished to ask the S cretary for the Home Department if he could give any explanation as to the very large in crease in the amount to be v.itel in payment of salaries. There was an increase of about 25,0001. He wished to know whether there was any sum paid for the expense of foreign police. The increasevsvas from 103,6451. to 128 6071. Hr. WALPOLE said that a large additional sum was raised last year for the improveuient of vat ions new dis tricts, but he was not prepared with any more detailed explanation of the increase. Islr. MASSEY confirmed this statement, adding that the rapid increase of London and the F pri nging up of new neighbourhoods must frequently cause increased demands under this bead. Mr. D. NICOLL ail that the increased txpense of the p , lice might, to some extent, be accounted for by the variety of duties they had to perform. They were often employed in attending private parties and public compa nies, and recently it came under his notice as a magis trate that the police bad been constantly employed in protecting one of the worst of the recently suppressed dens of Many in the metropolis. Besides the increase Aprotection an o bse r wasv t i from o r eqer in the exp ense , thi s practice was attended with anoth er evil, viz., the a b sence o f the police from the streets when ired. their f te a or most m Mr. ALPOLE, Mr. AYRTON complained of the h as t e w ith w hi c h much of the police legislation was carried through the house. Mr. D. G RIFFIT El again complained of the obstruc tion to be met in the public thoroughfares at night in consequence of the prevalence of what was popularly known as the social evil. Mr. WALPOLE said that power was given to the police to preserve order in the public streets, and so far as possible order would be preserved. But he appre hended that to go further than pr3serving order and de cency in the streets would be a stretch of arbitrary power which would be highly oljeetionable, and one to which be could not give his sanction. After an observatien from Sir J. TRELAWNEY, Mr. WILSON entered into some explanations respect ing the causes cf increase, which he said were mainly two —viz,, the creation of new districts, and the demands of the superannuation fund, which, previous to the present grata, was n e a r ly b an k r upt. Th ree -fourths of the vote was paid I , y the lis, e metrep ' • and only one-fourth by the consolidated fund. - - , - Mr. HADFIELD cotnplained that the country should be taxed for the metropolis, and divided against the vote. For the vote For the amendment The vote was consequently agreed to. 3,4951. for this Queen's Prison, Scotland, was also awieed to. o.i the vote of 3,3421. for the Lord-Advocate and Soli citor-General of Scotland, Mr. MenAHON complained that the cost of admi ciAtring justice in Scotland v;ils ono:* higher than in England, and drew attention to several defects, as he conßidered them, in the Scotch law. Mr. EWART eapressed a IfeVa - that the attention of the Government would _he directed to the appointment a.public prt - r , acutor for England; siinilar to the procu- rator-fiscal in Scotland. Mr. MILES hoped the Government would, daring the recess, take the recommendation of the committee which sat some time ago on this subject into considera tion, with a view to the carrying it into effect. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL explained that his at tention had been so much engaged on other subjects of law reform that he had not yet bad an opportunity of turning his attention to this particular branch of the sub ject. The question of appointing a Minister of Justice was under consideration, and he hoped soon to submit several bills for the purpcse of consolii:ating the statutes, and to move for a committee for considering that and other matters of a similar nature; and he hoped to be able to take into consideration during the recess that particular subject to which his hon. friend (Mr, Miles) had now directed his attention, viz , the ricotnmenda tion of the committee in refertece, to the propriety of ap pointing a public prosecutor for England. Mr. M‘MAIION contended that criminal justice was -better transacted in England than it was either in Scot ltnd or Ireland, and instanced as proof that the directors of the Royal British Bank bad been brought to punish ment, whereas the directors of the Western Bank of Scotland, with all the appliances of procurators-fiscal and public prosecutors that (xisted in Scotland, had not yet been put upon their trial. The vote was agreed to. 5,570/. was voted for the expense of penal prosecu tions in Scotland. 18,577/. for expenses of Court of Session, Scotland, 25,0001. for the charge of procurators-fiscal, and some other votes connected with the administration of the law in Scotland, were then passed. On the vote of 15,1181. f•or the Registry House in Scotlsnd, Mr. COWAN said there a as an item of 1,0001. for the s3la-y of the Registrar of Seising. He wished to know whether this was not a sinecure office, and whether a Treasury minute was not made two or three years ago, that wnen a vacancy occurred it should be abolished. Rs wished also to aek whether the late Government did not, when in a moribund state, appoint a gentleman to this lucrative office. Mr. WILSON said his hon. friend was quite right in stating that about two or three years ago the Treasury did cal the attention of the Home Depaitment to the facithat thiA office was a sinecure. The salary at that time was 1,5001. It was then proposed that the office should be abolished, but the Lord Advocate proposed that the duties should be amalgamated with those of some other cffice. The appointment was then made, but the salary was reduced to 1,0001. The LORD ADVOCATE said there had been no amalgamation of duties. At the same time he was bound t.) say that he considered the office absolutely essential, and therefore he entirely approved of what was done in the way of filling up this office, There was a desire that the different local registries should be centralised in one place at Ed nburgh. There was no doubt the effect of that would be to diminish considerably the expense of the whole establishment, and he had been engaged in drawing up a bill to effect that object. Mr. COWAN said he felt so strongly on this subject that he would move the vote be reduced by 1,0001. Sir G. C. LEVV IS observed that the Lord Advocate had explained that the office was necessary, and that the per son who was appointed discharged the duties effectively. Mr. DUNLOP supported the amendment. Mr. C. BRUCE bore testim my to the ability with which the Registrar of Seisins fulfilled his duties. Mr. DUNDAS remarked that the office was given to a great supporter of the late Minister, and he thought that giving it to him under the circumstances was in come measure a job. Atter a little more conversation, the CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which he declared to have been carried. lie was then proceeding rapidly to put the whole vote, when Mr. JACKSON interposed, and entreated the hon. gentleman not to go quite at the rate of GO miles au hour. (Loud cries of • Hear, hear.") Mr. WILSON then resumed the discussion, remark ing that the functionary whose salary had been stopped, wa-4 the only per , on responsible for tt!c accuracy of the work performed by his clerks. Some ycar,;a4o the per son who held the office had actua ly had to make goo i a loss of between 3,.001. and 4,0001., which had been oc casioned by an error. Mr. MILES observed that the oaly question was whether two years ago this office had been declared to be a sinecure. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILSON said it was true that a recommenda tion had been made two years ago that on the nest va cancy occurring it should not be filled up—(hear, hear) --but a correspondence on the subject had afterwards taken place between the Lard Advocate and the Home• office, and it had been determined to contiaue the office iu tne modified shapA. The LORD ADVOCATE said that the Receiver, if his ,alary was stopped, cont.! not of course be expected to perform the duties of the office, and no assistant would be responsible. (Hear.) It was here objected by several members on the Mi ❑isterial side of the house that they had challenged the chairman's decision, and that there ought to have been a division. The CEIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sug gested that as there seemed to have been some mistake abut putting the question, the vote had better be with drawn, in order that it might be reconsidered. (Hear, near, and "No, no.") Mr. KINNAIRD said be had never in his life heard a questi.m put more distinctly. (Hear, hear ) Mr. BAXTER, recurring to the question of the vote itself, submitted that though the committee had de prived the Receiver of his ka!ary, his responsibility had sill remained. Sir G. C. LEWIS thought that as the only reason why the Chairman's decision had not been challenged in time was an inadvertence, it would be unusual and discour teous not to allow the vote to be withdrawn. (" No, no.") Tae CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he was a perfectly impartial witness in this matter, for he had not at the moment been attending to what was going on. Afterwards, finding that there was some little confusion, he had asked the reason of his friends around him. He still thought that the with drawal of the motion would be the best coarse. Mr. HORSMAN said the ounissionOr gentlemen opposite to challenge the Chairman's decision had not risen from any inadvertence. It had arisen from inde cision. (Hear.) The ge4leinaa opposite did not make up their winds what course to pursue till it was too late. (Cheers.) Lord J. MANNERS denied the aeon! au of the right hon. gentleman's impression. He had himself said " No." Mr. HORSMAN—The noble lord, no doubt, said "No" when the question was first put ; but he believed he had done so alter the chairman said "The Ayes have it." Lord J. MANNERS--That was not the fact. I raid "No" on both occasions. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HAMILTON admitted that the fault was his. It was his duty to have challenged the vote; and he sup posed he said "Neat the wrong moment. (Hear.) Mr. WALPOLE declared that nothing could be further from his intention than to impugn the conduct of the chairman, than whom he had never seen a gentle man conduct himself in the chair with greater fairness and propriety. (Hear ' hear.) At the same time he would remind th e hoese tbat the Government had no interest in resisting his decision in the present instance, except what arose from their wish to carry out the assurance given by the late administration. Lord PA LMERS roNsu gg este4 that if the diminished vote should be agread to, on bringing up the report it would be competent to the Government to move that it be recommitted. Tue CIIAIRHAN said that course would be quite consistent with the rules of the house. Toe vote for 14,1181. 10s. 7d. was then agreed to, as were also tt.e following , votes :- 1,1241. for the Commissary Clark of Edinburgh. 1,6751. for the Accountant in Bankruptcy in Scotland. 26,622/. kr criminal prosecutions and other law charzes in Ireland. 3,7261. for the Court of Chancery, Irelard. 2,599/. for the Court of Queen's thud), Ireland. 3,4801. for the Court of Common Pleas, Ireland. 3,9711. for the Court of Exchequer, Ireland. 2001. for taxing-officers and their clerks, Ireland-. 5,8491. for salaries of registrars to the judges, Ireland. 1,9501. for the consolidated offices of Writs, Four Courts, 2,348/. for the office of Registrar of Judgments, 9,5461. for the Court of Bankruptcy and Insolvency, Ireland. 8,8721. for the Court of Probate. Ireland. 8301. for the Dublin Revi,ing► Barrister. 2671. for the Clerk of the Court of Errors, Ireland. 1,6001. for the Police Justices, Dublin. 24.5001. for the Dublin Metropliran 384,0001. for the Constabulary of Ireland. 17,7001. for the inspection and superintendence of prisons. 140,0231. for the maintenance of prisoners in county gaols, reformatory institutions, and lunatic asylums. 24,7151. for exprisas connected with the transporta tion of convicts. 225,9681. for the expense of the come': establishment in the colonies. The house then resumed, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA BILL. The order for the second reading of this bill was post poned till Thursday the 17th inst. JOINT•STOCK BANKING COMPANIES BILL, Mr. HEADLAM moved that the house should go into committee on this Lill. After a conversation, several members oljeeting to proceed with the hill at that hour, Mr. BUCHANAN moved the syljournment of the debate, and the house divided For the adjournment 77 Against it Mr. WILSON rose to move an instruction to the committee. Mr. WALPOLE objected that this could not now be d'ne, a division having taken place ou the question of going into committee, Tito SPEAKER hell that Mr. Wilson was in order. Mr. WILSON moved that it be an instruction to the conmittee to extend the provisions of the bill to insur ance companies. Mr. CO I N opposed the motion. He said that Liva years ago the hon. gentleman wag of a very different opinion, and he expressed that opinion as chairman of a committee which sat to inquire into the subject of ir.- snrance companies. Mr. LYGON rose to order, asking the Speaker whether the house was not precluded from entertaining this motion. The SPEAKER said that the rule applied to the most , convenient mode of conducting the business of the house in this respect, which was thought to be by making a motion of thii kind on the motion for leaving .the _oJmir, but them was ❑othing to prevent the course nr)?? takea from being pursued. Mr. COWAN renewed his observationi against the motion, stating that he had hoped the hon. gentleman would have introduced a bill founded on the report of the committee in question for the purpose of amending the existing state of things with reference to insurance companies. He moved that the motion be rejected. Mr. HEADLAM said that insurance companies could now obtain limited liability by means of their policies, but 'he did not object to the extension of the bill to those companies. Mr. BUCHANAN objected to going on with what he believed would be a very long discussion. Mr: WARREN moved the adjournment of the debate. Sir. W. HE4VIRCOTE thought the form of the in. structio❑ was not in conformity with the rules of the house ; it ought to be tlt the committee have " power" to extend the provisions of this bill, and the proper time for discassing it would be iu the committee itself, and there need be no lengthened debate on it now. Mr. REA.DLA.NI proposed that they should pass the . instructio❑ as giving power to the committee, and he could not then ask to go any further to-night. Mr. HENLEY said there was some difficulty in' the f. , rot of the motioc. It was put as an amendment on the motion for going into committee, and if it was car iied, the motion for going into committee could not be put, Mr. BOUVERIE said the form of putting the in struction was not usual or convenient, for any one voting for it would vote against going into committee. He suggested its withdrawal. Mr. WILSON had n , ) objection to withdraw the mo tion, on the understanding that no further steps were taken. Too motion for the instruction was then withdrawn, and the debate adjourned to this day. OXFORD AND CAMBRID.3rE UNIVERSITIES, &c., ESTATES BILL. This bill, as amended, was considered and ordered to be read a third time this day. HAINAULT FOREST (ALLOTMENT OF COM MONS) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Mr. CAIRD proposed that the remuneration of the surveyor should not exceed 2001. About 6,0001. had been already expended in the survey, and as 2001. was considered sufficient remnneration for the commissioner, he thought it ought to ba sufficient for the surveyor. (Heer, hear.) Mr. G. A. HAMILTON opposed the amendment. The house was cleared for a division, but none took place, the amendment having been accopted by th• government _ The clause then passed as amended. The other clauses were agreed to. ECCLESIASTICAL CORPORATIONS LEASING BILL. Tl.is bill was read a third time. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION BILL. Mr. L. KING moved the third reading of this bill - Mr. BENTINCK said that it was not his intention to give any further opposition to the bill. (Cheers.) He retained his opinion with regard to it, and only regretted that by one of those accidents which were sometimes so Common, they had not the benefit of the noble viscount (Palmerston). who left his seat about two minutes ego. (Laughter.) Mr. DRUMMOND repeated his objection to the bill, which involved a very important principle, but unfor tunately questions of principle were not paid much attention to in that house. The noble lord the member for the City of Landon referred to the act of Queen Anne, but that act bad no more to do with this question than the man in the moon. This was one of the five points of the charter, which was carried with the sanc- tion of Et Conservative Government. (Hear, hear.) He hoped they would hear no more of the great Conserva tive principle of the constitution. (Cheers.) Tue bill was read a third time and passed. THE FUNDED DEBT. On the motion of the CH&NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, 13ave Wai given to bring in a bill to repeal certain pro visions for the issue out of the consolidated fund of fixed amounts for the reduction of the funded debt. The bill was subsequently read a first time. FOREIGN•OFFICE RECONSTRUCTION. On the motion of Mr. HOPE the following member" were nomioatei as the committee on this subject :—Mr. Hope, Lord John Manners, Sir Benjamin Rail, Mr., Hamilton, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Akroyd, Mr. Buxton, Lold Robert Cecil, Lord Elcbo, Mr. Seymour Fi'zgerald, Mr. Lygon, Sir John Shelley, Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Stirling and Mr. Tite. Power to send for persons, papers, and records : five to be the quorum. The house adjourned at a quarter past one. APPOINTMENT 01" MR. TULIN. Mr. WISE asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Mr. Tulin, recently vice-consul at Oran, had been appointed consul at Mobile ! whether it be true that a certificate of naturalisation bad been refused to that gentleman 1 and under what peculiar cir cumstances, and upon what grounds, a foreigner bad been appointed to an American consulate ? Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he had to inform the house that Dlr. Tulip, recently at Oran, had been ap pointed vice-consul at Mobile. It was true that the eutifioat;.-. of naturalisation had been refused to that gen. tlerean, because, in order to come under the act for the naturalisation of foreigners, it was necessary that the pLrsons applying should have been some time resident ire this couatry. In reference to the last part cf the ques tion he had to state, in the first instacco, that there was nothing in the !aw to prevent the appointment of a foreigner to any British consulate. In this particular instance Mr. Tulin had been appointed solely on account of his public services. His father was fur 30 years in the British service. He was well known as having per formed most efficient services to the British Govern ment, and more particularly as having distinguished himself by his Exertions to obtain the relief of the cap tives detained at Tunis. No one was more deserving of public respect. The present Mr. Tulin had been brought up here ; he had been solely educated in England ; he had been for many years employed in the service of this country ; and it was only because that service had re quired him to reside abroad that he had not been able to make himself by residence what he was in every other respect, an Englishman. THE INDIAN LEGISLATIO2er. Mr. AYRTON gave notice that on Monday nest he should call the attention of the noble lord at the head of the Board of Control, who would then probably be iu the house, to the bills that had been brought before the house for amending the government of India, and he trusted that the noble lord would then give a distinct explanation of the course which it was the object of the Government to pursue. SUPPLY.— CO M MITTEE. The house then went into committee of supply. The fir,t vote 7;al 46,3711., for solicitor, treasury, aed law charges, in eluding MIA yr :secution?, Mr. W. ‘VILLIAMS asked for some explanation in raretice to the Briti h Bank prosecution. Mr. HAMILTON said that the expense of 10,000/. had been taken hypothetically, the bills of oost not hav ing been sent The vote was then agreed to. 150 ; 000l. for prosecutions at assizas and quarter ses sionp. Mr. WILSON said this was a reduction of 100,0001. on the vote for la-t year, and he was glad that so large an economy had been effec'ei. He wished to know whe ther the soul now asked for was to cover the whole ex• penditure of the year ? Mr. HAMILTON said that in all probability it would not leaver the year's expanses. Sir G. C. LEWIS hoped that the practice of taking votes by guess would not be persisted in. Mr. WILSON said that it had been the practice of the late Government, and all former Governments, to estimate the amount required under each head for the year, and take a vote for that sum. The present Govern ment bad professed to save 4 00,000/. on the civil con tingencie4, but he knew they wolvd not be able to do anything of the kind. They were asking for 150,0001. undo.. this head, whereas the expenditure would be 200,0001. at least. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished for more precise in formation as to the balance in hand and the estimate for the year. Aft, r a few words from Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr, HAMILTON said that the balance is the exche quer which was more than 50,0001., would suffice, with the 150,0001. now asked for, to cover the expenditure of the year. Mr, WILSON . insisted that,on this system of carrying over a balance from one year to another, no comparison c uld be made between years. This could not occur with regard to the army and navy, for the surplus of one year oould not by law be applied to another. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that measores were in course of preparation, founded on the report of the committee on public) monies, which would render it impossible for the estitna'es in future to be prepared i❑ this manner, which he agreed was objec tionable. Toe estimates for the civil service would then be placed on the same footing as those for the army and navy. After an uninteresting conversation, . Sir G. C. LEWIS said that the statement in the first page of the estimate, showing a decrease on the vote co., pared with last year, was inaccurate. He would suggest that when the report was brought up, a state ment of the actual balance in hand under each head should be la•d before the house, Mr, HA ILTON promised that something of thi kind should t e done. Mr. PULLER, referred to the fact that the expenses of apprehension of prisoners were now di s allowed, and fell on the prosecutors. This was a very mischievous state of thin : p , , ant he hope that a remedy would be applied. Mr. WALFOLE said that the matter, with others, was under the consid era ti on o f a comm i ss ion now sitting, which wcul ! pr)bably rep o rt i n th e c .mrse of the winter. T.ll then they had b s tt tr sus p en d t h e i r j u dgment. Mr. WILSON e x pr esse d hi s rea di nes s to do so. Aftera few word s f rom Sir J. P AKINGTON and Sir G. Grey on an irmilelital matter, Mr. lIANIILTON said that the object of the Treasur y was t) confine th e allowacos as nearly as poss ible to the costs c f the prosecution. The vote was then agreed to. 214,2001. police, counties a n d b oro u g hs (Great Britain), o f A t the ultimate r. B(- rB e L X ; . e s o k s 3 e d on the country? He feared that it would be very serious. - Sir G. GREY said the cause of the increase was that the vote fir the present year was fur the whole year, w ii h a i r ct e tti m s saytlbeinad wbeoeunldfernmtaeidl whirreas last year it was for a portion of the year only. This was not a gradually increasing vote, because when the police of any county or borough bad _reached a cer tain point of efficiency there would be no further increase. The vote was then agreed to, The f Alowin.; votes were agreed to 200/. for the Uiancery Crown-office expenses. 0 1, 11 50 t 0 b / e . f- v , o r te th o e f Q l4 ins 4 e l n 9 a l.
