MONEY MARKET D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. During the last few days there bas been very l ittle activity in the markets for foreign and colo nial produce, and prices have exhibited no material Variation. Tea has been steady, and the answer by the last China mail has bad little effect upon the market. Sugar has been inactive, only the filler qualities finding buyers at abcut late rates. For coffee there has been a moderate inquiry, and good qualities of plantation Ceylon have main tained former values. Rice, rum, and spices have been dealt in to a moderate extent, but have exhi bited little change in value. For saltpetre there st ill continues a good demand, and full rates are current. Tallow is stationary, P.Y.C. on the Vet is quoted 535., July delivery, 51s. to 51s. 3d., And last 3 months, 50s. 9d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market closed heavily, arid prices remained without any material altera tion. The sales were estimated:at 5,000 bales, 600 of which were taken on speculation. The Railway Share Market had an improving tendency, and quotations were fully maintained. The general demand for money, which has of late been go much restricted, is now becoming rather active. Whether the change is attributable to temporary causes, such as are usually experienced towards the end of the quarter, or to an extension of trade, it is difficult to determine ; but, as far as c an be judged, both these influences are producing increase of business in Lombard-street. The con sequence, as may be supposed, is that higher terms are required for the negotiation of commercial b ills, and few transactions now take place under 2 4 per cent. Yesterday, the rates varied from t hat point up to 3 per cent., and several a pplications were made at the Bank for a ccommodation. The ^ inquiry for some Y days Past has been steadily increasing, and if the move ment should continue, the margin between the quotations out-of•doors and the official minimum 17 i11 be gradually reduced, although the large amount of money that will be liberated through the payment of the:half-yearly dividend will, no doubt, reproduce at least temporarily renewed easiness and abundance. It is expected that a large proportion of the specie received yesterday will be taken to the Continent. The market for English Securities opened firmly, but there has since been a trifling decline in conse quence of a few sales. Scarcely any business ha beezi done, however, except in connexion with the .._' l( luidation of the half-monthly accoun t i n th e Foreign and Share Markets. Consols have been 9 6 to 96k, and are now 95k to 96. The New 3 per eras. and the Reduced are 96 to 96g.

In the Railway Share Market the arrangements for the settlement of the half-monthly account are b ow in progress ; a very limited amount of busi llee.s has been done, and prices have varied to the e xtent of about to per cent. Eastern Counties declined ss. ; North-Western, 10s. ; and Great Western, 1/. Great Northern improved ss. ; :krth-Eastern (York), 10s. ; and North British and North-Eastern (Berwick), 15s. The foreign a nd colonial lines have been very quiet. Pernam ,„loo declined about ss. ; East Indian improved 54 ; and Great Western of Canada, ss. For Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous shares th ere was a very limited inquiry, and little varia tion can be noticed in prices. //411811 FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY. 13 ( From the °fetal List;) ailk Stock 221 M IzePer Cent.

GRIM ENAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD 00IIRT. (Before the Recorder.) William . isawes, a respectable-looking young man, aged 132, described as a chemist, pleaded guilty to a charge of fraudulently obtaining 24 canvas bags, , value 10s. There were several other charges agai n st the prisoner for a similar offence. Mr. Bod!Lin, on the part of the Crown, elected to receive tote prisoner's confession on the ;first charge, ant I having explained the system under which the i✓ risoner obtained the bags, The Rec order sentenced the prisoner to► six months' imr irisonruent with hard labour. Charles R andall, aged 40, a letter-sorter in the General Post Office, pleaded guilty to a chargo of stealing a let ter containing a gold watch. Tb ere was also anotl ►er charge of stealing a letter con taining money. Mr. Bodkii., who appeared with Mr. Clarke for the Postmarst4 3r-Ganeral, explained that the :pri soner, it hai 'been found, had carried on a rxiost extensive sys tem of stealing letters containing Bank notes an d other monies to a large extent, but in some instax Ices it was recovered. _ . The Recoreer asked how long the system had been carried of Mr. Bodkin.- —From November last up to thei 6th of June, when he was arrested. The Records r sentenced the prisoner to six y!ars penal servitude. Ann Stephel Is, aged 31, a married woman, was indicted for fhloniously uttering a forged Post office order for • the sum of 10s., well knowing the same to be forged. The prisoner, a respectable looking woma r , , pleaded not guilty. It appeared that a Post-office order for 10s. was sent by a person named Sansom from Aldershot Can gyp , payable at the Camden-town office, to his wife, and directed for her at home, where the priso nor lived, who was aware that the letter was explt:ted. She, on its being delivered, took possession of it ; and went, accompanied with another woman, to the Post-office with it unsigned ; and on its being represented by the clerk that it must be signed, by Mrs. Sansom, the prisoner went away and soon after returned with it signed, when the clerk at the' counter at the time paid the pri soner the mom ay. Soon after Mrs. Sansom called with the letter p when it was discovered that her signature to thf a order was a forgery, and the pri soner was giver a into custody. The evidence was clear as to the prisoner's guilt —she persisted ;in saying she hadonly accompanied another woman. to the Post-office, and did not re ceieve the monfl y. _ The jury fou,::d the prisoner guilty. The Recorde c said it was a v er y ser i ous o ff ence , and sentenced t;1 me prisoner to 12 months' imprison ment with hard. laborer. POLICE IN 1 9P LLTGENCE.—(This Day. , MA - R LBOROUGH-STREET. SICITTLE-SHARPI NG. —A. LIICICY ESCAPE.—William Webb, John Will jams, George Smith, William Smith, Henry White, arm l Thomas Welsh, well , known skittle sharpers, were cb4 rged with conspiring together to de fraud Thomas Skil drake, of 13, Charlotte -street, Pimlico, of the sum of 10/. .Bs. The prosecutor,, who gave his evidence in a very con fused manner, saiti I be had only returned from Australia a few a eeks, anct:that on the previous afternoon he was going along the St rand, when he was accosted by Geo. Smith, who asked the way to Trafalgar -square, to which place he directed him. They then got into conversation, the prisoner tellir ; him he had just come from Oxford, and that he had z u rt been in London since the Exhibi- tion. Directly el :er, the prisoner Webb came up and spoke to Smith, as id soon after made a bet with Smith that he would throw a 14lb. weight 30 yards. They then went to a pub lic.houso near Hyde-park, and asked him (prosecutor) I o go with them. When they got there instead of tla rowing a weight they began playing at sktitles and betting, as he was induced by some of them to bet, and J ost his money. When Webb began playing, he threw- the ball over the mark, but altered his playing when I, , ets were made. The rest of the prosecutor's evidence was so confused that Mr. Bingham, suggested to Mr. Lewis, senior, who appeared for the ;prisoners, that the money found on them, which they cannot deny was the prosecutor's, should be handed c ver to him. A constable her o stepped forward and said he had seen all the prison' re together previous, and knew them to be companions. One of them previous to joining the others changed his hat, and another one assumed spectacles. After some con: venation between the prisoners and their advocate, awl a hint from Mr. Bingham, that if they did not adopt his recommendation he shoul d remand them, the prieonws handed over the money and were dischargel. a - the strength of the force. But how did the recruiting go on in the regular army, to which, in time of war, we could alone trust ? There was an instructive ar turn on the subject on the table of their lordships' house, from which he found that when we went to war with Russia the army was below the establishment voted by 28,800 men, including the Artillery, Sappers and Miner', and colonial corps, and that the whole force we had available was only 151,000 men. During the whole war the force was never brought up to anything like that voted by Parliament. Iu 1855 the ordinary deficiency was 45,000, and at one time it was 55 ; 000 below the number voted, and in 1856, at the termination of the war, it was still 44,800 short of the proper number— the total force of the army being 183,300. So that during the war, with all the stimulus which was put on recruit ing, allowing for the wear and tear of the war, we only increased our army by 37,000, and the total force, in eluding colonial corps, was only 188,300. Could any one tell him why, looking at the great armed force that we maintained during the Spanish war, and considering the great increase in our population, in the two years of the last war we were only able to add to our army the contemptible number of 37,000 ? This was mainly owing to the militia, which was kept up at 65,000 men. These fac a required consideration, and if the proposed commission was appointed he bored that its inquiries would not be confined to the organisation of the perma nent staff of the militia, but would be extended to the consideration of arrangements now in force for keeping up the militia, and for aiding to the army in time of war. He believed that if proper arrangements were made we might keep the regular army at all times at its proper number, and in time of war readily increase it to meet an emergency ; while if you put the militia back to that which it was intended to be, and what it ought to be, a strictly local force, not embodied even in time of war, composed of those classes who could not afford permanently to learn their homes, but who would be willing to come out in the defence of their country, and officered in the same manner, you would obtain a large augmentation of the army during war. What he wished to say was, that the question of the militia could not be considered apart from the mode of recruiting of the re gular army, and be thought that the attention of the Government ought to be turned to the question of how you were to provide a competent reserve force on which you could ray in case of war. Ttae Marquis of CLANRICARDE hoped the com mission would inquire into the state of the law as effect ing the militia iu Ireland, where the law differed from that of England. He also hoped that sufficient barrack accommodation would be provided, eTecially, in the deuth of Ireland. This was most important, in the event of any sudden outbreak of hostilities. (Hear.) Thi re, was money laid out to a very considerable extent in order to erect new barracks, because the old barracks had been condemned by every inspector-general for the last 20 years. (Laughter.) Whenever they might have the mis fortune to be concerned in any serious European war, it would be necessary to have a large militia force in the south and west of Ireland. Ito merely threw out those suggestions, and be hoped they would bo deemed de serving of the c ons id era ti on o f the conerni,-sion, The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that after all that their lordships had heard that evening, he thought it was evident that the best thing to be done was to have a commission of inquiry. Varioes questions had been proposed to the house, and several valuable suggestions made in the course of the discussion. He was, he be lieved, justified in saying that the inquiry proposed was to be a full and ample one ; and that being the case, and it being intended that the inquiry by the commksion should go to the arrangements and organisation of the militia, past and future, be did nut propose now to trou ble their lordships with any lengthened obeervations on the subject, especially as he had no doubt that if he was called on to do so he should be obliged to detain their lordships a considerable time whde he dealt with the various questions which had been raised. There were only one or two subjec s which ho thought it essential thathe should notice, The noble duke on the cross benches (Cleveland) very naturally thought that the militia regi ments were placed in an inconvenient position when they were called on to volunteer for the army. He (the Duke of Cambridge) could fully ant , r into the feelings of com manding officers of militia regiments on that sul4ect, and it was with the view of meeting their objections that the late Government gave orders that no officers of the line should be sent down to militia regiments until the men who bad volunteered were made over to the line. He believed that those directions were adhered to, and that at the last volunteering not so much inoonvenieace was ex perienced by the commanding officers of the militia as before. He did not quite concur with the noble duke that it was not desirable that the militia should furnish volunteers for the army. 'lle noble duke and the noble earl opposite asked what was the object of the He thought it might be made useful for both the objects to which it had been turned. By good regulation he believed that militia regiments might be kept complete for the purposes of the defence of the country, and yet afford valuable assistance in recruiting the ranks of the regular army. The noble duce had eaid that it was diffi cult to getnon-coatiatiss'oned officers from the linefer the militia. He was not aware to what period the noble duke alluded, but if he alluded to the time when the army was reduced and it was intended to transfer a certain number of non-commissioned officers of the line to the militia, it should be rem em b ere d th a t very s h ort l y afterwards there was a sudden call for troops to India, and the transfer of non-commissioned officers had been stopped, as it seas nece , sary to retain as many non-com missioned officers as possible for the ordinary duties of regiments, and there w ere scarcely oncugh for that pur pose and to perform the duties of barrack yards ; and no doubt the non commissioned officers of the line whom it was intended to transfer to the militia were not made over. With regard to billeting there ceuld be no two opinions that if it were possible to put the militia into barracks that would be the proper course ; but it could not be done unless barrack accommodation was largely increased, while it was to be doubted if the country would go to the expense, and even if the country was inclined to do so it would be years before they were completed. The emergency pressed, and the question was e hat was to be done with the militia when they were called out. Wherever there were barracks in Eng land, Scotland, or Ireland, they would be willingly con ceded by the military authorities, but there was a very small amount of barrack accommodation vacant and very .ttle could be afforded to the militia. Weh regard to the calling out of the militia and their embodiment, the noble duke had referred to the embodiment of that force in the hest war. But it should be remembered jtbat the militia was embodied because there were no regular troops left in the country, and hut for the militia the country would have been entirely denuded of troops. To a certain extent the same thing existed now ; there was a great demand for troops in India, end a large force was required for the colonies, and in order to make up the deficiency of force in this country, a certain pertion of the militia was embodied, and he ventured to think that that arrangement was the best the': soul I he made tinder the circumstances. He agreed with the noble earl oppo 6to that the question of recruiting the army and miltia ought to be considered by the cemmission ; but he was happy to say that so far as recruiting for the army went, nothing could be more satisfactory. (Hear,) Although this was a time when labour was in demand, Viere were daily received large accessions to the ranks of the army, and if their lordships would look to the returns of the recruiting, they would be astonished at the good feeling exhibited in all parts of the country in the coming for ward of men to join the army. (Hear, hear.) He would not go further into the question, as this was not the execs time, when a commission cf inquiry was about to be appointed, to enter into details, and he would only add, that he was rejoiced that her Majesty's Govern ment had determined on taking that step. Lord LYTTLETON said, with reference to what had been stated to bo one of the main functions of the militia, namely, the feeding of the army, he was of opinion that you called on colonels of militia to do what it was not in human nature to do ; for as fast as they made goad sol diers of their men they were urged to get rid of them, and renew a tact like that of Penelope 's web, which was ailvays beginning and never ending. His own regiment, the W orcestershire, which was a very good one, was recently embodied, and was disembodied again in a short time because it had not furnished its quota of men to the regular army. It was a fundamental mistake to regard the militia force from this point of view, and not to con sider it as a reserve force for the home service. With regard to the statement that men were not got for the army fast enough, the reason was to be found in the fact that the army were not paid enough, were not made comfortable enough, and had no sufficient prospect of a provision for their old age. Our system stood self-con• deenned by the existence of a bounty as a necessary adjunct to recruiting. Why should there be any neces sity for a bounty There ought to be a sufficient mili• tary spirit in the country to bring men into the army if there position there was made such as it ought to be. The proper system would be that the bounty which was now wasted should be given to the soldier at the end of his time of service instead of at the beginning. It was worth consideration whether there might not be a re serve established consisting of men who had paesed through the army, which would be more economical than the militia, but at the present moment he would not go into that question. What would be the condi tion of things if the whole of the militia were to be called out it is difficult to say, for it was known that men had enrolled themselves In several regiments at different times, and if the whole of the militia was called out there would be at least 40 per cent. of the men missing from the different regiments. Ho hoped the subject would be careful:y and fully considered, and that the Govern- ment would not be satisfied until an effective reserve force was established in this country. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that there were only two points among the various suggestions which had been thrown out in the course of the discussion ;but before noticing them he would press on the Under Secre tary for War the advisability of laying on the table the instructions to the commission as soon as they were issued. With reference to the subject of whether the militia was to be considered a reserve force or as a feeder to the regular army, be thought that no report of a n y commission was likely to prevent the recurrence by Government to that system on an emergency ; but it might perhaps guide them to knowledge of that which it was important to ascertain —namely, how the system had really operated, and whether it had added to the effective force of the army, or whether it was only an expenditure of an additional bounty, and in fact really interfered with the recruiting of the army. The noble earl (Grey) had referred to the origin of the system in the last war, and the illustrious duke (Cambridge) bad truly said that the embodiment of the militia during the war arose out of the necessity of sending a large num ber of regiments of the regular army ou active vervice) and which rendered the militia requisite for the purposes of garrison d u t y. But be (the Duke of Newcastle) thought that the system had been carried on too long and too far. He looked on it that at the beginning of the war the militia force was an effective means of speedily recruiting the army. In the beginning of that War it was a question of bounty, when it was necessary to get 30,000 to 40,000 men, but at that time recruits did not come in as fast as was required, and you bad to make soldiers of them after they were recruited, while the militia supplied trained men. This system, however, might be carried too far, and he believed it did nut result in getting men for the army as easily and speedily ae might be expected. Under our present system, in cas e of war you must hav e reg i men t s o f militia embodied to garrison the different porti and stations at borne, but he believed that was the extent to which the embodiment cf the militia should be carried, at least for a short time after the beginning of a war. It was, however, a mistake to maintain a militia force not for the purpose of defence at home, but the purpose of supplying the army with recruits. It was a system which was enormously expensive, and by no means efficient. He knee-, however, that some persons were of a different Opinion, and he was certain that :he proposed commission would only do a portion of its du'y if it did not inquire hvioTiwthfarergatrhdis tothe system of recruiting was t o b e carr i e d . question of barracks, the illus trious duke had said that if militia regiments were embodied it was necessary that they should go with billets, because there were at present no barracks to accommodate them, and it was possible to erect a suffi cient number of barracks f r the purpose. He (the Duke of Newcestl) was anxious to say a few words on the subject of barracks. Ho could state from experience, as a Secretary for War, that there was no regular sys tem with regard to barracks in existence. For years every succesive secretary for war and commander-in chief had gone on upon a band to mouth system. H e was desirous that some means should be adopted to re medy this, by eetabliahing some regular system for pro. viding barracks in every locality where they wore re quired. During the late war he Lad felt great anxiety on this subject ; but, at that time, such was the pressure upon every department connected with the administra it was impossible to deal with i,. Th at lion of the army, pressure no longer exited, and he hoped the attention of the government would be directed to the subject, with a view to the introduction of some settled and permanent system. He hoped their lordships would shortly have before them the instructions issued to the corumilsior, and then they would have the opportunity, if those in structions were not sufficiently extensive in their charac ter, cf pronouncince an opinion upon them. Viscount MELVILLE complained of the utter ina dequacy of the barrack accommodation in Scotland, and remarked that not one tenth of the money which had been spent upon the erection and improvement of bar racks in this country had been expended for similar par poece there. The conversation then dropped. CHANCERY AMENDMENT BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. RAJAH BROOKE, &c.

STEALING A CAME AND A LARK.—George Brooks, a young man, was lei-ought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously stealing, taking, and carrying away one cage and one hark, value 83., the property of Charles Hall, an oil and cralourman, of No. 15, Lady Lake's grove, Jubilee-stye,' .t, Stepney. Mr. Hall said /a o had a beautiful lark, which sang very melodiously, :in a cage, which was suspended to a nail in front of his :house, and a person to reach it must have got on the toy) of a shutter-box. He was aroused by a policeman at half-past 4 o'clock in the morning, and missed his bin 1 and cage. He saw footmarks on the dust on the top of the shutter-bcx. The bird was worth 6s, and the cage 23. John Thompson, a police constable, No. 396 K, stated that he was oa duty in Lady Lakes -grove, about 100 yards from the prosecutor's house, and saw the prisoner walking along with a lark in a cage. Directly the prisoner saw him he dropped the 'cage on the ground and ran away. He afterwards received the prisoner from another constable who stopped him, as he was running along the Mile End Road. The prisoner Paid he was gu ilty. Mr. Yardley—There is no dosbt of your guilt. You have done yourself no harm by that plea.

The Earl of WICKLOW said he took the oppor tunity of asking whether it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill for Ireland ! —and he was astonished at the answer of the Lord Chancellor, which was that they would not introduce a bill fore Ire land because of the expense with which it would be attended. He hoped the noble and learned lord on the woolsack would state whether it was the intention of the Government to assimilate the law between the two countries ; and, if not, that he would give a substantial reason for not doing so. He protested against this mode of legislating separately for the two countries. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was perfectly true that he did, when the question was put to him, say that the expense would be sufficient to justifythe government in not bringing forward such a measero, but the noble earl would do him the justice to recollect that some time afterwards a similar question was put to him by a noble and learned lord, and he answered that question by saying it was not intended to introduce such a measure, and he recol lected the Lord Chief Justice expressing his regret that they had no such intention. Now, in the first place, he did not think it desirable until the Divorce Court had been more tried, and they had more experience of its effects, to introduce a measure for Ireland. He was not answerable for what the late Lord Chancellor might have promised. If his noble and learned friend desired that it should be extended to Ireland he might bring in a bill now, but certainly he did not envy any one the task who undertook to introduce a bill on such a sub ject in reference to the sister country. He had no wish to bring in such a bill, nor any intention to do so. Ile believed there was no strong desire for it in that country, and, on the contrary, that there was an apprehension in some quarters that it would be extended to Ireland. At all events, he bad no intention to introduce a bid to extend the divorce courts to Ireland. Lord CRANWORTH said the question was put to him when he was Lord Chancellor, and he replied that he should not propose to extend the measure to Ireland, be cause he was perfectly aware that there were circumstan ces which might render a measure desirable for England which as as not desirable for Ireland, but he told the noble lord that he would bring in a bill to assimilate the law of the two countries, so far as the social state of the two countries rendered it possible or desirable. And un doubtedly he should have fulfilled that pledge had he remained in office, but when he ceased to boll office, it appeared to him that the introduction of a bill affecting the social state of the country was a matter that no man not connected with the government ought to be called upon to undertake. It was necessary to obtain infor mation, and a variety of details which it was impcssible for any one not connected with government to get. Therefore, although it had been his intention, in con currence with his colleagues, had he continued to hold the great seal, to fulfil that promise, when he left office he thought himself absolved. Having said that, he could only say that if in accordance with the suggestion of the noble lord they so altered the bill as to enable Irish sub jects to come to the court here, he should see no objec tion to it. The Earl of DONOL T GHMORE deprecated extend ing the measure to Ireland, and said he hoped that at all events their lordships would not agree to the propo ion of the Chairman of Committees. Lord CAMPBELL said it would be n3onstroas that Irishmen should come over as suitors to England. All her Majesty's Scotch subjects had a remedy by apply ing to the Court of Session, and her Majesty's English subjects had a remedy by presenting a petition to the Divorce Court. If the measure were extended to Ire land he thought it should be by another bill. After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, who said he was precluded when in committae from propos': ing any amendment, but that he could do so on the re• port, The house went into committee:and the several clauses were agreed to without any amendment being proposed to intend the measure to Ireland. The house then resumed. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH inquired whether any steps were in contemplation, or had been taken, to refer to a commission, or to a committee of either house of Parliament, the present establishment and organisation of the permanent staff of regiments of militia, with the view to reader the staff more effective, both when the regiments are disembodied and also when embodied or called out for training I Whether it was intended to call out for training this year all or any of the regiments of militia which have not been recently embodied ! If it was intended to do to, how were these regiments to be quartered—in barracks, billets, or other wise I He understood from an answer which bad been given in the other house, that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to issue a commission to consider in what wanner the per manent staff might be made more efficient. At the pre sent moment there was great difficulty in procuring effi cient officers. It might be said that they could be ob tained from the pensioners, but they would be of little use, because the system of drill had been most materially altered. The pay was so small, that non-commissioned officers who bad no pea-ion could not subsist without working at some trade, and the result was that they had no time to attend to the course of instruction and exer cise in the Minis rifle, and, therefore, when called upon they were not so efficient as they ought to be. Anoth'r obstacle to their acquiring a knowledge of the Minie rifle was, that the weapons served out to them were nothing but the old flint and steel muskets, ornamented wi•h percussion locks. The pay of the adjutant was perfectly inadequate to provide him with proper lodgings. He could not procure su c h l o d g i ngs f or 10s, a week, and in the regiment which he commanded the adjutant could not obtain convenient accommodation for less than (101. or 601. a year. Th en, w i th respect to his second ques tion, whether it was the intention of the government tai call out for trai n i ng thi s year any of the regiments of militia which have recently been embodied. If the militia was to be kept in a state of efficiency, the regiments must be periodically trained and kept together for a sufficient time to allow them to be properly instructed. If it was intended to call out these regiments it was most im• portant to consider how they were to be quartered. At the present moment there was not a single unoc upiod barrack in Scotland. In Berwick there was sufficient space for a regiment, but the barracks were in such a state that they were unfit for occupation. The billeting system bad been strongly objected to, and in pieces where there were only two or three inns, the hardship was undoubtedly very great. It might he said that in Edinburgh and Glasgow there was ample billeting room, but he knew nothing more objectionable than the billet ing of the militia in those places. He trusted the go vernment would turn their attention to the points he had mentioned, and use their utmost efforts to render the militia an efficient body. The Duke of CLEVELAND said it was most important to define what was the object of the militia. (Hear, hear.) It had been pointed out as a nucleus for furnishing troops for the regular army. He did not ' mean to say that in the event of a great increase of troops being required, it would not be necessary to take them from the militia, but to send down a number of sergeants to keep the men in a state of intoxication was destructive of all discipline. If the militia was to be use ful it must be kept in an efficient state; and he thought it would be better, instead of giving them 28 days' train ing every year, tv give them 56 days every alternate year. With respect to the adjutants, he did not think they had much difficulty in providing suitable lodgings at the rate of 261, or 301. a-year. (Hear, hear.) Lord HARDINGE said her Majesty's Government bad determined to constitute a commission, to which tho subject would be referred. The instructions had not yet been framed, but he believed the duties of the com mission would be to inquire into the establishment and organisation of the permanent militia staff, with the view of rendering it more efficient for military purposes, and ascertaining whether it might not be made useful in the way of recruiting for the line. The inspector of the militia had reported most favourably of the condition of the permanent staff generally, and it appeared that in September last they raised upwaris of 8,000 men cf the line. He believed the whole of the matters which bad been alluded to would come within the scope of the in quiry to be instituted by the commission. A portion of the militia would be called out in the autumn, but at present he was unable to give any precise information on that point. With respect to the billeting system, a committee was now sitting to inquire into that subject. There were a considerable number of small barracks unoccupied in Ireland, and one portion of the militia would occupy those barracks, and the other portion would be billeted. It was impossible to say exactly what amount of force could be placed in the barracks in England. With regard to Scotland, he was obliged to the noble duke for the suggestions which he had thrown out, and could assure him that they would be duly considered by the Government. Earl GREY agreed with the noble duke on the cross benches (the Duke of Cleveland) that the first point to determine was the object of the militia. ([fear, hear.) Was it to be an instrument for recruiting, or was it in tended to be an efficient reserve force ? Unless Govern- --- went made up their mind as to the accomplishment of one of these objects, they might fail in both. It had been said that the militia were not to be embodied in time of war except to guard against invasion. Now, perhaps there never was less danger of that than during the Rus• siau war, and yet a large militia force was embodied, di rectly competing with recruiting for the line. Th e per manently embodied m ditia force consisted of 65,000 men. The number of recruits given to the army and marines by the militia was only 33,000 during the war ; while there were obtained for the army by regular recruiting 80,000 men, although every recruit had a direct bonus of 1/. offered to him to take the militia as the road to the army. They had to consider whether such a system was an eco nomical one. The noble duke on the cross-benches bad told them that it was a common practice for men to enrol themselves in a regiment of militia which was not imme diately to be called out without the slightest intention of coming up when it was called out ; and besides this, it was the practice of men to enrol themselves in four or five regiments of militia one after the other, and there was no means of checking the practise, Up to 1856, when the militia had been a few years in operation, there were no le s s th an 39 , 500 men ou t of 193,500 struck off the strength of regiments for desertion—that is, one fifth of the whol e num b er . 11e was told *that, if the return was made up to the present time, the number would be found much greater, and that, you had paid bounf— 4 .q nearly 800,000 men INI:o tad been !struck off ART UNIONS. Mr. W. EWART gave notice that he should on Thursday move for leave to introduce a bill for legalieiog Art UtllOl..W. RELIGIOUS PROCESSION IN TUANI. Sir W. VERNER asked the Attorney-General for Iteland whether the government had received any cc count of a procesion in the streets of Team, which pro cession was composed of priests and others of the Church of Rome, in their ecclesiastical costume, and carrying the and whether tucli processton was crnformable to law I The ATTORNEY.GENER&L for IRELAND said such pr,ces , ions would not becorformable to law, but the application of the law depends on the existence of the fact. lie had eeeu a report describing what had taken place, but it did not state that any procession as that decribrd took place in the streets of Tuam. (Hear, hear.) He hoped there would not, and that the good sense of the persona reft.rred to would prevrnt them vichting the law. INDIA RESOLUTIONS. The house thou went into comnritteel on the India re solutions, commencing with the sth resolution, as f, lows—" That with a view to the efficiency and indepen• deuce of the council, it is expedient that it should be partly nominated and partly elected. Lord STANLEY said it became his duty to propose, for the consideration. of the committee, the re.wl , ition just read. The house had already decided, without a division, that the Minister for India should hare the assistance of a council. The house undoubtedly intended that that council should b 3 real and not merely nominal --an assistance, and nor a scroan and a pretence. If be council was to be a reality, it must possess subetan fal independence. (Hear, hear.) Not only so, but it must be known to have that quality. It was a question how far it would be poesible for a council formed on the principle Of nomination, as proposed by Lord Palmere. ton, to possess that character of independence. Trio principle of nomination [night be applied under three several modifications. The members of the council might be nominated for life, or during good be haviour—the inure common form—as proposed by Lord J. Hues. 11. They might be nominated f iv& long term of years, without the power of re-election, or for a compare lively short term, as proposed in Lord Palanoston's the Grevernment having the power of nominating them a second time. As to the first proposition—nomination for life—no doubt it did, to a great extent secure that ie. dependence which was desired. It placed the members oP nnincil, relative to the G )vernment who appointed them, and all eucciedien Government., very much in the position occupied by aju on the beech. The most forcible oljectien a as that in a council of 12 or 15, under a system f nomination for life, there would always be a certein proportion who, from mental or physical irfirtaity would be incapable of perfuming their duties in a satisfactory manner. (Hear.) It might be said that that did not neeeesaii y fuauw, and that the objection would apply equally to the case of the judges. But there wan a mate/ ial distinction betvveen theduties of ajudge and those of a member of the propos, d comicil. A ju lge was brought constantly and prominently In fore the public eve ; he must be able to go to circuit, to sit eight or nine hours a day for days toss ther iu eeurts of justice, to give his un• divided attention during that time to close arguments on difficult and complicated subjects, and to deliver his judgments orally in the presence of a most vigilant, critical, and intellectual audience, the Enelidi bar. Hence, if he b:caine physically or men' ally dir'abled, his incapacity wool I become the subject ef public notice and general comment. This did not apply to a member of the Indian council. The business was done in private and so long as he could attend a committee in a private room, look over papers, and go through the form of tran-aetnae hu‘inees, however much his capacity for le -1 our niigbt be diminished, CF his judgment impaired he would be able to go through the semblance of perferming the duties allotted to him, and would not himself he con , cioue that the time had come when he ought to be replaced by a younger and abler man. The system of life nomination, therefore, desirable as it undoubtedly waa in some respects, would render necessary the ap pointment of a larger number of members than need otherwise belong to it, to make allowance for two or three who might be incapacitated, and in the next place if the council were divided, as it ought to he into com mittees, very likely important posts is one or more COM. mittens might be filled by men who were thus incapaci tated. The principle of nomination for a long tetra, without the power of re-election, was obviously inexpe dient, on account of the different manner in which the rule would operate on different persons. If a man of 40 were nominated for 12 years, he would be excluded from the performance of his duty at an age when, when for all deliberative purposes, his judgment was in its maturity, and he was as fit as ever to discharge public duties. On the other hand, if a man advanced in life were appointed for 10 or 12 years, it was probable that he would be incapacitated for duty before the close of his term. Under this system the difficulty of the government. in selecting efficient men would be increased. With regard to the third mode in which the principle of no mination might be applied—that of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, who proposed that the members of the council should be appointed for a short time with a power of re-appointment—he would only say that, prac tically, it would place the members of the council in a position of far greater dependency than that of any clerk employed in the public offices, for although the minister had the power of discharging a clerk he virtu ally held his office for life if his conduct k w ne a w s s ; whereas the or council, tlyexpire, and knowi ng a l so termofoffice t that he h a n d e no mw c e l mo a u i b m ledr o os n hf the minister is be re-appointed when that term expired, he would feel it a matter of favour and individual preference if he was re-appointed by the minister. Although this might have little effect upon men of high honour and publi c s pi r it, it wou ld s till affect such a man injuriously, because, however much be might be inclined, from conviction to support the policy of the minister, it would expose him to the risk of misconetruction, to the risk of having it imputed to him that he supported the policy of the minister against his conscience for the sake of obtaining his nomination the second time. (Hear.) Moreover, men of ability and ex perience would not be so willing to accept office for so short a term as they would be if appointed for a longer term, or in a different manner. Of these three modes of nomination, first was that which, if they w in er b e i to op f i s e lilorib,resented the leasta p ck on any one, th e inconv en ience. But, before they consented to accept any one of them, the house ought fairly and deliberately to consider whether fie other necaes were available fc,r the appointment of at least a portion of the council so pro posed. If the house were inclined to enter into the con sideration of such a project, it would probably not to that in proposing that the principle of election be substituted for that of nomination, they were not intro ducing any innovation, but building on the actual foun dation which they found in existence. lie believed the house would admit generally that if a perfectly satisfac tory constituency could be found, that was a method which would be preferred on all hands to the method of nomination. The difficulty was to find such a constituency. (Hear, bear.) And here he wished to say plainly and dis tinctly that in proposing to the house the elective prin• ciple he was not at all confounding that with the prin ciple of representation. Anything in the nature of a re presentation of Indian interests in this country wag utterly impracticable.
