Ile re gretted that some violent speeches had been tnade since they last assembled, and ho could not refrain from- saying that such exhibitions of feeling only tended to throw ob3tael,,s in the way of a sp ealy settle ment of the question. Having made some further reference .to the speeches mule on the presentation of th) addresses by the .R.;form Union to Mr. Gla.l - on Saturday,the right honourable gentleman went on to point ont the advantage of avoiding- all unnecessary and exciting observations, 135can:e by that means he f-dt cer tain they could only obtain that which was the desire or all, namely, a good and efficient bill which would be acceptable to the people. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the Scotch Reform Bill, it was founded iu all respects on the . model of the English one, and, therefore, be felt he need not refer further to that part of the bill, but he would proceed to refer to another portion of the measure, viz., the distribution of seats. The number of representatives from Scotland was now 60, and the Governs eneproposed by the bill to give 7 additional members to that part.Apthe United Kingdom. With respect to the Universities tiVieilaroposed to give one member to Edinburgh and one of of Glasgow and Aberdeen. As to the countieo proposed to give an additional member to Lanipiplidi Ayrshire, and Aber deenshire. Glasgow would, by the bill, be diviled into two divisions—the north sending two members, and the southern division one member to Parliament ; and an additional member • would be given to a new group of burghs to be formed by the bill. There were various otherdetails with which he would nottrouble the house, but he hoped the best results would follow the introduction of the bill. Mr. MONCRIEFF, referring to the proposad borough franchise, pointed out that the circumstances of the Scotch' boroughs were different from those of the English boroughs, and expressed something like alarm at the effect which would be produced by the application of one un varying rule in Scotland, and which would in sonic respects be the entire reverse of that which was expected to follow from it in England. As an example of what was likely to be the operation of the new franchise, the right hon. and learned gentleman observed that, in Edinburgh 8,865 per sons would be enfranchised under the Government bill, or about three times as many as would have been admitted under the £7 franchise of the late Ministry. A significant cheer from the Conservative benches drew from the right hon. gentleman the remark that he did not adduce this fact with the view of taunting Ministers for coming to what he believed was a sound and practical conclusion, but be cause last year they professed to be terrified at the pro posal of a much less extension of the franchise in England. From the liberality of the measure for Scotland he took occasion to complain of the more restricted scheme of the English measure; but, after making some suggestions with reference to the county franchise, he promised that so far as he was concerned the details of the bill should meet candid and fair consideration. Sir J. FERGUSSON said that the bill was founded not upon statistics, but upon the principle expounded by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and endeavoured to allay Mr. Moncrieff's apprehensions on account of the numbers who would probably be admitted to the possession of the borough franchise in Scotland by reminding him that the great majority of his countrymen were remarkable for their intelligence, and especially well qualified to exercise the franchise. In the discussion which followed, and in which the Scotch members bore tIA - principal share, there was a pretty general concurrenCe of opinion in favour of the main features of the bill. Mr. Baxter went to the extent of saying that he rejoiced to be able to support a measure which conferred upon Scotland so much more extensive a franchise than the bill of the late Government; whilst Mr. Grant Duff warmly thanked the Chancellor of the Exche quer for having brought forward the most liberal proposal that had ever been put before the house with any chance of being carried. Mr. B. Cochrane congratulated the Cro= vornment on having produced a scheme which, according to all appearances, gave satisfaction to both sides of the, house. This remark evoked the first expression of dissent that was heard. It came from Mr. Dunlop; who hesitated not to say that the bill would, in his opinion, admit to the borough franchise the very worst class of householders. On the other hand, Mr. Lang frankly and gladly accepted the now franchise; but objection was taken to the pro jected distribution of seats by Sir J. Ogilvy, Sir E. Cole brooke, Mr. Bouverie (wk.) represents Kilmarnock, one of the grouped boroughs intended to be "dissolved"), and Mr. D. AllLaren, who objected to " weeding out" the newly created boroughs from the counties and converting the let ter iutd, prooor vaa." Mr. GLADSTONE —I rise, sir, for the purpose of point ing out to the house that we have not had as yet one single word of information from an authoritative source on a question of very groat interest to the whole of the three kingdoms, namely, in what manner the additional seats proposedko, be bestowed upon Scotland are to be obtained. There is not a single English seat proposed to be dealt with in the English bill in such a manner as to bo made dispos able for supplying the wants of Scotland, and it is hardly possible to supdose that the right hon. gentleman would contemplate an augmentation of the number of the house without having first stated it to the house as a political proposition of very great breadthaud weight. (Hear, hear.) I remember when, in 1852, there were four vacant seats, and when, Parliament being about to dissolve, there was an understanding that no question was to be in troduced except such as was of a necessary and urgent character, the right hon. gentleman introduced a bill for disposing of those four seats, upon the plea, not that this house consisted of too few members, but that it was neces sary to raise the house to the constitutional number of 658. If the right hon. gentleman attaches so much value to that number, it only confirms me in my belief that, if ho had intended to increase the number of the house, he would have stated his intention; and we therefore seem to be thrown upon this alternative, that the seven members whom ho proposes to give to Scotland he intends to take away from Ireland. (Hoar, hear, and laughter.) Whether he really does intend anything so cruel as that I do not know ; but if he should, I hope that he will not succeed in giving effect to it. (Hear, hoar.) We have a right to know whether an addition is to be made to the number of the house ; and if an addition is to be made to its num ber, the question should bo submitted to the notice of the house in such a manner as to enable it to form a proper end impartial judgment upon the matter, and to distribute the adlitional seats according to the relative claims of each country. (Hear, hear.) As to the general provisions of the bill, I have not the least doubt that they will under go very thorough investigation ; but with respect to the borough franchise, I feel it necessary to say a few words, ar.d these not of the same character as the words it has been my duty to use, and I fear may be again my duty to use, in reference to the extraordinary proposals which have been made in regard to England, and which, I admit, the right hon. gentleman was rightly entitled to consider in the main as proposals adopted by the house. The plan of the Government, from ,£lO downwards, gives within the limits of Scotland enfranchisement without any invidious or offensive distinction between man and man. But 1 can not help fearing that when we descend to the lower part of the scale in Scotland, as in England, we get upon some difficult and dangerous ground. Ido not understand what answer is to be made to the speech of the hon. member for Greenock. Tho right hon. gentleman is determined to avoid introducing into the Scotch borough . franchise what ho calls the hard line. I have never been able to understand the intensity of the right hon. gentleman's hostility to the hard line— (hear, hear)—becauso, although he has undoubtedly con structed a plan for the franchise in England, and now in Scotland, in which there is no such line drawn, yet, after all, if the principle of the line be so indefensible in the case of the occupying householder, how are we to defend the principle of the line in the case of the occupying lodger and of the county voter ? (Hear, hear,) Now, I do not deny that there is an amount of advantage in get ting rid of it; but will the right hon. gentleman be able to get rid of it, even in Scotland ? In Scotland, in the case of all lands and heritages under ,£4 a year, the name of tenant is not inscribed on the valuation roll. The pro prietor is charged with and pays the assessment, but he has relief against the tenant and the occupier ; and that being so, will he not have every inducement, inasmuch as he can do it without the cost of one shilling to himself, to pay the assessment, not in his own name, but in the name of the tenant, and in that way to make all the tenants under .£4 voters, and of course voters subject to influence? (Hear, hear.) Now, sir, that appears to me to be a very serious matter, because I do not think it is a de sirable relation to make between landlord and tenant. (Hear, hear.) Again, by the 42d clause of the Scotch Poor Law Act, it is lawful for parochial boards to exempt from assessment any person or class of persons on the ground of inability to pay ; and thus the right hon. gentleman, in his anxiety to avoid the hard line, places himself in this diffi culty, that it depends upon the parochial board to deter mine to what point the franchise shall descend. (Hear, hear.) I confess Ido not think that is a satisfactory state of things. The right hon. gentleman was pleased to make a flattering allusion to me—it was much more than I ex pected or deserved—in referring to the difficulties he ex periences in the prosecution of the measure of reform. On that point I shall say nothing, but I cannot help refer ring to the allusion which he made to the speeches deli vered out of this House. He said that there appeared in London, since the House last discussed the question, a re giment, a body of persons, whom he described as incen diaries. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —Obsolete incendiaries. ( Laughter.) Mr. GLADSTONZ---I could understand "vv3rnini.w.teci" IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.- LAST -'E'SriNING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ESCAPE FROM, A CONVENT. Lord SIIAPTESRURY 'said that he wished to call their lordships' attention to a paragraph which had appeared in the papers relative to the escape of six young ladies from a convent, and who had gone to th e police station at Sheffield for a night's shelter and pro tection, and that instead of receiving it were sent back to their convent again. Ile would ask the noble lord at the head of the Government what steps had been taken in the matter ? The EARL of DERBY said that he had not been able to ascertain what had been done by his right honourable friend the Secretary for the Home Depart ment, to whom the matter belonged, as he had not returned to town till that afternoon, but he would direct his attention to it. But he (the noble earl) must inform the noble earl opposite that, according to the statement in tho Times, those young Catholic ladies had been conveyed to the convent at Sheffield, and not to. the one from which -they came, which appeared to him was perhaps the most proper thing to do The subject then dropped. THE DUCHY OF LUXEMBOURG. Lord DERBY said he had great pleasure in announcing that a treaty which had been the subject of a conference lately held in London with regard to the Duchy of Lux embourg, had been satisfactorily adjusted and signed. The question had arisen in consequence of what had taken place by the recent events on the Continent. It provided that Prussia should withdraw her gar rison from that of the fortress of Luxembourg; that it should 1$ dismantled and should not be repaired, that Luxen;bodg should be guaranteed to the King of Holland, and that Luxembourg should form an integral portion of that kingdom. After a few remarks as to the gsarantee from Lord STANLEY of ALDEramthe subject dropped. INCREASE OF TILE EPISCOPATE BILL. The house went into committee up.ni this bill. Lord STANLEY of ALDEELEY stated that, in his opinion, no incroaso -in the episcopate should take place unless Parliament sanctioned it.. Lord DERBY was 'of opinion that the words or any part of it" shonl l bA juserte , i. that it might bit referred to the commission t , ) amend the scheme. The amendment was then put, add, on a division it was rejected by a large majority. Further progress with the bill tiasAhen postp9ned, and the house adjourned. • 'et. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW WRIT. A new writ was ordered to issue for Sutherlandshire in the room of Sir D. Dundas, who has accepted the steward ship of the Chiltern Hundreds. MU/4ICIPAL CORPORA.TIONS. Mr. S. MILL gave notice that on the 21st of May ho should move for leave to bring in a bill to establish muni cipal corporations in the various districts of the metro polis, and also for establishing a c:mtral federal municipal corporation for the whole of the metropolis. THE FENIAN PRISONERS. Mr.,VERNER asked the Chi e f S ecre t ar y f or I re l an d, if thet3(l.4-erado who twice attempted to shoot the police in the streets of Dublin was the same Cody or Byrne who was arrestedqit : a Fenian council, after violent resistance, on the 13th April of last year, and was liberated late in the autumn; and if the noble lord had any objection to grant a return of the number of Fenian prisoners who have been re-arrested out of the 509 and odd whom ho stated at the beginning of the session he had sot free ? Lord NAAS said the identification was not perfectly complete, but there was hardly any doubt but that it was as the hon. member had stated in his question. With re spect to the number of persons re-arrested, he had to say that the entire number arrested since the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in February, 1356, amounted to 961, and the re-arrests only amounted to 26. THE SOUTH KENSINGTON CATALOGUE. Mr. DILLWYN asked the Vice-President of the Com mittee of Council on Education whether the publication by advertisement of a universal catalogue of art books, compiled by the Science and Art Department at South Kensington, the first part of which appeared in the Times newspaper of the Bth inst., had been duly authorised, and if so, what was the object of publishing the said catalogue by means of newspaper advertisements, what was the esti mated cost of publishing such catalogue in this form, and whether it was intended to publish it in any other form ? Lord R. MONTAGU said the publication of the cata logue was authorised by the late Government, and their object in inserting it in the .Times was that it would at once secure a circulation of 65,000, and be seen all over the world, by which the correction of errors would be more likely to be corrected than by its publication in a book. The cost of the advertisement was £ll a column instead of £2O as he was informed was the usual charge. Only a portion of the catalogue had yet appeared, but the publication would be spread over a period of three years, and the cost would be £3,000. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") A portion, however, of the amount—viz., £2,400 —would be returned to the Government for the stamp duty on advertisements, so that the real cost of the publication would be £2,600. Mr. GLADSTONE would like to know what was meant by stamp duty on advertisements? Lord R. MONTAGU said ho could give no further in formation at that moment. He was informed that a portion of the money that would come back to Government would be derived from stamps and advertisement s . Mr. GREGORY asked whether before th e w h o l e o f th e arrangemenis were complete d the house would have an opportunity %g its opinion on th e ma tt er ? w ould inquire and g i ve an answer ora R. m o o f N e x T p A re u a u s n to-morrow. THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. In reply to an Son. MEMBER, Lord STANLEY said the Conference concluded its sittings on Saturday. On that day a treaty was signed, and when the ratifications were exchanged a copy of the treaty would be laid on the tablo. TIIE RESIGNATION OF MIL WALPOLE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said he had to inform the house of the rasignation of Mr. Walpole, which was occasioned solely by the unsatisfactory state of his health ller Majesty hadaccepted the right hon. gant.lo man's resignation, and he therefore only held offioe until his successor was appointed. The right hon. gentleman should still occupy a seat on the Government bench, and although not oie of her Majesty's Ministers, he would still remain one of her responsible advisers. THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved for leave to bring in a bill for the amendment of the repre sentation of the people in Scotland. The bill was founded on the same principle as the English Reform Bill, which set out that the performance of a public duty was requisite for the acquisition of public right; that, accom panied by residence, was in the opinion of the Government the safest and best foundation for such an important measure. The Government looked upon the division that had taken place last week on the English Reform Bill as a guarantee for the settlement of the borough franchise, and in order that that bill might be proceeded with as speedily as possible, ho hoped there would be no attempt to rescind or;to perplex the vote, because it Was of the PRICE.... 4d. STADIPED sd. as applied to individuals, but I am disposed to question the use of "obsolete." (Laughter.) I presume it is meant to express " wornt-out," but it does not make the epithet more compliment:try. (Laughter.) Put he described them as obsolete incendiaries awl sputters of stale sedition. -(lTear, and laughter.; I qu:sstion altogether the p-tvience of denunciations of this vague and general kind by en ad viser of the p-own and a leader of this House of Parlia ment, eon...lliad in terms which it is free to any parson to use against the most temperate expressions of. the most . reasonable ailvorsaries, which cannot be brought to any distinct test, and which Is does not :tt the time illustrate by unfolding the statement or the name of the person he thinks right to characterise. But I may say to the right hon. gentleman that when authority comes into the field for the purpose of forbidding or denouncing, unless it can carry out the prohibition or denunciation upon the point at issue, the result is that authority loses its credit and power. (Hear.) If there have been spouters of sedition in London or elsewhere,awho have received couatenanc , e from men in this house, it is desirable that the right hon. gentleman should cause these persons to be called to ac count before the proper tribunals, so that if guilty they should be visited with the punishment they deserve, and if not guilty, that the party making attacks of this kind should be reprehended by the house. The difficulty which the right hon. gentleman has to encounter arises from the nature of the subject. The borough franchise is a question of gloat breadth and depth,.:Td the arguments which are employed respecting it turn upon old constitutional principles. The objections taken to it are not of a character to be settled by an adverse vote of this house ; for, in the belief of those who oppose the franchise, the distinction to be taken between the possession or non-possession of a political right is unjust, offensive, and adverse to the fixed and general convicawasof_th.o people. (Ileax, hear) . Tlte rig 4 hon. gentleman will readily draw a distinction bAwoen factious opposition and the sense of an obligation which cannot be escaped from, to save the house, and save the Legislature, and save the country, as far as possible, from the incon veniences mind, it may be, the perils of a protracted agita tiOn. After what has been said with respect to the Scotch franchise, the right hon. gentleman is himself his own Most formidable difficulty ; for I tell him that no one has struck a heavier blow at the franchise for England than he haS by the Scotch plan, which confers the franchise with outThiOsing any offensive distinctions between man and man. Let the right.hon. gentleman do the same thing with regard to the borough franchise for England, and all difficulties will disappear from his sight, and he will have reason to congratulate the house, and claim credit for himself for having conciliated opponents and caused re sistance to disappear with regard to a subject upon which all the minds of the people are both excited and exercised. (Hear, hear.) Colotril FRENCH submitted that no case Ind been made out for the increase of Scotch representatives, and that Ireland had a far stronger claim to an augmentation of members. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I wish to make a few observations on the bill I have asked leave to introduce, and which the right hon. gentleman the mem ber for South Lancashire assumes is so very different from the English bill, but which the Government thinks is identical with it. The principle of the English bill, that the bona fide payment of rates should bathe test of fitness, for the franchise, is also the principle of the Scotch fran chise, and therefore, making allowance for the difference between the two countries, I am at a loss to understand the great distinction which is to create so much popularity as regards the Scotch measure, and such distrust as regards the borough franchise in England. With respect to the English bill nothing has occurred in this houSe of a discouraging character. It has been brought in under circumstances of great difficulty ; but, after repeated discussions, the house has recorded its opinion that the principle on which the bill is founded is the right principle. To that principle the Government mean to adhere, and if it were interfered with they would no longer undertake the conduct of the measure, but upon all other points they are prepared to consider the conclu ' sinus of-the house with sincere respect. With regard to the amount of increase in the Scotch constituenciss, the effect of the bill will be to double the existing constituen cies, which number aoout 53,000—a number not calculated t i alarm anybody. The county franchise, which will be a' eopyhold franchise of £lO, will add a considerable number to the existing constituencies, but not quite so many as iu the clue of the boroughs. Other objections have boen taken to certain details of the bill, which will be found upon a more careful examination of its provisions not to be well founded. I may also state that no apprehension need Ama, ant,,t,au e d on thekliabje,ct of boundaries, as it is pro posed to appoint. bottudary commissioners in whose justice and impartiality tho country will have the fullest confi dence. Then comes the great question, where are all these members to come from ? Will they come from their con stituencies ? • (Laughter.) The member for South Lan cashire says this is a practical, not to say constitutional, question. But who made it a constitutional question ? The right hon. gentleman, when I proposed the measure of 1832, said he did not seo any magic in 658 ; there was no cabalistic charm which should'induee the House of Com mons to accept it. (Hear.) It is mull more important that there should be a fair representation, than to adhere to any numbers, for it is a practical and not a constitu tional question. I shall make the prtiposal I have an nounced to-night, and I am convinced it will have the support of the House of Commons. After some observations from Mr. Crum-Ewing, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. Oiaufurd, and Sir G. Montgomery, leave was given to bring in the bill. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL The house then went into committee on the English Reform Bill, aud resumed the consideration of the third clause. An amendment, proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, to the effect that the compound householder claiming to be rated and placed on the register should pay an equal amount in the pound to that payable by other ordinary occupiers, received the opposition of Mr. ATE TON, who made a strenuous attempt to open up once again the questiOn of personal rating, in which, however, he signally failed. For so little was the encouragement given to him, that after a short speech from the Attorney-Gene ral, the amendment was put and carried sub silentio. Mr. 11‘C. TORRENS moved to insert words enfranchis ing persons, who, occupying separately, and as sole tenant for 12 months preceding the last day of July, lodgings which unfurnished would let at £lO a year, and having resided therein for the six months preceding the same date, should claim to be placed on the register of electors at the next ensuing registration of voters. Mr. GOLDNEY proposed, as an amendment, that. the occupation should be of the same lodgings, that they should let unfurnished at £l5 a year instead of £lO, and that the .residence should be twelve months instead of six. The amendment of Mr. GOLDNEY was opposed by Mr. GOSCREN, who contended that a £l5 lodger fran zhiso would be to all intents and purposes a middle class franchise, and operate to exclude the most deserving of the working men. Sir R. KNIGHTLEY condemned the lodger franchise as opposed to the principle on which the Government said they had founded their bill, and declared that the Conser vative party had better return to their former places than abandon that principle. Mr. T. HUGIIES argued that the £l5 qualification would exclude, at least, two-thirds of the people whom it was the wish of the house to admit—the better class of skilled artisans. Mr. SCHREIBER believed that £lO lodgers would com pare not unfavourably With householders below £10; but as was contrary to the principle of the bill ho should vote against 13)th amendments until the lodger . was pre sented to him as a person who deserved to enjoy a public privilege by the discharge of a public duty. In consequence of a suggestion by Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. GOLDNEY intimated his readiness to withdraw his am ludment upon condition that Mr. Torrens would insert the words "annual value" after ten pounds. Mr. TORRRENS consented to this, provided it met with the views of the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, noticing the observations of Sir IL Knightley, said that personal rating and the payment of rates wai not the only prin ciple of the bill ; for there were other franchises contained in it —as, fur example, direct taxation and tto possession of money in the funds—with which it had nothing to do. The principle of a lodger franchise had for some time been accepted by the house, and tho only question was how to apply it in a satisfactory manner. Upon the whole he thought the payment of .ZlO, with the addition of the words "annual value" supplied a fair solution of the question. A division was subsequently taken on the question whether the term of residence should be six or twelve months, and it resulted in the adoption of the longer period by 208 to 145. The proposal of a lodger franchise, with the above mentioned qualification was then agreed to. Mr. WATKIN moved to add as a proviso to the clause —that no tenement should be considered dwelling-house for the purposes of the bill which contained less than two rooms. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER assented to the proviso ; and there seemed to be a general disposition on the part of the home to acquiesce in it, but Mr. NEATE rcse, and protesting that the subject was one of great importance requiring discussion, moved that the chairman should report progress. This led to another division, but the motion was nega tived by 235 to 48. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed a bop that, after this divisioe, hone w:n:4m would allow Mr. GOSCHEN opposed th e proviso, and Mr. PEASE moved to add the words, "and that Ne said two rooms shall not toge Cher contain less than 1,600 cubic feet." Sir R. PALMER objected t o the house coming to any hasty decision on the question, and recommended that the proviso should be withdrawn.. The Government under taking to consider how far in tau interpretation clause the term "dwelling-house " could_ ;be so defined as to meet the object of the proviso. Some discussion ensued; btzt ultimately it WaS agreed that the Chairman should repat Progress, and the house resumed accordingly.

Yesterday Major-General Freeman Murray com menced the surnt*er inspection of the 2d Depot Bat talion at Chatham, under the command of Col. W. Rickman. The various corps comprising the bat-. talion, including the depot companies of the - t .s t battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals, Ist and 2d ba.t talions of the Bth (the King's) Regiment, 29th Regi ment, 30th Regiment, 82d Regiment, and 106th Bombay Light Infantry, were formed on Chatham. LLines at 11 a.m., when, on the arrival of Major.. Gen. Murray, accompani , xl Brijo.de Ma.for Lynch, Capt. Herries, aide-de-camp, and other ofii cers of the divisional Staff, the battalion, which was formed hi-line, gave the usual siaute.-The line hay ing been inspected, Gen. Murray took up his posi.. tion at the flagstaff, when the battalion was put through the manual and platoon exercises and a few other movements, followed by the formation of the companies in squares, when the usual question was asked for any complaints. At the termination of this portion of their inspection the troops were din. missed to their quarters, when Gen. Murray pro, ceeded to the general parade-ground, where he wit. nessed the officers and non-commissioned officers go through the sword drill. At 8 o'clock the whole of the officers and men of the battalion were drawn up in review order, on the great lines, for the customary. inspection in battalion, light infantry, and company movements, when the entire force was put through a variety of manoeuvres, under the direction of Gen. Murray, with the view of testing the efficiency of the officers and men in field movements. The inspec tion of the battalion will be resumed and brought to a close to-day. Yesterday morning at the rifle ranges near the North Camp, Aldershott, Instructor of Musketry Serg. Thomas Lilley, of the 70th Surrey Regiment, was accidentally shot by a private of the same regi ment, named Warburton. It appears that a squad of the regiment, under the command of Captain Wright,.Lieut. King, and Ensign Johnstone, with Dr. Hession, surgeon of the regiment in - medical charge, were at ball practice at the regimental ranges. The squad, provided with 20 rounds of ammunition for the Shider-Enfield rifle, had ex pended ten rounds at the 400 yard range in volley firing, when the order was given to throw out the empty cartridge case, and advance to the 300 yard range for independent firing, and the men had done so, and during the interval of checking off the marks on the targets, and washing them prepara tory to:the next practice, Sergeant-Instructor Lilley went round the squad instructing the men how to use the rifle at independent firing without raising the back sight. lie commenced at the right hand man, Sergeant Pearson, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the squad, telling every man as he passed him suc3essively to aim at his eye. This was obeyed in every instano.•, and the last man of the squad iu obeying the order pulled the trigger, and, the rifle being loaded, the charge entered I.illey's eye, blowing his brains out, and killing him instantly. Warburton was immediately seized, and on his pouch being examined nine rounds of ammu nition only remained. Ile was asked where the tenth was, and he replied, " That was what shot the ser geant." The prisetter, who was deeply affected, was marched off to the camp to await the coroner's in quest. He is described as a steady man, but very awkward both in shooting and drill. He has been in the regiment ten years, and has two good conduct badges. Lilley, the deceased, had been 12 years in the service. He was married, with two children. The enormous floating iron dock, intended for the use of vessels belonging to the Royal Navy at Ber muda, now in course of construction in the yard of Messrs. Campbell, Johnstone, and Co., the paten tees, at Silvertown, facing the dockyard at Wool wich, was yesterday officially inspected on behalf of the Admiralty by Major Andrew Clarke, R.E., di rector of engineering and architectural works to the Admiralty, and a very favourable opinion was pro nounced of it by a number of naval officers and scientific persons who accompanied the inspecting officer. Some account of the undertaking as it ap peared at the commencement of the work of con struction was given in The Sun last year. Since that time 1,200 men have been constantly employed at the work, which isprogressing very favourably. The ' dock is 333 ft. in length from end to end, and 381 ft. long over all cutwaters, and 83ft. 9in. wide in side of ditto. The depth is 71ft. ilin. On reaching the floor (open from end to end) the visitors were struck with admiration at the vast and uninter rupted area which it afforded, fully capable of dry docking, when in position, ships of the Bellero phon class. In the opietbn of undoubted authorities it will be snificiently buoyant to be towed out to its destination complete. This is a matter of great importance, as it will preclude the necessity of a large establishment at that station for the purpose of putting the dock together, which it would require if shipped and transported piecemeal. The dock is divided into 48 water-tight compart ments, formed by seven water-tight longitudinal bulkheads, nine water-tight transverse main ribs, and by the outside and inside skins. These com partments consist of load or upper chambers, and of air or bottom chambers, fur operations of floating, loading, raising, or lowering requisite in docking ships, and also for careening the dock. It will weigh about 8,000 tons, and will be launched broadside on. The contractors have suggested to the Admiralty the addition of moveable trays, or pontoons of suffi cient floating power and stability for docking small ships upon each tray or pontoon to be lifted by the dock, emptied and floated out with the ship on it. By this arrangement as many small vessels can be docked at the time as there may be trays or pontoons available. A small working design illustrating the capabilities of the dock was exhibited in the model room, and showed satisfactorily how the locking of ships of various classes will bo effected, as well as the advantage of the ways in docking the ships of the new transport class intende d for Indian service.
