INQUIRY INTO THE ALL EGED MIS CONDUCT 'OF THE POLICE.- -(THIS DA V.) The Commissioners took th sir seats this morning al 20 rainutes past 11 o'clock. Cr. Ellice banded in a let ter from Mr. Horton, one of th. 3 complainants who did not appear tc identify the :man he spoke to, staff .ng he made a mistake in saying the number, from recollection, w. as 20 A. It shonA have been 20 D. Mr. George Streddac, ho gave evident aon the first day .of the inquiry, was cal led by Mr. Ellie 3. Ile stated that; it was imppssible fc r Superintendel It Hughes to haN la used his whip, from 4to 5 o'clock, 5J i the manner dee aribed by the witness() s. Cross-examined by 21 Tr. Mitchell—f in iperintendent Hnehes might have whip ped well•dressed 1: %dies without ess seeing it. He CI sought there was a bout 150,000 petsons in the Park on I.he afternoon of t he Ist. :By the Commissioneni—Superintender Hughes ap pet wed in a very good ta caper. He did nc t see him com mit; himself that day. 3tsperintendent Sanaa' tl Hughes was n :t called—He sai ahe was superintend ent of the D divi is ion. He has be, utt nearly 25 years is the force, and iperintendent sin c() 1844. He stated t ,he disposition oft h e body of the pol it te under his commt‘nd in the Park on. the Ist July, and. also the reserved force, the numbers o f which were sta tea . in Sit Richard :Mayne's evidence. The written r( e s produced were read to the men 1: e fore they left t o hes t' s r tatio r n.On'the ground they were to] a to sit quietly on the grass, and s rl,ot interfere with th e people until ho citing, yelling, or o tl%sturbance occu raced, and then th( 3y were to clear- the p ple from the .rails. When the, affair with the eel eurnmenced, aas d foreseeing sot nething might result fronaNt u he gave, directions to ha re: the eel thrown into the Npentin e, which was doi it. The crowd increased until foNo'ch icic. The Car rie gi3-way was blocked up about that time.. The crowd was behaving in a tumultuous manner—hi king, yelling, hooting, and whistling. He then joined II CF P.etor Mar tin, when ho was struck with a stone. :Marti', said, " I Ittlloa, stones are coming," and asked w itness it he had seen the horses and carriage run awl y. Marts said_ the carriage-way must be cleared, and t s o inspectors can se up, and from what they stated to hi. a he desired the men to be brought up to clear the c arriage-way. Thi 3re were a number of rough-looking perE tons there at the time hissing and whistling. The crowds. rss assuming a formidable aspect in the carriage-drive when he or der( td it to be cleared. Many objected, sayqx ig, " Who are you?" " We have as much right here as y ou." The crowd was obstinate and would not disperse'. He saw the men flourish their staffs, and as b;he people were, obstinate, he gave the men orders 1;c , use their stay es. He meant it to be done, and he sa w two men stru, •.:k on the back moderately ; they wore 'within the carriiage-way and obstinate. The police then_ attempted to z stove the roughs from, the railings on the south side. The respectably-dressed people we ro behind. Seeing the men could not get them back . front the car; riage , way he gave orders to the men 44 -under the rails" to clear them back. His horse was crspering, and would neither go broadside nor head on t,o the rails. He could not get near to the crowd from their yelling. He moved his whip over the horses head vrith 5,6, and 7 MU. (He produced the whip, a stout. gentleman's riding whip in good condition, which he said he bad used. for two years.) He denied striking any one that day. THIRD READINGS. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—No female has ap. peare4l to state she was struck by the sup erintendent. Witness told the men to he, cautious with women and children. He ordered the men to use their stalls before he received Sir Richard Mayne's instruc tion to "act vigorously." He found it was necessary, when he gave the men orders to use their staves to act firmly. He had scarcely ever met with such an obsti nate orov,7d. He did not, during that p: irt of the day, say " D---- you blood men, use your stalres." About 9 o'clock, when it was getting dark, 100 m en were called onto clear the ',Ark. Notice was given to the erowd first to disperse. On ge t ting into the open park where his men were in a straggling' state, obeying his ordlers, he said, "D— your blood, own, feel your left." He had in Park-street and in the Park about 538 men of all ranks. He estimated the crowd around the receiving house on one occasion from 40,000 to 50,000. He saw the horses in two carriages run off, and two saddle horses. The more the horses appeared frightened, the more noise the crowd made. He gave directions, on three occa sions, for the removal of three persons from the crowd without taking them into custody; one was Mr. Bawstead, who had his bands to his mouth, hooting very much ; he resisted the police very much, which caused confusion ; seeing the constables wanted encouragement, he spoke firmly to him. Mr. l3awstead became so violent that he had him taken to the station house ; his intention, at first, was only to have: cau tioned him ; energy of voice and manner was frequently required; to a very large extent, the people were obsti nate ; he considered it necessary to interfere with them, and he considered now, what he did was right, and was done at the proper time ; it would sot have been safe to have left the people to act as they liked. Mr. Commissioner Henderson—What in your opinion would have been the result if they bad Witness—lt would be difficult to say. It was neces sary something should be done to Seep good order and control, and prevent breaches of the peace. He only drank half-a-pint of small beer that day with his dinner, and during the afternoon and evening he drank only tea and water. He was not excited, but merely positive in word and maner. H e saw a respectably dressed female when the railings were cleared partly fall down. He had heard a good rainy constables were struck that day. He occasionally h►w stones in the air. It was a common thing where there were large numbers congregated for the men to have their, truncheons drawn. It was done at the Botanical fetes. If more violence was used by the police than necessary it was not done by his orders. He had so young men there. He neither struck man, woman, nor child, nor swore that day but once as above stated. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell;--If Superintendent May bad not been ill witness would have been in the Park with his men. He received on Thursday morn ing verbal orders from Sir Richard Mayne to clear the rails if the crowd in front were turbulent. He believed be was in the room alone with Sir Richard Mayne. No further conversation took place between them relative to the day's proceedings than that above stated. His impression was that Sir Richard Mayne did not anticipate any disturbance in the park that day. Some of the placards alluded to by Sir Richard Mayne in his evidence, were brought to his office. He believed they were taken from the hoarding and not purchased at a shop. He was not aware of any one having sur veyed the park before this day ; but Sir Richard Mayne gave orders if any stones were there to have them guarded. He passed the place where they were twice before he noticed them. Had he seen them the day before he should have reported it. It was the duty of the constable on the beat to have re ported it the previous day. If he had been the super intendent of the A division, he did not think he should have sent an inspector to survey the ground. Inspector Da rkin was the acting-inspector during Superintendent May's illness, when he gave instructions to the men to move the crowd back 30 or 40 yards. It was intended to keep the line then, but it was difficult to keep a line after the collecting of the people ; probably, in that respect, the number of police was too small. A small body of police with a large assemblage of persons required extra exertions to be used. The number of the police might easily have been increased by 300 or 400 men. He did not know if Lord Alfred or Lord William Paget was struck by the police. After the eel was taken away the crowd became very tumultuous. He thought there was rather more hooting and hissing at the carriages in the Park than at the police cabs. A large number of the crowd, in cluding some well-dressed persons, appeared "to be imbued with disturbance in their mind, and obstinately inclined." It was necessary, when the police had anything to do, for them to do it resolutely. He did not think more per suasion and less force advisable on this day. CRIMINAL LAW RETURNS.

ENT HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) ROYAL COMMISSION. I The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol lowing hills :—Places of Religious Worship Registra tion, Weights and Measures, Public Libraries and Mu seums, West Indies Relief Loans Arrangement, Encum bered Estates (Ireland) Acts Continuance, Burial of Poor Persons, Lunatic Asylums (Ireland), State Carriages Duties, &c., Convention with the United States, Eccle siastical Jurisdiction Continuance, Treasurers cf Coun ties (Ireland), Edinburgh Lands. Dearness Valley Rail way ; Oxford, Worcester, and Wolv er h amp t on R a il way (Improvement and Branches); Somerset Central Railway, Severn Valley Railway, Torquay Distric Churches, Airdrie Rural District Police, Surrey Gay, East Kent Railway (Extension to Dover) ; Hereford Im provements Act, 1854 (Correction of Oversight), Bray's Estate ; Earl of Abergavenny's Estate. The Lords' Commissioners were the, Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Harrowby, and Lord Monteagle. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from St. Pancras, against any alteration in the Metropolis Local Maoazement Bill. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition on the same subject, and said he intended to name certain amendments in committee to-morrow. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Glas gow, praying for the extension of the Religious Opinions Further Relief Bill to Scotland ; also, several other petitions to the same effect from other parts of Scotland. On the motion of Lord REDSSDALE, the following bills were read a third time and passed :—Dundalk Harbour and Port ; Westminster Improvement ; Glas gow, Dumbarton, and Hellenburgh Railway; and Great Western and Brentford Railway. NEW RIVER COMPANY AND TRUSTEES OF THE RIVER LEA (No. 2) BILL. , On the motion that this bill be read a third time, Lord PANMURE said it was with great reluctance that he rose to interfere with the passing of a bill of this character ; but public interests were involved, which would be seriously affected by the present measure. He therefore appealed to this house whether, under the circumstances, it was proper to sanction such a bill passing into a law. (Hear, hear.) The measure, if passed, would interfere with certain Ordnance works. The matter was referred, in the first instance, to two eminent officers of the Royal Engineers, and two emi a- t officers of the Royal Artillery, all of whom were int- .ted in the works. They made the valuation, and T na h m e e ve certain . sum of money by way o f compensation. in was then referred to Sir W. Cubitt, an impartial i • vidual, who valued the amount of compen sation at 25,1 , In consequence of the company hav ing made no o • to the Government, in the way of compensation, it . :me his duty to resist the third reading of the bill. Lord MONTEAGT upported the bill, and com plained that to noble for hould have withheld his ob jection until the'measure had Ived at its very last stage. He hoped their lordships Woti i ‘ read the bill a third time. Lord PANMURE said it was a .. . . ttatement to say that he had delayed all opposition tot bill until the last stage. The fact was the Ordnance vouring to deal with these parties all along, been endea• effect. They had no anxiety but to protect without property. property. He unde rs t oo d th a t it h a d been the . all along for the B oar d o f O r d nance t o a b s tain fro .• tiee pearing before com m itt ees o f e ith er h ouse . In this ca.' . if the bill passed, it would be productive of damage to the public property, which would have to be made good at the public expense. He should therefore divide the house against the measure, The taxi of WICKLOW said that the privilege con tsnded for by the Board of Ordnance had already been overruled by a committee of the other house. The com pany was anxious to comply with the public demand for a better supply of water, and they ought not to be met by arbitrary impediments on the part of the Govern ment. Lord REDESDALE said the house had only before it the alternative either of rejecting the bill, or allowing it to pass without due provision being made for the pub lic interests, as represented by the Ordnance. He could not but think that the Ordnance had insisted too strongly on their rights. It would have been better had they appeared before the committee and obtained the insertion in the bill of such clauses as might be necessary to pro tect the public service. With a view to some arrange ment being come to, he suggested that the third reading of the bill should be postponed till Thursday. Lord MONTEAGLE concurred in the propriety of this suggestion. The bill was accordingly postponed. The Office of Speaker Bill was brought up and read i a first time. The Chinese Passenger Ships Bill passed through committee. The Nuisances RemoKal and Diseases Prevention Acts Consolidation and Amendment Bill passed through com mittee. The Piers and Harbours (Scotland) Bill was with drawn. Lord BROUGHAM moved for certain returns con nected with the trials at sessions and assizes ; and, in so doing, begged to inquire why the bill which had passed that house for extending the jurisdiction of quarter ses sions and petty sessions had not been proceeded with. The object of the measure was most important, and he hoped a bill founded on the same principle would be re introduced at an early period of next session. The noble and learned lord next alluded to the payment of County Court officers by fees, and - described it as a gross injus tice to the suitors, and an abuse too crying to be longer tolerated. He should deeply regret if this session closed without the passing of any measure for the amendment of the law. It was true the Bills of Exchange Bill had passed, and he was not without hope that some othera would also receive the royal assent. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no appre hension of the Summary Jurisdiction Bill not passing. It was merely suspended for a time, until the HOTIS3 of Commons passed those bills which had yet to come before their lordship's house. It had passed through a select committee, had received various amendments, and had been recommitted in the other house. He had every confidence of its becoming law this session.. Another bill for consolidating several counties togethe r for the purposes of criminal trials, he believed woul d not pass. It was the firm intention of the Government to press the Charitable Trusts Bill, and he had the strongest possible confidence that it would pass the other house. With regard to the Leasing of Settled Estates Bill, his hon. and learned friend the Solicitor- General had assured him that he had no doubt as to its becoming law this session, notwithstanding that it had been referred to a select committee. The fact was that fears had been entertained lest it should lead to the en closure of Hampstead Heath. That was, of course ; absurd, but it was thought desirable to insert a clause to place the matter beyond doubt. If, then, these bills were passed, the session would certainly not have been barren in measures of law reform. Lord WYNFORD thought it would be very hard to except Sir T. Wilson by name from a general measure. The LORD CHANCELLOR believed that what was intended was merely to insert a clause, providing that no person who had applied to Parliament, and who've application had been rejected, should be allowed to take the benefit of the act. At the same time it was only fair to Sir T. Wilson to say that he (the Lord Chan cellor) had never yet seen a bill for the enclosure of Hampstead Heath. (Cheers.) The Coal Mines Inspection Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bills of Lading (No. 2) Bill passed through com mittee. The Huddersfield Burial Ground Act Amendment was read a third time and passed. DISSENTERS' MARRIAGES BILL. On the report of amendments, Lord REDESDALE said that this bill, which had originally been one for relieving Dissenters from certain disabilities, had been expanded into a general law of marriage. He thought therefore that it would be proper to allow their lordships a little more time to consider the amendments. After a conversation the debate was adjourned till Thursday next. ____ The Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill passed through committee. The Lunatic Asylums and Regulations Acts Amend ment Bill passed through committee. The Slave Trade (Sherbrol Bill passed through com mittee. The Militia Officers Qualifications Bill was read a third time and passed. The Trinity College (Dublin) Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes past 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at one o'clock. RE-ELECTIONS. Sir W. MOLESWORTLI took the oaths and his seat on his re-election for the borough of Southwark. Sir B. HALL took the oaths and his seat on his re elec tion fir the borough of Marylebone. Viscount GODERICH presented a petition from Bradford against the Sunday Beer Act. LIMITED LIABILITY BILL. The house having gone into committee on the above bill, to resume the discussion adjourned on the 27th instant, On Clause 1, Mr. BOUVERIE said it would be remembered that on Friday last it was proposed to make the minimum amount of shares 101., to which an amendment was moved by the bon. member for Lambeth (Mr. Williams), fixing the amount at 51. He, however, hoped the com mittee would support him, and allowthe amount to stand at 101. Mr. 'WILLIAMS stated that he had no objection to withdraw his amendment. After a uhort conversation the sum of 10/. was agreed On the same clause, Mr. CAIRNS moved to insert the following amend ment—To leave out remainder of clause, and insert " and any Company consisting of not less than six members associated together in partnership under a deed of settlement for any trading or other purpose (except banking or insurance), and having its capital stock di vided into shares of such nominal value as aforesaid, transferable either with or without the assent of all the members, may obtain from the registrar of Joint Stock Companies a certificate of limited liability, in manner Itlllk)wing, namely ; —lst, The company shall produce to the registrar the deed of settlement of the company, executed by all the partners, and shall deposit with him a true c3py of the deed for registration. 21. The deed of settlement shall specify the name cif the company, such name to end with the word " limited," and also the business or object of the company, and the place or places of business, and also the amount of its capital stock, the number of shares into which it is divided, and the names and places of abode or business of its members, and the number of the shares held by each member. 3d. If the company be a joint-stock company, within the meaning of the Joint-Stock Com pany's Registration Act, it shall, in addition to the mat ters aforesaid, and before or at the time of obtaining a certecate of limited liability, obtain a certificate of com plete rep istration." Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the amendment, and Mr. AsTIE supported it. The house then divided, when the numbees were For the amendment 27 Against it • 39 Majority against -12 Mr. CAIRNS then moved to leave out that part of the clause which provided that 20 per cent, of the capital should be paid up. Mr. POUVERIE defended the clause. Mr. CARDWELL supported the amendment. After some observations from Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Malins, Mr. Glyn, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Hastie, the amendment wasp withdrawn. Clause 1, as amended, was, after some further discus sion, agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the bill. After some discussion, clause 2 was agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the bill. Clause 3 was agreed to with a few verbal amend ments, as were also clauses 4,5, and 6. On clause 7 being put, Mr. CARDWELL, although he had very little hope in carrying his amendment to this clause, felt bound to persevere in it. The amendment he proposed would be no disadvantage except to the dishonest man, and would afford every advantage to the honest trader. The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving the following amendment :—" That, when a company had obtained a certificate of limited liability, every person holding or having, within such period as hereinafter mentioned, held a share in such company, shall be liable to pay the debts of the company to an amount equal to, but not exceeding, the nominal value of the greatest number of shares held by him at any one time within one year next preceding the date of the judgment or decree against the company under which his liability is sought to be enforced. Mr. MACGREGOR deprecated the amendment, feel ing assured that the community would do far better for themselves on securing their own interest than any legis lature could effect. Mr. LOWE deprecated the adoption of any compul sory course. He thought that companies that had any status ought not to be allowed any credit at all. Credit was well enough for private individuals, tut to allow it to Joint-Stock Companies who had solvent partners and men of capital connected with them seemed to him preposterous. Mr. lIASTIE was surprised at the course pursued by the hon. member for Kidderminster, considering that it showed how little he knew of mercantile trans actions, He felt bound to support the amendment. Mr. MALINS objected to the amendment. Lord PALMERSTON objected to the amendmenton the ground that its adoption would in effect alter the whole operation of the measure. After some observations from Mr. MITCHELL and and Viscount GODERICH, Mr. CARDWELL felt bound to divide on his amend ment for the purpose of offering the housean opportunity of marking its sense upon the subject. He confessed in adopting this course he had very little faith in the re- session. ford, Yorkshire ; all ajainst Beer MEDICAL PROFESSION B I L L .—By M r . J.

THE MALTING TRADE. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether (in addition to the relief already granted and proposed to be given in the Stage Carriage, &c., Duties Bill) it was intended to relieve brewers and others (as well as their sureties) from the lien of the Crown on their real estates for duties due and payable, or not due, but in course of becoming due in the ordinary course of business, before any actual default of the trader, or any suspicion of insolvency or embarrassment on his part, and to rely on the right of the Crown to issue extents whenever any danger was apprehended, and thus to enable traders to deal with their property without the trouble and delay of obtaining consent of the Crown ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was understood to say that the brewers required no relief, and that with regard to the maltsters, certain indul gences granted to them precluded the possibility of the change alluded to by the hon. member. THE MALLAGHEA AFFAIR. Lord PALMERSTON laid on the table papers from Sierra Leone connected with this affair. SIR J. MACNEILL'S MISSION TO THE CRIMEA. Lord HOTHAM asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether Sir John Macneill and Colonel Tullech, sent as commissioners to inquire into certain matters connected with the army in the Crimea had returned to this country ; whether they had made their report ; and whether their report, whenever made, would be laid be fore the house ? _ _ _ Lord PALMERSTON said that the mission alluded to by the noble lord had been entirely confidential, and the report of the commissioners of the same nature. The commissioners had performed their duty entirely to the satisfaction of the Government, and efficacious regu lations in the public service had arisen from their report, but it would not be for the bene'fit of the public service that that report should be published. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. LOCKE inquired if Sir Charles Eastlake had been appointed to the directorship of the National Gal lery, the date of the appointment, and the salry agreed to be paid to him ? Mr. J. WILSON said that some months since Sir C. Eastlake had been nominated by Lord Aberdeen, and the appointment had been ratified under the present Go vernment. Tomorrow morning the Treasury minute would be distributed to members showing the arrange ments that had been made for the National Gallery, and the appointment of Sir C. Eastlake. PALACE OF WESTMINSTER. Mr. GREGSON inquired of the Secretary of the Trea sury when the plans and estimates, &c., relating to the New Palace of Westminster (ordered to be printed on the 21st day of June last) would be delivered into the hands of the member s ? _ _ Mr. J. WILSON—On Monday nest. • CORPORAL QUIN. Mr. F. FRENCH called attention to the case of Cor poral Quin, recorded as having distinguished himself in the battle of the Quarries, of the 25th of June. The late Lord Raglan had noticed Corporal Quin in his order of the day, but since the appointment of his lordship's suc cessor no further step had been taken in the case. He (Mr. French) ventured to ask whether it was likely that any special mark of her Majesty's favour would be ex tended to Corporal Quin ? Lord PALMERSTON said that in common with others he was aware of the distinguished services of Corporal Quin, but was not in a condition to give the hon. mem ber any further information on the subject, the hon. member having given him notice of his question only two hours before. ITALIAN LEGION. Lord GODERICH said that within the last few days it had been stated in the papers that it was the inten tion of the Government to form an Italian Legion. He wished to know if the statement was true ? Mr. PEEL said that at first it was not intended to enrol Italians, but that now it was intended to accept them in the foreign legion. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BILL. In answer to Lord G. MANNERS, Lord PALMERSTON promised to state, on Thurs. day, what were the intentions of Government with re spect to the above bill. ult.

Mr. MALINS called attention to the case of the two senior subalterns of the Connaught Rangers, who, in consequence of not having served the two years required by the regulations were not eligible for the vacancy caused in the regiment at the Battle of the Quarries, when their captain and one lieutenant of that regiment were killed. One of the subalterns so situated was Lieut. Pearson, who had much distinguished himself, and bad d frequently been mentioned in the despatches, ?a at the been strongly recommended for promotion C olonelby ya Shirley. He begged to ask whether, looking mwaidthe special circumstances of these cases, there was a n y in tention of relaxing the rule ? Lord PALMERSTON put it to d of thepubli meantc the on. member and Parliament, that service er consistent with the tango of he s hould be asked what Go vernm ent .tioia (Hear, hear.) He did not regard to military promotion.? mean to say that if an objee ta k e no ti ce compe tent to notice of it, but to b e p r o the house was not ask what were the intentions o f Government beforehand wag, in his opinion, contrary to usage. rE[ „ ‘ ear.) Mr. MALINS was quite satis fied with the noble lord's answer. (A. laugh.) Ho had me re l y w i s h e d t o ca ll attention to the subject. THE PROROGATION. Lord PALMERSTON said he wished to call the at tention o f the house to the stat e o f th e business b e f ore it, and to make a proposal founded on this state of things. (Hear, hear.) There were reasons, to which he need not now particularly allude, that made it very de -511-able that the session should be closed somewhere about the 14th or 15th August. (Hear.) The house would understand the ground on which it was desirable. (Hear.) 1 There were many votes in supply to be disposed of, and it was hard to say bow long the discussion on these vo might last. Many gentlemen had given notices of m tion on going into committee, and one day this wee would be employed in the discussion of a motio which had been forced on the Government. Under these circumstances, he should propose to the house to follow the course of former sessions, and resolve that orders of the day should have precedence on Tues day. There were one or two notices of importance, but they were merely for the purpose of affirming resolutions, and one was for a committee, that could not of course sit this year. He would submit to the gentleman who had the charge of these motions whether they could not be moved after supply, when their discussion would not affect the duration of the session, whereas it was known that every day supply lasted beyond a certain period would proportionately defer the prorogation. For these reasons he should propose that from to-morrow (this day) inclusive orders of the day should have precedence of notices. Lord J. MANNERS said that he had received a do cument, in common, he believed, with many hon. mem bers, requesting him to be in his place to-morrow, when an important motion would be brought on by the hen. and gallant member for Bath. It now appeared that some arrangement had been made between the hon. and gallant gentlemen and the Government, by which supply was to be substituted. Mr. HAYTER had intimated to the bon. and gallant member for Bath, and other hon. members who had no tices on the paper for to-morrow, that the motion for giving orders of the day precedence on Tuesday would be made. Mr. W. WILLIAMS urged that hon. members should allow the committee of supply to be proceeded with at once, in order that as much progress might be made as possible. (Hear, hear.) Colonel DUNNE and Sir F. BARING, who had given notice of amendments ongoing into supply, consented to waive them on the understanding that an opportunity would be afforded for bringing them on at some future time. In reply to a question from Mr. OTwAY, Mr. V. SMITH said if all the estimates should have been voted by that time he would bring forward the In dian Budget on Tuesday (this day) week. THE DECORATION OF THE BATH FOR NAVAL SERVICES. Admiral WALCOTT, who refused to accede lo the appeal made by Lord Palmerston, moved, pursuant to notice, as an amendment to the motion for going into committee of supply, for a committee of a minute by the Board of Admiralty, of July 2, 1846, relating to the opi nion of the board as to the claims of certain officers to be recommended to the gracious consideration of her Majesty for the honour of the Bath, who had highly dis tinguished themselves in action against pirates." He observed that he brought forward the case in justice to a number of brother officers, who with himself, he con sidered, bad been most hardly treated. The circum stances were these : Certain officers had been recom mended by an Admiralty minute to be brought under the consideration of their Sovereign for the honour of the Bath, as a reward for distinguished services, but the benefit of that recommendation had been withheld from them on the ground that their services had not been ga zetted, although it was not at that time the practice to notice such services in the Gazette. In his own case, the late King William IV., when Lord High Admiral, gave his opinion of the value of the service rendered, and of the hardship of the regulation which prevented those services being gazetted in the first instance, and after wards of such non-gazetting being made the pretext of refusing to those by whom they had been performed the honours which they bad earned, and to which they had been recommended. In 1845, a brother officer of his performed a service as merito rious as that for which he and those who had been en gaged with him in the expedition claimed. The impor tance of that service was admitted by the Board of Ad miralty, and the officers engaged in it were recommended for the companionship of the Bath ; but it was urged that the services bad not been gazetted, and that the number of honours allotted to the navy, viz., 100, was full. His object was that the minute in which the ser vices in question were admitted should be produced, so that at least the friends of those by whom they had been performed might have the satisfaction of knowing that they bad been publicly recognised. In conclnsion, he expressed the dissatisfaction of the naval profession at the decisions of the naval lords being overruled by a first lord, who was a civilian. Capt. SCOBELL seconded the motion, and in doing so took occasion to complain of the arrangement by which, without being consulted, he had been deprived of the opportunity of bringing forward his motion on the subject of naval government, which stood first on the paper for to-morrow. With regard to the motion under consideration he hoped it would be successful. The lion. and gallant officer opposite and three others bad been recommended by his late Majesty while at the head the Admiralty for the honour of the Bath, and the Th e -ctation bad been held out since by the Admiralty. b een use ought to know why that expectation A had not tial to t see' In the matter of p romo ti on it was essen- "le" yof the service th a t th e utmost fair was necessa ness shou tained ; but if purity of •le more so was it maintained more matter of promotion how rinp much el r .l t s ,, ar a y t i h n at re t g h a e r o d rd to er t o h f e rn d e is r t it ri p b r u o t m io i n se o d f Mr. HAS said ad distinctly stated to the hon, and gallant officer, in ence of the hon. member before Christmas lie reg had for Pomfret, that the motion et been distributed. ordersive preceden ce on T ues day would be e that a t of evening.the day Sir G. PECHELL spoke in sup. of the amend ment, and of the claims of the nav: added that w h en th e h on . an d gallant orofession, but . had been as long in the house as he had, he v-r opposite d cease to be surprised at the manner in which those x d a li nn wore neglected. Sir C. WOOD observed that if there was any obj ‘et in the hon. and gallant offi cer ' s mo ti on , i t was t o forc e upon the Admiralty, or upon himself as First Lord, to recommend to her Majesty to grant the honour of the companionship of the Bath to himself and to certain other naval officers. Now he submitted that, inasmuch as the Sovereign was the fountain of all honour, this was a matter entirely within the province of the Crown. with which that house had no right to interfere. HiS noble friend had urged very properly that it would be unconstitutional for that house to interfere and to dic tate to the Government in reference to the promotion of officers, but hoW much more would the house be ex ceeding its constitutional functions if it interfered with that which was essentially the privilege of the crown ? He concurred with the honourable and gal lant officer behind him (Capt. Scobell) that the grant of honours should be as pure as possible. (Hear, hear.) But •did the house think that the interference of mem bers of Parliament, either individually or collectively, could conduce to that purity I His hon. and gallant friend said that the hon. and gallant admiral, and three other officers, had been recommended by King William IV., when Lord High Admiral, for these honours, on account of certain gallant services. Now the house would be astonished to find that the services referred to were performed subsequent to the death of King William V. King William died in 1837, and the first of these ser vices performed—except that of the hon. and gallant ad miral—was performed in 1839. Captain SCOBELL had said that William IV., when Lord High Admiral, had held out the expectation that the services of the hon. and gallant admiral would be re warded with the honour of the Bath, and that subse quent Boards of Admiralty, in confirming that expecta tion, included two or three other officers who had per "ormed other services of a like character. Sir C. WOOD proceeded to contend that the house ought not to interfere to compel him to make the recom mendation to the crown. The hon. and gallant admiral wished him to produce the Admiralty minute to the house. He did not underrate the importance of the service of the hon. and gallant admiral for which he claimed. That service, which undoubtedly exhibited great gallantry, was, he believed, performed so far back as the year 1823, and consisted of an attack upon cer tain Cuban pirates, twelve of whom were killed, a large number wounded, and several others taken and hanged. But the Admiralty at the time did not think that service deserving of the honour which the hon. and gallant officer coveted, and it was hardly to be expected that after so great a lapse of time the decision of the authorities who were in office when the service was per formed, and who were the best judges of the reward which it deserved, should be reviewed. It was true that when King William IV. was Lord High Admiral, ho recommended the hon. and gallant officer to the Secretary of State for the honour of the Bath, but the Secretary of State of that day did not think it right to recommend an increase in the number of naval officers eligible to the companionship of the Bath, in order to extend that honour to the hon. and gallant officer. A subsequent recommendation was made to another Board of Admiralty in favour of the gallant otion alluded was made, it c r a e s c e em w m as en o d n a e tio i n n ty w when Lord Ellenborough was admiral, but the Admiralty did not think fit to comply with that recommendation. The minute to Which the h w o a n s . t a ru n e d , g b a y ll t a h n e t d ffi a ce ir r a 's, of fact, u gl l the t h e which the honour of the Bath ought to be given, they First Lord, but l i n f ought to have made their recommendation to the Secre tary of State. t point t o h until Sir R. Peel's was not made If the A d m iralty of that day had really intended it to have effect they would not have waited until they were go i ng out of office • But by the statut es o f th e O r d er o f the Bath it was impossible that the hon. and gallant officer could be recommended for the honour for the ser vices in question, inasmuch as under those statutes it was absolutelynecessary that the services should be gazetted. When theywere performed it was not considered that they were of that character which deserved to be so noticed, and it was therefore not in his . power to give the recommen dation required. He trusted also that, under the cir cumstances, the house would not think it necessary that the minute should be produced. Admiral WALCOTT could show that he was recom mended by his commander-in-chief for the honour, and that Lord Melville and the Lords of the Admiralty of that time thought him deserving of it. The hon. and gallant gentleman was proceeding with some remarks, when he was met by cries of " Order" and " Chair." The SPEAKER said that the hon. member was not, by the rules of the house, entitled to a reply. Admiral WALCOTT said he was sorry for it. (" Hear," and laughter.) Lord J. MANNERS having made an explanation with regard to the arrangement for bringing on the motion for giving orders of the day precedence on Tuesday, pro ceeded to urge that Admiral Walcott only sought to have the minute for which he moved granted, in order that there might be a record of his having had an ac knowledgment of his services, and that they were thought worthy of the honour of the Bath. After a few words from Captain ScoBELL, Sir DE L. EVANS said that he believed that although according to the statutes of the Order of the Bath an officer could not receive its honours under a certain rank,. .~.~■■i 25 St. 20 St. 8Z 28 20 20 10 10 St. 10 St. 25 20 50 20 10 10 5 20 18 20 20 20 LOO 5 5 5 20 100 20i 100 20 100 100 100 20 50 50 100 100 20 50 20 25 f'zid.l 100 83 100 100 all all 100 100 all too all Ws.
