Now, that was the course which the Indian army adopted in 1793 and 1794. What was the state of that army in 1793 and '94 ? He meant as to the advantages they en joyed. They resisted the transfer to the Crown at a period when they did not enjoy any one of the advantages which had since been conceded to them. At the period ho had mentioned there were upwards of 1,500 English officers in the Company's service. Would not the house be astonished when ho told them that the highest rank to which those officers could attain was that of colonel ; that there were only 12 colonels, 23 lieuteniait=colonels, and 23 majors ; that there was no retiring pension, no privilege of furlough to Europe, none of the advantages which they now en joyed ? But yet, in spite of the position in which they were then placed, they resisted, as he had shown, the pro- posed amalgamation. (Hear.) Mr. Dundas, then Presi dent of the Board of Control, was not an advocate for the amalgamation. He proposed not amalgamation, but a trans fer to the Crown. However, Mr. Dundas and Lord Corn wallis both saw what his hon. friend had not seen—namely, the difficulties of the case. They both consulted—which his hon. friend, he feared, had not done—the wishes of the In dian army. They were practical men, and they abandoned the scheme, which until this moment had never since been deliberately revived. His hon. friend had alluded to Lord Grenville. .:ow, there was a very distinguished officer who took a part in these very discussions, and who, when he had attained a mature age, was again, in 1832, interrogated on the subject of amalgamation or transfer to the Crown. Tale was what Colonel Sherwood said in reply : " A period of nearly 37 years has now passed over since the Bengal, and indeed the whole of the Indian Artillery were informed that Lord Cornwallis had proposed to the home authorities to incorporate them with the Royal Artillery, and to relieve them regularly from Woolwich.' I have a lively, and I may say a painful, recollection of the sensation produced by this promulgation. The major part of the regiment was then at Dum-Dun, at their annual practice. A meeting was held upon the occasion, where the pror iition was looked u - 'th absolute he _ argument There was one part of the speech of the hon. gentleman in which he perfectly concurred—namely, that portion of his remarks which related to the injustice done to the eminent and distinguished officers of the Indian army. But while admiring the good feeling of the hon. gentleman on that point, he was rather surprised to find that his arguments completely supported the motion now under discussion. The hon. gentleman objected to the introduction of such a rnotien at this particular time. Now he (Sir de Lacy Evans) thought there could not be a more fittin g time than when the Government were looking for supportfrom all quarters. Ile hon. gentleman was anxious to preserve everything in [ndia in statu quo. Hon. members representing the Court of Directors had opposed every change, declaring that each one which had been proposed would subject the Indian em pire to ruin and perdition. Now, considerable alterations had been made in the Government of India within a very recent period. The honourable gentleman at that time predicted the most, serious results, but he still renaained a member of the distinguished body with which he had been so long connected, and had not pointed out any serious results from the steps then taken. There was another part of the hon. gentleman's argument which tended to support the present motion. The hon. gentleman had intimated that, under the company, the Indian army had shown a considerable propensity to mu tiny. That surely was an argument in favour of some change in the existing system. One of the causes of predis position to mutiny was the want of a supreme authority in thearmy. There had been mutinies amongst the officers as well as amongst the men, but if they were recognised as officers belonging to this vast empire they would not be so ready to throw off the bonds of authority. (Hear.) In sup• porting this motion he did not advocate any serious altera tion in the organisation of the native regiments, because ho considered their organisation essentially good. But, the Go vernment had formerly made use of the Indian army in re gions beyond those to which they were limited by enlistment, and in the present state of public affairs he thought it would be very desirable for a select committee to be appointed to investigate whether there should or should not be a change made with respect to the availableness of Indian officers, and especially of officers connected with the European part of the Indian force, for European and general imperial pur posas. He considered the proposition a perfectly reason able one under present circumstances. (Hear.) If it should he found that the authorities in India could give almost an assurance that no internal convulsion or foreign aggression was likely to take place for a consider a bl e p erio d, why should the Government be deprived by any technical or legal difficulties from employing some portion of the army, especially the European part of the arm- in the intore'- sty p ,e motion The house then divided, For the motion Against it Majority against the motion ---109 MR. LAYARD'S MOTION. Mr. LAYARD said—Before proceeding with the orders of the day, I wish to say a word or two in order that there may be a clear understanding with regard to my motion. I think the noble lord at the head of the Government mis understood my intentions when he stated that I was about to force my motion on the house on Monday next. I had certainly no such intention. When I requested the noble lord to give me a night, he declined, and said I must find one for myself, and I then intimated that I would bring my motion forward on going into Committee of Supp:y. I understand that on Monday night there will be an impor tant motion in another place, and perhaps it would be for the convenience of the house if my motion were postponed till a later day. (Cheers.) I think, therefore, I had bet ter avail myself of the kind permission given me by the noble lord the other night, and find a day for myself. (Laughter and sheers.) EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. CUMMING BRUCE said that, considering the late hour of the night (halt-past ten), and the short discussion which had been had on the bill, and that many gentlemen desired to have an opportunity of delivering their sentiments on the measure, he would object to go on with the debate, and he should, therefore, move that the Speaker do not leave the chair till some future day. (Peals of laughter.) As that would be an inconvenient motion, he should move that the debate be adjourned. Lord PALMERSTON hoped that the hon. gentleman would not persevere. This was a question of great im portance, and at that Lour the house generally began to till. He could not consent to the motion for adjournment, and he hoped the house would feel that it was trifling with a great question to pretend that at that hour of the night they were not capable of giving consideration to the bill. If hon. members would condense their speeches, all who wished to speak on this question would have ample time to do so that night. Mr. HADFIELD trusted that the house would adjourn the debate. There were six other bills down for discussion that night, so that the public time would not be lost by the postponement of the debate on this bill. After a few words from Mr. BLACKBURN, who con trasted the course taken by the Government with respect to a bill concerning the whole people of Scotland with that which they had pursued with respect to one merely affecting the local management of Oaf ee propos; upon wi, e absolute Aorror, as - . - iy, ..ae interne- 0 ea,. seeal managemea.

But, upon general of the East India Company's troops in the present European desire on the part of the people of Scotland that this bill principles, could it answer that the civil authority in India contest.

RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill to enable her Majesty to assent to a bill, as amended, of the Legislature of Victoria, "to establish a constitution in an for the colony of Victoria." Mr. LO WE was very curry to be obliged to trouble the house at that late hour with two or three observations, but the great importance of the question, and the novelty as well as the very undesirable nature of the course about to be adopted, must be his excuse for doing so. The noble lord gave notice of a bill to enable her Majesty to assent to an act of the Legislative Council of Victoria as that act had been amended. This was a very extraordinary motion. He would say nothing now of the bill, which could be dis cussed when it was before the house, but the form in wh - ch they were about to legislate was extremely objectionable, and he was the more inclined to oppose it because he saw, from a notice that had been given, what was intended to be adopted in the Council of New South Wales. In 1850 an act to the Legisl a tive Coun c il s o f th e Australian was passed, aliancolonies giin p l ow g er to frame new constitutions for themselves. Under that statute the Legislative Council of Victoria had passed an act, the preamble of which recited that power had been given it to do so by the statute of 1850; but then the acts passed by the Legislative Council overleapt and transcended the powers contained in the act of 1850, presuming to repeal numerous Imperial statutes, and also to invest the Council with a great many powers which it did not now possess, and which nothing but au act of Parliament could confer upon it, while it likewise in many respects altered the relation of the Legislative Coun cil to the Imperial Legislature. This act the Legislative Council of Victoria had no more authority to pass than had any small knot of persons assembling together in a room in the colony and calling themselves a public meeting. The Legislative Council, however, took it upon itself to pass this act, reciting the limited powers given to it by , Parliament; and then, being conscious that it had exceeded those powers, it sent home, together with thi s bill, a s h or t act, which it suggested that Parliament should pass, in order to legalise what it had done. Now, it would be most inconvenient, as well as not very creditable, for the British (Parliament to accede to such a request, while it would also be most inexpedient as au example to the other colonies. Certain limited powers having been granted to the Legislative Council, it ought to have con fined itself strictly within its authority; and whatever was wanted beyond those constitution powers should take the form of a gift and concession from the Imperial Par liament to the colony, instead of the colony taking it in a shape that was illegal and void, and then sending its act home, accompanied by another short act, asking Parlia ment to confirm and ratify its irregularity. If this mo tion had been for a bill to assent to the act of the Legisla tive Council of Victoria, the course pursued by the Go vernment would have been sufficiently objectionable—but it was more objectionable still, because it was not merely a bill to enable her Majesty to grant her consent, but really a bill to enable the Legislative Council to pass that which it had set up, though utterly void of law. The house was therefore asked, in fact, to give validity to a law which the Legislative Council had no authority to make, and which her Majesty had no power to agree to. The smatter, however, did not stop there. The Legislative Council of Victoria, having passed an act which it had no power to pass, and then sent it home to b e ma d e va lid , the noble lord did not approve of certain portions of this colonial act, and thought it not advisable to adopt them ; and, therefore, he had amended the colonial act by strik ing out those objectionable portions of it and inserting others in their place ; and then he asked Parliament to pass an act to enable her Majesty to assent, not to the bill which the Colonial Legislature had adopted, but another bill which the noble lord had devised. A bill when thus altered was no longer the same measure, but must be re garded as an entirely now one, and therefore the bill now proposed to be legalised could not be consid ere d as th e bill that was passed by the Legislative Council of Victoria. As the noble lord had amended this bill, he presumed that the House of Commons could also amend it. (Hear.) If not, the simple effect would be to deprive the house of the power of amending an act of its own, because the act would be as much the act of this house as if it had never passed the Legislature of Victoria, that Legislature never having bad power to pass it. They were, th ere f ore, involv ing themselves in a mess of inextricable confusion, diffi culty, and anomaly, and they were placing the house in a situation in which it ought not to be placed—namely, in the situation of submitting to the dictation of a colonial as sembly as to what laws it should pass. Ho objected, therefore, entirely to the course which the noble lord pro posed to pursue, but he would suggest two courses, either of which would be free from any objection in principle. The noble lord might stand upon the act of 1850, and say to the Legislative Council of Victoria, " You have ex ceeded your powers ; you have done that which you had no right to do, and I therefore send back the act, in order that you may amend it." But, as the case was said to be ono of emergency, the noble lord might also introduce a bill vesting in the Governor. General of the Australiou co lonies power to assent to the act so amended at once in the name of her Majesty. That bill might also be coupled with another making such concessions to the Colonial Le gislature as the Legislature had assumed to itself without the authority of Parliament, and giving to it the land fund, and anything else which the noble lord thought it ought to have. The other course would be to do in effect what they now asked to do in substance—namely, to sweep away the machinery of enabling her Majesty to assent to a bill which the Colonial Legislature had never passed, and to legislate directly on the subject. (Hear, hear.) If the noble lord thought the house ought to make a constitution for the colony let them do it—(hear)—but let them have the question brought fairly before them, so that they might know what they were about. He protested against the plan of passing an act to enable her Majesty to assent, not to an act that had been passed by the Legislature of Victoria, but to another and a different act, which, even had it been passed by that Legislature, had been passed by it ultra vires. (Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL did not think that either of the courses proposed by the hon. gentleman would be prefer able to that which the Government desired to adopt. The hon. gentleman was mistaken in supposing that it was pro posed to insert in this act provisions which the Legislature of Victoria had not sanctiened, but the hon. gentleman was quite correct in stating that the enactments of the Legislature of Victoria were ultra vires, that t hey interfered with certain imperial acts, and that they touched upon matters which were strictly within the province of her Majesty and Parliament. He proposed, therefore, to take generally the act of the Legislature of Victoria as far as concerned its own constitution, but to omit certain propo sals which would limit the power vested in the Crown of disallowing the acts passed by the colonies. The bill, therefore, although it would certainly not contain all that the Legislature of Victoria had proposed, would not con tain anything to which it had not given its assent, and thus, in his opinion, would be within the powers given by Parliament to the Australian colonies to form constitutions for themselves. It must be recollected that both of these constitutions arrived in this country during the last is cess. If they had been sent back they could not have ar rived in time to give validity to these acts in the course of this session. The hon. gentleman said they would getinto inextricable confusion, because a similar course would be pursued with regard to othercolonies. With regard to New South Wales, it was quite true a similar course would be adopted, but the constitution proposed by the Legislative Council of New South Wales differed in some important respects from that proposed for Victoria. In Victoria, for instance, it was propos e d th at t h e Leg i slative Counc il should be elected, in New South Wales, that the Le,,eisla ' tire Council should be nominated by the Crown. With re gard to the Legislative Conseil, the Government thought it right that the wishes of the colony shoald he consulted, but when the act was passed with regard to Victoria and with re gard to New South Wales he did not apprehend there would be any difficulty about the other colonies. With regard to Van Diemen's Land, they had already a constitution which was strictly within the powers given by the act of 185 D, and that constitution having been laid before the two Houses of Parliament, had already been confirmed and approved by her Majesty in Council. With respect to South Australia, the constitution was agreed to, but . the Council afterwards had severa l d i scuss i ons an d divisions, the result of which was a desire to indulge the Legislative Council in their wish to have it referred back to them; and, accordingly, the matter was referred back, with discretion to the Governor to propose to the colony, whether elective or nominative, a Council in such a form that he might be able to. consent without further reference to Parliament. But he thought it inconvenient to send this proposal to Victoria and New South Wales to bo re-discussed, when it appeared their mind upon the subject was not changed. He should be quite ready, in discussing these several bills, to point out in what way he thought they ought to peas. As the hon. gentleman said the schedules would be open to discussion, and if hon. members should think parts of those schedules ought to be omitted, it was in the power of Parliament to alter them, though, of course, it was a matter of discretion whether they would do so. With re spect to general legislation on this subject, he would say, a great desire was expressed in Australia that the manage ment of the waste lands, and the revenues arising from them, should be at the deposition of the Colonial Govern ment. It was a matter upon which the Australian colo nies set great value, and it would bo most convenient if a bill for that purpose were carried into effect. Mr. G. BUTT suggested that leave should be given to bring in this bill now, but that further time should be taken by the noble lord for re-considering the question. After a few words from Mr. ADDERLEY and Mr. J. BALL, leave was given to bring in the bill. On the ' no ti on of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, leave was given t o b r i ng in a bill to continue an act of 13 and 14 Victoria, t o ena b le the judges of the courts of common bWesstwmeirnesbterroutgohatltienr and de rears f)rrn forms of pleading. st time, and the lawat ill The house adjourned at half-past one o'clock. Admiral Dundas examined by Mr. Drummond. — Mr. Drummond was about to put a question to the gallant admiral, whether he did not suggest to Lord Stratford, i❑ order to obtain information respecting the state of Sebastopol, that as two Russian ships were being repaired in Portsmouth harbour, and he bad a ship with a hole in her bottom, he had better send her into Sebastopol to be repaired, when the room was cleared and the question ultimately withdrawn. The gallant admiral in the course of his examination said he took every step possible to obtain correct infor mation as to the forces in Sebastopol and the fleet, but with little success, which he attributed to the vigilance of the Russians to prevent it. Before the declaration of the war he was under the ambassador's orders, and after that under instructions from the Admiralty. He never heard.of Mr Yeames offering to procure a complete plan of the fortifications of Sebastopol. With reference to the embarkation of troops from Varna, he conveyed all he could with the transports he had at command, and he was satisfied with the arrangements for that purpose made by Admiral Boxer. It was impossible for him to protect the Crimea by the prevention of troops entering it by way of Perekop in consequence of the shallowness of the water, and had there been water he would have required troops to assist him. With reference to a state ment of the Duke of Newcastle, that he had not taken sufficient steps to be acquainted with the state of the enemy's strength, he read a letter he addressed to Lord Raglan in May, 1854, wherein he stated Sebastopol was a second Gibraltar. Many new, batteries he could see erecting, and the Russians were strengthening the land side—that he had been informed there were 120 000 men in the Crimea and from 14 to 16 sail of the line in the harbour with their sails bent, and that he expected when they attacked Odessa the Russians would have come out to draw them off from attacking the place. The gallant admiral wished to read a private corre spondence between himself and Sir James Graham with reference to this point, since a member of the late Go vernment had asserted he forwarded home wrong infor mation, but the committee objected. His examination was then continued, in the course of which he stated that Marshal St. Arnaud asked him and the French admiral if the fleets could take Sebastopol, and they said no. He did not think it was possible, from the time of the rais ing the siege of Silistria to the embarking of the troops for the Crimea, to have procured a sufficient number of transports for the service. Many horses were left be hind at Varna, and he believed they were there now, because the transports with the ammunition, &c., could not be unloaded for a fortnight (until they got into Baia klava harbour). All the screw ships were stationed near Balaklava, and the squadron near Eupatoria. It was never supposed the troops would have wintered in the Crimea, because it was expected they would have been in Sebastopol in a week. He was once in Balaklava harbour, and thought it small, and there were vessels enough in the harbour at the time of the loss of the Prince ; the arrangements for the harbour he left to Admiral Boxer. He could not have trans ported the troops easier from Conetantinople than from Varna. He did not consider himself answerable for the transport service, that being left to Lord Raglan, Admi ral Boxer, and Captain Christie. He considered "Boxer a very useful fellow, but not very polished"— (laughter)—and ho never had any occasion to represent his conduct to Lord Raglan. The first intimation he had to fit up hospital ships was from Sir James Graham, but they were not fitted up properly for the large num ber of sick and wounded brought on board, the number being larger than they had ever anticipated. If snore had been fitted up there would have been a deficiency of ships for horses and baggage. His fleet was well-man ned, but be had not i a, sufficiency of assistant-surgeons. He was able to procure plenty of fresh meat, though not of the best quality. The gallant Admiral's evidence was then closed, and probably much shortened from many of the questions put to him, but which were not answered, involving reference to the demands made on the French for assist ance. The room was again cleared, and, after deliberating half-an-hour, the committee adjourned at half-past three. ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS. NAPLES, May 2.—Everything in Naples is for the present extinguished by one great fact—the eruption of Vesuvius. King, Ministers, and policemen, in their several spheres, are all scorched and shrivelled up into nothingness. We have been expecting and longing for it for some time. The wells at Resina had been dried up. More than once since 1850, the mountain has thundered and smoked, and in the beginning of the year a portion of the crater fell in. Great numbers of strangers have, therefore, waited till very lat 4 in the season, in the hope of seeing this extraordinary spec tacle, and have just taken their leave, when the moun tain, as in " dispetto," breaks out. The principal guide, who is called Cozzalino, reported on the morning of the Ist May that he had just ascended the mountain, and that on arriving at the summit there were a thousand reports as of cannon, and then was thrown up a discharge of red-hot stones. The rain and mist, and smoke, however, all mingling together, prevented a near approach or nearer observation, and we are, there fore, for the present, left to our unaided observations. During the whole of yesterday nothing was to be seen but smoke and cloud, which enveloped not only the mountain but the whole coast, and then swept away in immense volumes towards Capri. As evening came on the heavens were in a bright glow, and the whole popu lation flocked down to the mole of Santa Lucia, to see the magnificent spectacle. The mountain was indis guishable ; nothing was to be seen but clouds, smoke, and fire. Up to the very zenith the sky was . covered with large bulbous clouds, black as ink, and fringed with white ; underneath, and half-way down the mountain, everything was on fire, whilst right in the centre of it shot up a cone of black smoke. Still lower again, dark clouds covered the base of the mountain, having, too, as their centre-piece and contrast the river of lava which is running down towards Resina. During the whole of last night there was a perfect procession of carriages tow ar d s R es i na. I contented myse lf with remaining here for the first view, but probably shall go over to-night, and will send you farther details by Saturday's boat. The scene was rendered still grander by an eclipse of the moon, which took place about two hours and a half after midnight. A report is circulated that his Majesty was shot at on the last day of the late review at Capu. It is said that the ball passed near enough to be heard. The fact I doubt. What is certain is, that the king immediately after broke up the camp. For a punishment the whole regiment was sent back to Naples on foot, instead of returning, as usual, by railway. On Monday last a large Piedmontese steam-frigate, laden with troops, came nearly into port, and after making the round of the shore went off again. The Sardinian colours were flying, and the band was playing the national air. General Marrnora was, it is added, on board. There was nn communication with the shore. This demonstra tion is the more remarkable at the present moment when the Consul-General of Naples at Genoa has just been deprived of his " exequatur," and the Corriere Mer cantile speaks of the conduct of the Consul as declar ing the two countries to be in a state of war.

A HARD SKULL.—In the Callao (Peru) News of Feb. 10, we read as follows :—The approaching carnival sea. son promises to be rich, rare, and racy in its character. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that a butting match is in contemplation between the steward of the Wild Pigeon and a ram celebrated for his strength and courage. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the challenging party is a coloured man. Some idea of the strength of his skull may be formed from the fact of his having, a day or two since, butted in the head of a p or t er cas k , upon which a heavy hammer would make no impression. the French From a n Government official report, w , h ircel relative t has ive tbeeno theju s c t lus r t e i vcoaefitvi theoer by of tob acco i n Al geria, it appears th a t th e results colony,seasonex e ee d e ofd and those 18 t 5 h 4 and Constantina have acquired considerable extension.
