ri "'iamow THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 27, 1855, stores; of another vessel, to the owner of which 2,000 f. was paid before she went to sea ; and of the steamer Tele graph, which was overladed to such an extent as to drain eleven instead of nine feet of water, in consequence di which she was so much injured as to be unable to proceed on her voyage. These things could not have happened had the transport service been entrusted to ono man, such es Captain Milne ; but the formation of a board would afford no security against their recurrence. Admiral BERKELEY said that to the statement madb by the hon. member for Tynemouth (Mr. W. S. Lindsay), that the vessels employed in the transport service were en gaged in serving only 24,000 men—those vessels were err(- ployed in the service not only of the Englsh, but also of the French and Turkish armies, so that, instead of having to serve only 24,000, they had to attend ulion almost 100,000 men. Hon. gentlemen had praised the management of his colleague, Captain Milne, but had at the same time endeavoured to point out egregious blunders. He (Admirl Berkeley) should like to share the praise accorded to the gallant captain, and would willingly share the responsi bility of the blunders he might have committed. Mr. MUNTZ said that &rout three years ago an officer was sent to inquire into the administration of the French army. He inquired and reported, and from that time to this his report had been lying in the War-office without any notice having been taken of it. Mr. F. PEEL did not know that ho could add anything to the information he had already given on the subject of the formation of a land-transport , corps. Hitherto the land. transport service had been undertaken by the Commis. sariat ; bat as it was found to interfere with the satisfac tory discharge of the proper duties of that department, it had been determined to organise a distinct corps under the direction of Colonel M`Murcloch, whose duty it should be to undertake the land transport. It was estimated that ultimately this corps would number 8,000 men, but at first of coarse it would not be so strong. He believed that it was proposed to divide the corps into - divisions correspond ing and attached to those of the army—(hear)—and Col. M'Murdoch had intimated that he should require one na tive driver for every three animals, and one Enropean for every three native drivers, making three natives and one. European driver for every ten animals. It was intended , that this transport corps should form a permanent branch of the army, and it would no doubt, in course of time, un dergo many improvements. Hitherto the persons whehad beeu responsible for the clothing of the troops had been' the colonels of regiments. They had now, however, ceased to have any interest in the matter, and henceforward the clothes would be distributed under the direction of the, War.office. The exteterdinary clothing supplied to tho army in tho field had been supplied by the Ordnance, under orders from the Secretary for War, and would, be included in the estimates for that department. He was not aware that there had , been any deficiency in the supply of medicine to the hospital at Balaklava, and in relation to the -alleged deficiency in the sup ply of quinine, he might state that Dr. Smith -had informed him that since the army left this country, he •had .forwarded to the general store at Constan tinople, frcim which all the hospitals are supplied, 850 lbs. of that drug. With reference to the recommendations which had been made by two honourable members, that we should learn from the French a better system of army administration, he might state that there are now sitting in Paris a commission of three officers of the army, an artillery and an engineer officer, which was inquiring into the system adopted in that country. The French Govern ment was affording to these offi cers every f ac ili ty f or be coming acquaieted with their. system. Their report might be expected before long, and its recommendation would receive the careful a tt en tion of the Government. Mr. E. DENISON said when the army went from this country to the East it was little contemplated that such services would be cast upon it as it had since been called on to perforin. Some thought the army would never go beyond Malta, and others believed that an intrenched camp at Cons t antinople would be all that would be re• quired ; but no one then dreamed that an expedition to the Crimea would be undertaken. Ho was happy to see thates precedent had been set to whichhe wonld invitethe attention of the house for a moment. He observed that an officer of high character and standing—Sir John Bur goyin2—hed been—he would not say recalled, but— relieved from the position in which he was placed, and that just encomiums had been passed upon that distin guished officer. He (Mr. E. Denison) hoped that would go fnrther. In making that remark he wished it to be understood that he did not indirectly point to the dis tinguished officer in command 'of the army. That, he thought, was a different question, and the position of that officer must be decided by more important considera tions. He would merely say that just in proportion as the officer in command of the army was advanced in life was it necessary that the officers below him should be in full vigour and officienc7. He contended that it• was in the highest degree desirable that - generals of divisions and generals of brigade should be men in tho full vigour -and power of their strength.. (Hear.) Colonel DUNNE said he considered the fOrmation of a transport corps end of the most necessary arrangements connected with an army, but he wanted to know why such a corps was not organised when the army wont out on the -present expedition? He believed that the loss of the army watt chiefly attributable to the state of the transport de partment of the commissariat, or rather to the Treasury, by, which the commissariat was directed. If the transport department was not at once made perfect, it would be' wholly, useless to the army. He believed that the general , officers had not the means of carrying on the war with proper effect. He believed Sir John Burgoyne to be as .efficient an officer as any that had been, or could be, sent to succeed him, and that the country would not gain any thing by sending out General Jones to relieve him. He Contended that the great fault of the expedition was its being undertaken without proper means. One, among other things, he should like to know, and that was, hew many of the officers of the staff had been edu cated at the Military College of Saildhurst ? He had like-, wise to complain of the disproportion of the rewards for good service given to the officers of the staff as com pared with those given to the officers of the liue. He thought the staff was sufficiently desirable in itself, and brought officers sufficiently into notice, without giving them additional opportunities of advancement over the offi cers of the line. There was another point to which he wished to'call attention, and that was tho subject of bar racks for the militia regiments in Ireland. At that mo ment they were paying in most towns in Ireland for billets for the militiamen, and frequent quarrels arose between the militia and the inhabitants from attempts to enforce these billets; yet in the very towns in which those die- , - turbances arose there were buildings which could be hired as barracks, and at a witch cheaper cost than the system of billeting. Mr. CIARDINGE said he deemed it fair to state, inas much as the Government had been more than once attacked in reference to the military education of the officers of the; staff, that at least nine or ten of them had been educated at Sandhurst, and had there received certificates of merit.! Mr. J. PHILLIMORE said he wanted to know why, it: was that the 46th Regiment was with Out wintor clothin in the Crimea ;' if any person had been punished in conse quence of the neglect to provide such clothing ; and if, i consequence of that neglect, the men of that regimen perished in the most fearful manner? Mr. WILLIAMS, in answer to the taunts which had bee r directed out of doors, and in that house, against his hot friend recently deceased—the member for Montrose—anl himself, for reducing our armaments, begged to remind tb house that in 1835 the army and navy numbered 145,84 men, and that in 1852, before there was any sign of a dis pute, with Russia, the two services had been increase to 272,000 men, or double the number which the Duke o Wellington when in. office deemed necessary for the de fence of the country. In 1835 the total sum voted fertile maintenance of the army and navy was 11,667,0001. and in 1852 it was 16,500,0001., being an increase of nearly 5,000,0001. He wished to call the attention of the house to a case of floggingin the army, which had recently taken place at - Newcastle'-upon-Tyne, on the person of a private soldier belonging to the 25th Regiment, *now stationed there. A paragraph in a Newcastle newspaper stated that the:prisoner, after being stripped, was tied u p t o thil triangles by the arias and legs, and the adjutant stood by' to count (tch stroke as it fell from the powerful arm of drummer, selected for his aptitude for beating slow timer * The narrator went on to say he had expected a bloody scone, brit the reality far exceeded all that he had heard of dreamt of human torture. At the fifth stroke of the lash the flesh of the poor victim rose up in welts a$ thickie his wrist ;. the blood afterwards flowed about the body ; .and after the fortieth lash had been inflicted, he was untied-; he then staggered a few paces, fell to th 6 groand, and fainted away. He was afterwards subjeetect to 104 days' solitary confinement. He (Mr. Williams) could only say, ifesuoh scenes as those were practised id the army, the Go;ernment would have to double its bounty in order to get men to enter it. . MED trusted the Government would turn their attention to the reform of the Horse Guards ; and if that reforin eves accomplished, he believed the country would not object to even a larger demand than was now asked for the maintenance of the army. Mre'OTWAY said there were at least fifty staff appoint ments in the Crimea, and his complaint was that ther e should be a single one of ,those • officers who had not oh _ taiaed a certificate at Sandhurst, seeing that that colleg was established with the view of educating men for. th staff. The n4lele lord at the head of the Governmen stated the other night that the calamities of the army were attributable to the in _ clemency of the - weather and the unr paralleled difficulty of the service they had to perform: He (Mr. Otetray) must take exception to that statement, Ile would take the campaign, for instance, in Transylvanie in 1848; which was conducted under circumstances very much more difficult than those" in the Crimea at preeent; - and in a climate very much more rigorous. It wa clear to him that the calamities that had befallen ou . army were in no wise to be attributed to• the .ell'inat of the Crhuea, nor to the unparalleled, difficulties wittl 'Which they had hact,to contend, but t o th e wan t of !orsresight of those Who had not supplied th em w ith 1417:wens f or e n a bling them to gr a ppl e w i t h t h ose huts v;ielt.

Colonel NORTH said it wa s all relating ptaragraps to member for Lambeth (Mr. Williams) to the house, cut from local newspapers, but ho would ask tLohoinataner of floggine in the army ; his own knowledge that then.cruasee her if he b kneW to' which he had called attentionwas a t d rup , s (Hear ) Advert , ing tp the observations which h (Colonel Neourthir th e h oe.. member a few nights ago, he of the had to deny that the Guards now wore uniforms colour thatscarcely brick e " dnet. He (Colonel North) admittedfl than to see the sentries an thin could bo more truly pain those young men of the Guards at this moment ; but give they would soon time and the advantages of drill, and emulate the bearing of their gallant brethren in the Cri hood of England naea--thoeo splendid specimens of the man whom we were wont to meet in the streets o f this metro polis. (Hear.) The hon. member had spoken of the pri vileges of the Guards in attendance at the Palace. Why, if the hon. member were at the head of a battalion of sweeps on duty there, he would receive his dinner. (A laugh.) The hon. member bad displayed an amount of ignorance on the subject upon which he had spoken which would dis grace the meat ignorant lance corporal in the regiment, and he would advise him, before he again addressed the house, to make himself better acquainted with the real facts upon which he was desirous to enlighten the house. Colonel SIBTHORP protested against men speaking on the subject of the army who did not know the muzzle from the butt end of a musket. (A laugh.) He would not take the Loh. member for Lambeth in his awkward squad. (A Japeje s l dfl)tMthES de£endei the Guards rorn tho'nnel lu o e n. tcha rges wh i ch had been ma d e aga i nst thorn by the . litensbe r f or • Lambeth, and expressed a regret that a battalion of Guards recently ordered to the East had been countermanded, because, * men having 'l 3 all is consequence of the able een ordered out in the first instance, there was not a sufficient number now to make up a good batta lion. One of the great privileges of the Guards was to be always foremost in peril and danger, and he instanced their arduous services and gallant conduct at Hongomont, and at the battle of Waterloo, as evidences of the privileges which the Guards enjoyed in this respect. Mr. NAPIER thought that some explanation should be made to the house with respect to the harsh sentence passed on the two men at Chatham for firing at the effigy of the Emperor of Russia. Colonel KNOX expressed his opinion that if ever there was an offence of which a man could be guilty in his bar racks, it was that for which those two raen had been so pro perly punished. Would the house for a moment sanction that any man in the barracks should be allowed to make away with the ammunition given him for the publie ser vice in an indiscriminate fusillade ? He considered that the men had received a most salutary punishment, and he hoped it would have the effect of checking such great irre gularities in future. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. STUART KNOX, deny ing the accuracy ofthe statements read by the hon. mem ber for Lambeth from a local newspaper, the house went into committee on the signally exempt from disease. Many of them were very comfortable, all of them were in a state of health and vigour; but the reason was easily explained; they were all men of independent fortune, who could command beasts of burden, and th e y f urn i s h e d themselves with all those little requisites that were denied the soldiers. (Hear.) Another great evil arose from the enormous amount of the work the soldiers had to perform. The British army un dertook to do too much. " They undertook to defend an extent of lines which their numbers did not justify them in undertaking. The consequence was, that the soldiers were a long time in the trenches, their strength was totally exhausted, and they became unfit for duty. (Hear.) He had heard instances of good men saying to the sur geons, " We are quite well, but we are worn out with fa tigue and the want of sleep ; if we go on sentry we shall fail asleep, but if you put us on the sick list, after a few hours' rest, we shall return to our duties." He had known of cases whore the doctor, knowing the men, had acted in conformity with their request, and in a few hours the icon returned to their work. (Hear.) He had heard state ments, likewise, respecting the want of medicine at Bala klava ; and there appeared to be some signal mismanage ment in that as in every other department. A medical man told him, before he left the Crimea, that, late in De cember, he went to procure a considerable quantity of opium, which was a sine qua non in the treatment of the disease that had scourged the army. But the quantity of opium in store was so small that he could get it barely in ounces, and on his return to the camp he found himself in the disagreeable position of being obliged to tell the sol diers that, greatly as he regretted their condition, and much as he felt for them, it was impossible for him to ob tain the medicine which was required for the malady they were labouring under. (Hear, hear.) There was another point connected with this subject to which he hoped the attention of the house would be directed, namely, the state of the transports that were employed in conveying the sick betw een B a l a kl ava and Scutari. (Hear, hear.) He believed that since he loft the Crimea things had con siderably improved; but, when he was there, there was great room indeed for improvement. (Hear, hear.) They could hardly picture to themselves anything more wretched than the condition of the poor men who were sent to Scutari from Balaklava. They were sometimes wholly destitute of anything like beds or bedding. (Hear.) He saw 600 sick and wounded men who were brought down from the plateau by their generous allies—the French. (Hear, hear.) It happened to be a wet day, but they were taken as they were on board the transport which was to convey them to Scutari. These men had nothing.what ever to protect thorn but the groat-coats they had on and another blanket, and in that condition they were com pelled to lie down on the deck. So great, however, was the change from what they had been enduring in the camp, through wet and exposure, and want of proper sustenance, that though they were compelled to take for their bed the hard deck of the transport, they looked upon it as the acme of comfort. (Hear, hoar,) That did not last long, for when a sick man has to lie for some time on a hard deck ho suffers from it, though for two daiiTile - zniihtai; it with , impunity. There were 300 men on board, and the passage to Scutari was a rather quick one. Bat oa their arrival at the hospital there was no accommodation for the sick, and ten days elapsed before the greater number of them were landed. That was the trying period for the men, and they died off very speedily. They lost during the time that elapsed between the period they left Battiklava and the arrival of the vessel at Scutari 11 per cent. out of the 300; but the greater number of those died during the time the ship was kept• at Scutari. (Hear, hear.) The French managed these things better. They were not half so tender with the Turks as the British authorities were. (Hear, hear.) When they wanted an hospital they went and took it— whereas the English entered into a long correspondence, which took up such a long time that the whole matter terminated by their losing their chance. He believed the scheme had been already carried out of estab lishing an hospital at Smyrna, but there was another sug gestion made by a man who had had great experience in India, and that was, to send out from this country large wooden buildings for erection at Sinope, whiela was a.short distance from Balaklava. By doing that, they could have their sick and wounded conveyed from Balaklava in a very short time to a comfortable and quiet hospital. ' Iu the► event of there being any further engagements it was to be expected that there would - be a large number of wounded, and those"men could be conveyed down to this hospital, and there at once have the necessary operations performed. Hitherto it had been the staff experience of a surgeon that secondary operations had scarcely ever been successful. Those performed ,on the. field were generally successful, but it. was impossible to perform anything by a secondary operation, a hen the patient,must be conveyed such a long distance as from Balaklava to Scutari. In the event of this plan being recognised as a sound and good one, which the Government wou ld carry ou t, many va l ua ble lives would be raved. Another advantage would ariso from the establishment of this wooden hospital. Stone buildings con tracted a - deleterious atmosphere, that militated greatly against the recovery of patients. They seemed to-be impreg nated with disease, and disease hung about them. But in a clean wooden building that was not the case, and an emi nent physician belon„eia s e to the civil departmeut'recently organised to go out to Smyrna was so fully caguisant of shis fact that he was endeavouring, by all means in his power to bring the subje c t b e f ore th e G overnmen t . He (Mr. Dundee) trusted the Government would take the matter into their considdration, and not think it unworthy of their notice. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MAGI,IRE thought the number of soldiers sent out to the Crimea would be filly equal to the duties they had to perform; but they were not cared for, and the same blundering that masked the administration at home had also marked the administration abroad. (Hear, hear.) His belief was that the blundering and stupidity of the last. Government bad caused more damage to the British troops than the fiercest valour of their Muscovite foe. (Hear.) He would mention one instance of mismanage ment that had come to his knowledge. A large ship, hav ' ing 190 bullocks on board, to afford fresh meat to the un fortunate men in the trenches, arrived at Balaklava. The captain wanted to get into Balaklava, but some stupid nincompoop —some wretched fool—by his blundering Btu piiity, for five days prevented the entrance of that vessel. (Hear.) The consequence was, that out of 190 bullocks 80 only were landed, and, being mere skeletons, died in a few days. (Hear.) The troops were actually murdered in the trenches because sufficient precautions were not taken to provide for them, and the blood of those men lay at the door of some department of the State. (Hear.) He wished for a termination of the war, but considered that until Lord Raglan was replaced they would not have a vigorous pro secution of the war or a • triumphant termination of the struggle. (Hear.) It had been stated that for a long time Lord Raglan was not seen in Balaklava, and that the soldiers scarcely knew him, and he (Mr. Maguire) con sidered that a man on whom so great a responsibility de volved should take care that the troops were kept in a proper condition. He begged also to call attention to the fact that the number of Catholic ohaplains with the army was not sufficient to cope with the great amount of duties which the sickness in the camp alone would impose on them.. Of the number sent out, two had died, four were invalided, and two only were fit for duty. The Ca tholio clergy were, in fact, unable to perform the duties imposed upon them, and it was cruel to overwork them as they had been over woskeil. The contrast between the treatment of the English and French soldiers was disgrace ful. Pher e was one good effect arising from the charge at Balaklava ' and that was, t o ra i se th e c h arac t er o f th e British soldier mere than anything else could have done. But the French saw that the 'bravery of our troops went for nothing, because the stupidity and incompetehce of. British officials rendered the valour of the troops and the courage of the nation almost nought. (Hear.) C ipt. ARCHDA.LL begged to,call attention to a few ap pointments recently made in the army, which were accom panied with a certain degree of injustice to old and merito rious officers. He alluded to the appointment of Generals .Bentinck, 'Campbell, and Pennefather to the colonelcies of regiments. They were worthy, no doubt, of every reward, but in the way in which it was conferred an injustice had been done - to other officers. (Hoar.) He was not satisfied with the - answer given by the noble lord the- member for Tiverton with respect to the case of Sergeant Sullivan, who ssn account of his general character and abilities, as well as on account of his bravery, was entitled to promo tion. (Hear.) Colonel BOLDERO had hoard from one of the directors . of the East India Company that great advantage had been experienced from the issuing of porter to the troops in India.' (Hear.) He,wishod to ascertain the, quantity of porter that had been sent out to the army in the Crimea, and whether a fresh stipply, had been sent out ? He also desired to know if any pertion o f it had been sent back to England, and the quaktity sent back, as well as the cause for returning it ? Ho wished also to ascertain whether the agent who made the contrast with the Government had not-furnished a bill for the detention of the ship at Balaklava of a considerable amount ? (Hear.) Ho wished likewise to know whether the porter was supplied by open contractor not? He again begged to call attention to the case of officers returning from the East in a sick or wounderi s state. He knew a y oung man who had returned wounded and who wept to the medical board the other day. They were astonished at the progress he had Made, his health having been improved at a heavy expense to his family. He -received, howeier, only 50'. from the board, and that he (Co]. Bollero) considered was a very great injustice. (Hear.) Mr. WILSON said there was not the slightest ground for thareport that porter had been returned to this coun try.becauso there was no officer to receive it at Constanti nople,. nor was it true that the contractors who had sup plied the porter had brought actions against the Govern ment tor a. breach of the contract. The .fact was, that four cargoes of porter Were sent out for the use of the troops, but is the meanwhile the troopS having changed their quarters, the porter had to follow them, and all the disputes which had arisen be;ween the. Government and - the contractors related to demurrage for freight. (Hear.) : The vote was then agreed to.'- • On the vote of 151,1001, for allowance to the principal officers of the several ptiblic departments of the army, Mr. F. PEEL said it would be seen that this vote did not include:the salary of the Secretary at Wat; as that office had been added to that of Minister for . War. (Hear.) With regard to the allegation of an hon. member, that two men had been too seyerely`punished for firing-their aminu- . nition at the Emperor of Russia--(a lafigh) -ho begged to say that he had looked over the depositions taken before the court-martial, but he could not find the slightest allu sion to the Emperor of Russia. The charge against the men was, that they had injured the public property in having fired away their ammunition, and cue of them was sentenced to 140 days , and the other to 42 days' imprison ment. The reason that distinction was made in the punish ment was stated to be that the first man was a very bad character, and had been three times convicted before. Mr. OTWAY had never said the men had fired at the . Emperor of Russia; he only wished they could have had the chance of doing so. (A. laugh.) • Mr. 0. O'BRIEN asked if it was true that an order had been promulgated against the enlistment of Irishmen in the brigade of Guards ? Mr. F. PEEL had never heard of such an order. Mr. MAGUIRE reminded the honourable member.that he had not answered his question with respect to the clergy in the Crimea. Mr. PEEL understood the number of clergymen em ployed in the army of the Crimea was forty-two, of whom twenty-four were ministers of the Church of England. Mr. MAGUIRE-said that of the clergymen allotted to the Roman Catholic portion of the army four had been in valided, and he should be glad to know if steps had been taken to supply their places Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT said he could give the hon. member some information upon the subject. The number of clergymen allotted to the army was according to the re lative proportion of the men belonging to the Church of England, Roman Catholics, and Presbyterians. Formerly it was thought that at least a third of the whole army were Roman Catholics. and the clergymen allotted were— twelve for the Church of England, eight for the Roman al lowed to accordingly inereas e the th Catholics, and four for the Presbyterians. Afterwards it Church of England, e W 11.3 3 to , l) l (tad tha different- denominations shoold-130 e number number was absy increasedvoluntary to tw on ty . subscriptions, feur sixteen Roman Catholics, and eight State and half by vo Presbyteriansincrease being made up half by the 1 bti Ho believed, however, that within the last two or thr;e years the Ro ni.n Catholics in the army had been far less than a third )f ithe whole. Ur. /41AG-UIRE thought it was derogatory to the dignity )f the State that the spiritual wants of any portion the a y should be supplied by voluntary subscriptions. ,As f the latter remark of the right hon. gentleman, he be- - ti ved that more than a third of the men sent out to the C itnea were Ruman Catholics. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether it was in t ded that the three departments of the Commander-in- C aief should be consolidated? Mr. PEEL said that subject was now under the consi deration of the Government. Colonel NORTH asked if the clerks in the War-office would receive any gratuity for the increased laboer which tse war had imposed upon them ? Mr. PEEL replied in the negative, because the increased labour had been met by the appointment of additional clerks. Mr. DERESFORD should never object to any increase ofstaff when circumstances called for it, but in the autumn of 1852 a commission sat which recommended that certain duties in connection with the militia might be added to the Horse Guards without any increase of staff, and yet in the sPring of 1853 the Secretary at War proposed an increase of nine clerks in the War-office. The report of that cora- Mission had never been published, but it Ives very extra ordinary that the reports of two subsequent commissions which sat upon two other branches of the War-office had been presented to Parliament and published. The vote was then agreed to. On the veto of 11,795/. for the Royal Military College, Mr. BRADY drew attention to the disproportion which existed between salaries of the governors of the college and the remuneration of its medical officers. The governor and lieutenant-governor received 1,8251. a year, while the EflO• &cal officers received only 3924 He was satisfied that if the Country knew this it would never sanction such jobbery. Mr. RICE protested against the term `,`jobbery" being applied to this institution. It was a great boon to the hilitary profession, and instead, as had been asserted, of fficers' sons having to pay 1001. a year for their education, they only paid 401., but, of course, they must show that their friends were not in a condition to pay more. Colonel NORTH said the charge was regulated accord ing to the rank of the father. General PEEL wished to make a iu,ggestion to Govern iment. We were going to spend a large sum of money in ; the establishment of a camp at Aldersb.ot. Now, he would kuggest that the college at Sandhurst should be associated with that camp, and then staff officers would have an op portanity of pratically as well as theoretically studying the duties of their profession. It was impossible to learn all the duties of a staff officer theoretically ; but if the Senior department at Sandhurst were removed to the camp, they would have sa opportunity of leserning the practical parts of their profession. He hoped,. also, that lectures !would be given at the camp, at which all officers could attend as well as the non-commissioned, who, ho trusted, ;would soon be allowed promotion from the ranks for merit. Mr. BRADY wished to explain that he had no intention of throwing any discredit upon the establisment at Sand - 'burst, but to call attention to the fact that one-ninth of the sum of nearly 18,0001. voted, was allowed to the go .vernar-- a sum he thought, larger themnecessary. Lord LOYAINE said if the officers were obliged to re ;ceive instruction in the different branches of the army, it ;would bo a much better system. A. great error prevailed, which confounded the staff officers, whose business it was to carry messages, with the officers .of the adj utant-gene- Ind's and the gala-ten:nester-general's departments, which inquired much higher qualifications. G. PECHELL complained that the charge for the staff of the college at Sandhurst was a great deal more than !if they had a proper establishment 'with properly paid offi cers. A lieUtenant-governor was all that was necessary. He also believed that the sum paid by the cadets Was more than most of them could afford. Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the sum of 4001. for forage for the governor and lieutenant-governor. Mr: PEEL Oxplained that the sans; was required to ena ble those officers to discharge their duties. Colonel DUNNE said the system hitherto had been to discourage an officer frem learning his profession. At Sand hurit-the cadets could not learn all the duties of staff offi cers3-49ut they required a knowledge of fortification draw ing and other matters which they could not learn elsewhere. The suggestion of the gallant generallGeneral Peel) was a moo valuable one. The vote was then agreed to. ' The next vote was the stun of 23,3671. for the Royal Military Asylum and the Hibernian Military Schools. Loh.' NAAS born testimony to the value and efficiency of the Hibernian Military Schools, mad he hoped that if an increase was made in the English establishment, an in crease" Would be in justice made in the Irish one also. He asked what the original number was, and what addition was to be made ? Mr. F. PEEL said the number at present was no, and the additional number was 120. Arr:ITAPIETtalso urged the dairies of the Irish esta bli-htnent. Mr. S. HERBERT explained that in late years the num ber originally fixed by the Duke of York for the Royal Military Asylum had decreased, and the Secretary at War for the time had seized upon that portien of the establish ment thus vacant for the normal school for training regi mental-schoolmasters. Under present circumstances, the number of orphans had increased, and it was intended to bring the school up to the original number. The plans were already prepared, and he hoped that. in a short time they would be completed ; in the meantime, arrangements had been made in the existing building. Mr, WHITESIDE would put the question to a simple test. Let the Secretary at War make strict inquiry, and if he found•lroland had equal dal& he was bound to make a corresponding increase in that establishment. _ . Coledel DUNNE was certain that there was some claim, for the increase of orphans by the war was as great iu Ire land as in England. The vote was then agreed to. A vote of 83,000/. for volunteer corps was also agreed to. The next vote was one of 3,813,3831. for the embodied regiments of militia. - -Colonel DUNNE asked what was to be the quota of the Irish militia ? He also expressed some objections to the expensive system of billeting them. Colonel DUNNE'snegested to the Government the pro priety of inquiry whether there was any objection to put arms,into the hands of the militia. He did not believe they would be able to obtain -recruits in Ireland without embodying the militia. - Mr. PEEL said the. suggestion should receivodue con sideration, and the whole of the Irish militia would be called out if occasion required. Mr. WARNER suggested the propriety of providing temporary barracks wherever the militia was embodied. Lord LOVAINE inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to adopt any compulsory measures with regard to the militia ? Mr. T. PARKER called the attention of the Govern ment to the clothing of thomilitia, which, in some cases was inferior to that given to the rural police, and even to that'supplied to felons. The recent issue of boots bad been of a most shameful description. Many pairs had become utterly useless,. the soles having left the bodies of the .boots. (Laughter.) Lord PALMERSTON believed that in general the clothing supplied was of good quality, but there were some cases'-in which it was of an inferior description. The late Secretary at War had made an arrangement by which the colonels were themselves to look after the clothing. With regard to the question of the noble lord, he had to state that the Government had no intention to resort to the ballot at present. Representations had been received at the Home-office of the difficulty of raising men in some quarters, and recomm en di ng a resor t t o th e b a ll o t, b u t his answer h adi been that ho was perfectly convinced that men would join in due tim e , an d t h a t t h e b es t course was t o deavoit to their good f ee li ng. (Hear, hear.) • - Colonel SIBTHORP believed that the men who had 'joined were generally highly approved, and that the force would be most effi c i en t . Mr: - M. MILNES said he was aware of eases in which colblitaS'of regiments had written - Id the War-office stating that they had men ready to recruit for particular regi nients. But after the lapse of some time the dispositions _of the men changed. Now, he thought it would be better to _give the colonels greater facilities. for sending up men who wished to join the regular army. (Hear.) Colonel KNOX wished to call the attention of .the Go verninent to the subject of the transmission of pay from soldiers' serving abroad to their friends in England. Great complaints had been made on this subject;' and in Many cases the parties applying for' the pay could get no infer qn.ol9ll.asto where it was to be obtained. Any irnpedi ;assents thrown in the way of parties to whom mouoy was ro transmitted would tend greatly to discourage the sol dier. There was another subject to which he wished ha' ate'attention of the house--the system of hospital ser vice in every regiment, in the army. The general system Was, that w.heu a man went into the hospital the surgeon took a description of him, the name of his parents, and an account of the money in his possession, so that in the 'circa of his de a th there might be no dispute. Now,: he'regretted to say that in the hospital at Scutari the, whole of these arrangements had been tOtalyneglected; and the system of pleader and robbery that had been car tied Pn Was Perfedtly disgraceful... Many men. had gone in 'with 7. or 81., but the breath had hardly gone out of their hoilft;i before the Whol e disappeared ., Lord PALMERSTON apPrended that tho delays which had arisen with respect to the payments transmitted arose in.this way, that wheti the applications -were • made, the :my:list had not been received'. Of course.tho money could noA.N. I*d until the regimental pay-list was "received • glaowkng the amount dao to the men.... Mr. M. MILNES said there appeared the other day in the newspape rs on accoun t o f a proposition having been made to • the War-office to transmie•a; 'certain sum from' this onetry to persona lying—in the hospitals at Scutari and Constantinople, ,and that the War office not ouly de clined to recei ve th e money; but stated that the persons lying in the hospital at Scutari had received every comfort and everything that• mouey •could supply, and that such assistance was perfectly superfluous. He should be happy if the Secretary at War could inform the house whether he evoiffil be able to afford the means by which the charity of this country could reach•those unhappy men. Mr. A.: STAFFORD was glad the attention of the house had been called to the subject. - When he was on a visit to the hospital there was not a single day on which the matter was net pressed upon his attention'. 'There were soldiers to-whom pay was clue who could not send any portion of it to their relations in England.• They said, " We do not ask charity, we donot ask subscriptions from private bone -valence, but we say that in our sickness caused by the per formance of our duty we ought to' receive what we have earn - ed, and stead it to our' wives, sisters, and other relatives in England, but by -the regulations at Scutari we have been over and over again re fused." (Hear, hear.) He hadseen letters from female rola fives 'dating that unless money was sent to them to pur .chase a 'mangle or set themselves up in some way of busi ness, there was nothing left for them but the workhouse or prostitution. (Hear, hear.) It gave him great pain to hear these brave men make such complaints day after day. There was no redress, and 'the reason was that no regimental paper had come from the Crimea. The Secre tary at War stated that he had given orders and instruc tions to remedy this evil at Scutari. Far from hearing that statement with' satisfaction, he had heard it with great despair; because, although it might have arrived be fore he had the opportunity of addressing the house on a former occasion, it had not arrived, and it was his firm conviction that it had not arrived yet, so that the great evil which existed at Scutari when he was there existed in full force at this very moment. We ought to enable the poor soldier to draw, not as a matter of favour or private benevolence, but as a matter of justice, such sums as he might see fit, not c.nly for his own comfort, but to send to his relations. (Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the men who had been obliged to come home, none of them had been paid since they arrived in this country. A man came here with the loss of a limb ; he wished to go to see hit friends ; but he was unable to do so because he could not get his money. The Minister of War, on '-.the other hand, had very justly said that it was the duty of all in their several localities to do their utmost to induce men to enlist in the army. But what could individuals do in that way, when these young men who desired to enlist were told by others whom they met in the streets, " Wo have served our country abroad ; we came home wounded; but s we cannot get our money?' Such was another proof of the reign of routine. 11, u sure th . 1- the u.,ble lorl -the head of the Government, and the hon. gentleman the Under Secretary-at-War would be most anxious to remedy these and other evils, and he therefore implored, them to depart.from the spirit of routine in the present instance, and do justice to those who had fought so bravely and suffered so much for their country. Mr. S. HEB,BERT said the hon. gentleman who had just sat down had not given a coned description of the regulations udder which pay was issued to the soldiers. The hon. gentleman stated to him some time ago, upon his re turn from Ginstantiuople ' that there was great difficultS , about paying' the men in the East. Now, there could be no doubt that even by official routine the mess were en titled to receive their pay as the honourable gentleman stated, and they were likewise entitled to have facilities which would enable them to remit the money to their friends at home. When the army went to the Climes, in order that the circumstanc:3 which he had just mentioned should be generally known to the men, Lord Raglan was requested to publish a general order directing the attention of the troops to the regulations, with respect to the issue of their pay. That was accordingly done, and when the sick and wounded were removed to Scutari, an officer was sent to act as pay master at the hospital; but it would appear that he was totally ignorant of the regulations of the service, for he de parted from the official routine, and did not afford the men those facilities to which they were entitled. Wh4 the subject was brought to his notice in that house by the hon. member for Northamptonshire, be instantly wrote to Scutari that those men who had not had the facilities to which they were entitled had seen grossly ill-treated, and that they ought immediately to be made aware of their right to remit money to their friends at home. It was true that when the men arrived at Scutari from Balaklave they had no statement as to the amount of money due to them. He was not surprised that that should occasionally have happened, but the officers at Scutari ought to have done immediately what heknew they had done since—paid every man on account from the day he left Balaklava. He hoped the evil wise now rectified ; if not, he trusted the Under-Secretary of War would look to it, and would select the best men he could find and send them to replace those who were inefficient. He ought to mention that the hon. and learned member for Enniskillen asked him some time ago whether it was true that the men in hospital at Scutari had 9d. deducted as stoppage from their pay. He an ;pounced at once that the men in hospital from injuries or 'sickness contracted during operations in the field were not liable to any stoppage beyond the ordinary stoppage for rations. No more they had ; but the hon. and learned gentleman had *ome reason to put the question, for lie found afterward* that the regulations had been violated, and the men obliged to submit to a stoppage of 9d. out of their pay. He might add, however, that upon hearing that fact he instantly wrote to the effect that, whatever might be the inconvenience, every farthing of the money so taken from the men shouid be paid b ac k. (Hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE said it was observable that whenever any abuse was brought before the house, it was sure to be attribated to "routine." Was there no way of killing routine ? (Hear.) Mr. STAFFORD was not surprised to hear that the right hon. gentleman the member for Wilts had written numerous letters' to Scutari ; but there was one plan which he had not adopted, and that was neither more nor less than going to Constantinople himself. He was now re lieved,from the cares and duties of office ; and since ho was unable to ascertain correctly what was going on at Scutaii —since he was so dissatisfied with the whole of his letters —he could only recommend him to try the effect of his personal presence, and in order to obviate any Parliamen tary difficulty he was ready to pair with him at six hours' notice, and accompany him to Scutari for the rest of the session. (A _ _ Colonel 'ARCEIDALL was sure there must have been some exaggeration in the statementsin the letters from the female friends of soldiers in the hospital to the effect that if they did not receiveremmittances they would be obliged to resort to prostitution. The Central Association had been established for the express purpose of supporting the wives and familibs of soldiers sent to the East, and he knew it had supported no fewer than 13,900 persons, at an ex pense of about 1,0001. per week. Mr. PEEL, referring to the remarks of the hon. member for Pomfret, said that no less a sum than 18,008/. had been remitted by soldiers in the East to their friends in this country, in small amounts, averaging 2/. 12s. Mr. H. A. HERBERT said the right hon. gentleman the member for Wilts had stated that some stoppages had been made at Scutari, contrary to the regulations of the service. Was it not possible to ascertain whose fault it was, and to visit tho offenders with punishment ? (Hear.) Mr. S. HERBERT thought he had stated that the fault lay with the pay master at Scutari, and that he de s ir e d a proper person t d be sent out to replace him. Mr. CRAUFORD complained of the want of barrack and hospital accommodation for the militia in Scotland, and hoped the government would take steps to supply what was required. Mr. PEEL said the Government would make all the ar rangements in their power to provide the accommodation referred to by the hon. and.learned gentleman. Mr. WALPOLE asked the noble lord at the head of the Government whether he had heard that the principle of voluntary enlistment for the militia had been materially interfered with by the bill for sending out certain militia regiments to garrison places in tho Mediterranean?! If the fact were so, it was well worth consideration how far that bill should be noted upon to its full extent. Lord PALMERSTON said" the number of militia who could bo sent abroad under the bill passed before Christmas would form a very small proportion of the whole. But, of course, there was no accounting for tho erroneous impres sions which might be produced in the minds of the people, and it was posdible, though he had not heard of it, that sem° might have been deterred from entering the militia from the notiqx that they would be liable to be sent abroad against their will. The house, however, was quite aware that by the recent act no man could be sent abroad unless ho himself, individually, agreed to go, and there fore those mispiireheusions, if they did exist, were totally unfound() I. • • The vote was agreed to. On the next vote, that of 22,0001. for allowances and rewards for distinguished ser vices, Colonel KNOX urged the importance of the institution of some order of merit for the reward of officers and sol diers below the rank of field-officers, to whom, the granting of the Order of the Bath was limited. The institution of such an order would do more to promote the improvement of the army, and to excite emulation in all classes from the highest to the lowest, than would the giving of an y p oss ibl e number of commissions. He suggested that what he de sired might be accomplished by granting the Order of the Bath to captaiim and subalterns; and by the institution for non-commissioned officers and privates of an order of merit which should carry with it double pay and double pension. Mr. APSLEY PELLATT called attention to the injus tice which was done by depriving a corporal promoted to be a sergeant of, ariy good-conduct pay he might have re ceived in his previous capacity. Lord HOTHAM called attention to an abuse which was a consequence of the mode in which this vote was adminis tered:—Thice: colonel was promoted to the rank of general he did not, unless he had served a certain number of years as - air effe - ctiVe field-officer ' receive the half-pay of a gene ral, but only th a t d ue t o him in virtue of his previous com mission. In more than one case a general not entitled to general's half-pay- had received one of those pensions for distinguished services, and had then been put upon the list of general officers receiving general's half-pay. Now it might very likely happen - that a meritorious officer might not . have served long enough to entitle him to general officer's pay, mid it might therefore be very right to recom pense him by a pension for good service. But it was not right then to,procieed also to give him geteral officer's pay, because he !lici t obtained this good-service pension. The re. suit of that was that those who had not served long enough to obtain general officer's pay might be better off than those who had. Colonel DIT.IJNE quito agreed with the hon. member for Southwark (?Ir. Pellatt) in thinking it very hard that a corporal shoul4 lose his good-service pay on being pro moted to the rank of a sergeant, • Mr. WARIOR observed that by this vote pensions of 1001. each were proposed to be gives to the adjutant and quartermaster 7 gerterals of the army in the Crimea. Now he did not think they-ought now to reward officers whose conduct had been attacked and was about to form the sub ject of inquiribefore a committee of that house. He would move to omit these items from the vote. Lord PALMERSTON said that the pensions proposed to be given to , the quartermaster-generals and adjutaet generals of the army in the,Crimea were to be awarded to them for good service in the•factvof the enemy at the bat tles of the Alma and Inkerman, and he did not think that giving rewards for -such conduct could at all fetter the house in coming to a judgment upon the general' arrange ments for the Management of the army made by those offi cers, which w4s to be the subject of investigation before the select combittee of that house. (Hear.) Lord EBRINCiTON thought that some provision should be made for d6fraying the cost of th e ou tfi ts of the ser geants te&Ntr'hom Commissions were to be given. Mr. PEEL pointed out that a sum of 5,0001. was pro posed to be gianted for. that purpose. Mr. OTWAX complained of the manner in which Lord Raglan's conduct had been prejudged, by some hon. gentle men, and remarked that he had yet had no opportunity of being heard iii his own defence. Mr. WILLIAMS asked if it was true that the' sergeants in the Guards' who were to be •promoted to the rank of officers were not to receive commissions in their own regi ments; and if so, what was the reason? Mr. PEEL was understood to remark that this was a matter within the province of the Commander-in-Chief. Mr. CRAUFURD said that the pensions to be, given to the adjutant and quartermaster genera l s wore to be awarded to them in their capacity of adjutant and quartertnaster generals. Now, he thought it was not advisable to give rewards to officers whose conduct was about to be the sub- ject of investigation. - The amendment was not pressed, and the vote was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again, and the house resumed. WAYS AND MEANS. The house then resolved itself into a committee of ways and means, and. Mr. WILSON moved that towards making o•oods the supply granted to her Majesty the sum of 17,1937001. be raised by Exchequer-bills for the service of the year 1355. .Agreed to. . . THE CONSOLIDATED FUND. The Consolidated Fund (2,000,0000 Bill as amended was considered. The Consolidated Fund Bill (4000,0001.) passed through soraraittee. MILITIA (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Colonel DUNNE said he had no objection to the bill if the last clause was left out. Tho clause had nothing to do with qualification's or indemnities for qualifications, and it could not pass without notice. Mr. NAPIER caused some laughter by pointing out cer tain absurdities and anomalies in the working of the bill. Mr. KEOGH disclaimed being answerable for the phrase ology of the bill, and contended that though it was some what obscure, the intention in every case was clear enough. The bill was then read a second time. CASE OF THOMAS LANDERS. Mr. MAGUIRE moved for a copy of a memorial ad dressed to the. Irish executive by three magistrates of the county of Waterford, and the foreman of the grand jury and petty jury that investigated and tried the case in favour of Thomas Landers, who, having been convicted of wounding one; Tatty in a drunken brawl, and, as alleged; in self-defenccl, was sentenced by the assistant-barrister (Mr. Bessonetl.6t thedast quarter-sesstons helti.ifi'thut county to four year s' penal servitude. He was now under the impression that the law had not been fairly adminis tered in this case, and the production of the memorial would satisfy him on this point. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND opposed the motion on the ground that the house could not convert itself into a tribunal for revising sentences passed at assizes sious Thu motion was by leave withdrawn. PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. On the motion of Sir B. HALL the select committee on the Public Health Bill and Nuisances Removal and Dis eases Prevention Act Consolidation and Amendment Bill, was nominated as follows :—Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Irton, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Adderley, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. Horsfall, Viscount Goderich, Mr. Freshfield, Mr. Austin Bruce, Sir John Hanmer, Mr. Knight, Mr. Gore Langton, Mr. James APGregor, and Mr. Thomas Greene. On the motion of Colonel NORTH, an address to her Majesty was agreed to, for causing the royal warrant, re gulating promaion and retirement in the Ordnance, to be laid on the table. The other orders of the clay having been disposed of, the house adjourned at one o'clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ARMY ESTIMATES The first vote proposed was a sum of 314,9841. to defray the charges of the general staff of medical officers. Admiral WALCOTT expressed his warm admiration of the noble conduct and fortitude displayed by the officers of the medical staff with the army in the East, and eulogised the exertions of Miss Nightingale and Mr. and Mrs. Brace bridge. Ho also expressed the great pleasure which ho felt at witnessing the liberality of all classes of the country in connection with the Patriotic Fund. Mr. WILLIAMS explained that in what ho had stated with respect to the army he had intended nothing discour teous ; he had acted merely in the conscientious discharge of his public duty,, and was not to be intimidated from pursuing the course which he thought a proper one by any abuse or taunts which might be cast upon him. Although the name of a military man had something formidable about it, and although he was not a military man himself, still he could assure the hon. and gallant members opposite that he was not afraid of any man. (Hear, and a laugh.) Colonel NORTH called attention to the great expenses to which the Governor of Portsmouth was put in the dis charge of his duties, and suggested the propriety of in creasing the allowance made to that officer. After a few words from Mr. FRENCH, in explanation of some statements made by him on a former occasion, in which he had been represented as not having done fell jus tiee to the merits of regimental officers in the Crimea, Lord HOTHAM called the attention of the committee to the recent royal warrant on the subject of promotion in the army. He fully concurred in the propriety of the alteration there proposed—that instead of an officer rising from the rank of lieutenant-colonel, by degrees, to the rank of general officer, without reference to the services he might have performed, a threeyears' service in the rank of lieutenant-colonel in command of a regiment, or in a staff appointment corresponding with the command of a • regiment, should be necessary previous to arriving at the rank of general. He was, however, perfectly at a loss to understand why to this wholesome and proper regulation should have been added the qualification of having served six years as an equerry to the Sovereign ; for there was certainly nothing in the duties of an equerry which could entitle any person so serving to military promotion or re want. (Hear, hear.) - Young men goin g into the army should know that the way to get on to the staff was by directing their minds to such studies as would qualify them for these employments. The staff should be remo delled; and made to consist of the best officers; and if it were 'composed of highly-educated officers, the country would have every confidence in its efficiency. It was im possible that anybody could have had any communication with the army in the Crimea without learning the asto nishment felt by the regimental officers at the honours and rewards showered on the staff officers there. (Hear.) Every one, in fact, was struck with astonishment at the promotions which had been given to the staff, to an extent that looked as if a page of the "Army List" had been torn out. He (Lord Hotham) was not personally affected by the Royal warrant for regulating promotions 7 • but he could not avoid directing the attention of the Un der Secretary for the War Department to the rules for the promotion to the rank of major-general, which, he thought, required revision. Mr. LAYAILD saw, from the last despatch which had been received from Lord Raglan, that there was a want of forage in the Crimea, in consequence of the Commissary - General's not receiving English hay. That was almost scandalous, Three .months ago the horses were dying for want of forage, and that up to this time forage was not ob tained was totally inexplicable- (Hoar.) That the horses in the Crimea should be dependent on this country for hay was monstrous, considering that chopped straw could be -obtained at any moment in that quarter. Ho trusted some explanation would be given of this matter. The sub ject of tents was one also that demanded attention, and that was of the greatest importance. Nobody knew what direction the. war might take this year—nobody knew whether we were to have peace or war—but tents were wanted, and tents should be provided, not so much as a protection during day as at. night. Colonel Napier had sent him a drawing of a tent for a campaign which was worthy the consideration of the Government. The French had tents of a similar kind, and MY time should be lost in providing them. The question of summer clothing was also one thatshould not be postponed, and he trusted that before July some pattern would be determined on and sent out to the army. These two subjects, tents and clothing, should immediately occupy the most serious attention of the hon. Under-Secretary. There was a question which be would like to have answered. Before the Duke of Newcastle went out of office, a gallant colonel, now General Chesney, was sent for from Ireland to take the command of the Turkish contingent ; but shortly after his arrival the Duke of Newcastle retired, and Colonel Chesney was told that his services would not be required. He was sum marily dismissed, although he certainly might have ex pected somewhat more courtesy and consideration. With respect to staff appointments and promotions, there was Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, who had lately been wounded, and who had been mentioned in more than one despatch, and who bad distinguished himself very much. He had not received any premotion ; he was still a captain of artillery. He might have received honours and promo tions had he remained on Lord Raglan's staff; but rather than do that, he welt to command a battery, and he had served gallantly during the whole time the army was in the Crimea, and now he was wounded. Yet still he re mained a captain of artillery. That brava and meritorious officer had received no reward or promotion whatever. Mr. H. BAILLIE complained of the beggingletter which had been sent by the late Secretary i at War, asking for pil low-cases and sheets for the men n hospital at Scutari. Bat for the exposure made by what was called the " ribald press" our soldiers in the Crimea would have totally perished. He desired to be assured that proper precautions had been taken to remedy the state of things which existed in the hospitals, in the camp, and in Balaklava, and particularly if the soldiers discharged from Scutari were provided with proper clothing. Mr. WARNER contended that • the inefficiency of our staff had brought down on us the contempt of our enomies and the ridicule of Europe. . _ _ Mr. F. PEEL did not feel qualified to reply in detail to the several questions put by the noEe lord (Lord Hotham), and others 'but he would en d eavour t o answer ' them as best he could.- The royal warrant for promotion. was to enable her Majesty to employ the best o ffi cers , an d it was provided that lieutenant-colonels, without waiting for brevet, could be employed as major -generals" of divi sion. With respect to the - questions pat lsy the hon. member for Aylesbury, their importance was undoubted, and they should receive the most careful attention. (Hear.) Both the 'subjects of forage, of tents, and of summer cloth ing should receive the immediate consideration of the Go-' vernment. With respect to the question put by the hon. member for Inverness—whether the soldiers, on their dis charge from Scutari were prOvided with proper clothing —the Ordnance had ordered the establishment of a store at Constantinople, where all supplieswere to be procured ; and now that that store had been established it was not probable that there could be any want of due provision for the soldiers. With respect to the staff, that was a subject on which he did not feel justified in making any statement, on account of being se short a time in his pre sent office, without consulting the Secretary for War. Mr. M. CHAMBERS thought the 'question of re organising the 'medical staff of the greatest importance. • That staff in the Cameo, ought to bo put on a different footing. It was admitted that there had been neglect by individual surgeons but it was clear . that they had b een unable, from wan t of power, to discharge their duties. The defect had been the defect of routine. (Hear, hear.) Many skilful surgeons had been desirous of going to the Crimea, but they had met with all sorts of impediments. Every facility should be offered to skilful surgeons to go out, but, on the contrary, every. obstruction was placed in their path. ,He knew an admirable surgeon of eight years' experience who was desirous of going out to the Crimea, and who 'Made apPlication, but who found that the regu ls.tious were anch :that he could not accede to them. A man wishing to go to the Crimea, and making application to the department, might bo sent out to Van Diemen's Land, or to Sierra Leone, or to Scutari, and might never be sent to the Crimea at all. i Mr. G. DUNDAS might refer to the case of a young gentleman who had accompanied a general officer late in the day on the field . of Inkerinan, and who had received promotion, though not in - action, as an' instance of the way in which rewards are • distributed. The want of forage in 13alaklava was alluded to by tho honourable _member for Aylesbury, but.it was not the want of forage r but the want of some person to distribute it, which was really felt. When ho (Mr. G. "Dundas) was in the har bour of Balaklava v. few i:eeks ago, 'there was a quantity of forage knocking about, and yot the ho rses were starv ing a: mile from it. (Hear.) 'lie had been s ur p r i se d at the , state in which he saw, the horses of our dragoon regime n t s stationed a short distance froth the harbour. He saw the horses standing at the pickets, after two or throe days successive hail,-rain, and snow, without covering or rugs, and in the vicinity of the camp he saw the carcases of the unfortunate beasts lying, their manes and tails eaten ell' by their neighbours ; yet all this time there was no want of forage in the harbour-of Balaklava. (Hear.) - There was the ship Cormorant, which had come into the harbour in November; and the bran bags were taken on shore, and there they were lying on the beach when he (Mr. G. Dan das) was there. He saw them himself on the beach. Ve getables were greatly required, but on the arrival of the . Harbinger in the harbour, no one could be found who would relieve the captain of his charge. No one would take charge of the vegetables which were on board the 'vessel. A strong representation having been made at head-quar ters, at last an order was sent by the Commander-in-Chief that the officers and men might go on board and. e.et the vegetables. A few availed themselves of that order,' but the great mass of these vegetables began to rot; and at last that permission, which ought to have been given in particular,Y the first instance, was given that officers and men should g fo o r v aci b u o i a r rd and help themselves. All this was a matter and that it was quite clear ; and, although unwilling to blame anybody in erre? rigour and abilir i ha s a ho b t e ild be inquired into. He thought a griev ousthat blame lay somewhere, responsible were to be perforYnieod t committed in not appointing men of discharge the various duties that occurred as trll!'tcheed. with an intimation that they should p b a e rt ra nt e t over which "the; were what might happen in the de was under .

The officers serving in the camp had been TATTERSAL'S.-MONDAY. It was hoped that the rapid and general thaw would give a new aspect of interest to the race meetings adver tised to take place this week, and that fresh spirit would conßequently be infused into speculation. The chances in favour of the Liverpool meeting being held on Fri day next apparently amounted to a certainty ; in the course of the morning, however, numerous bets—not a few of which were doubtless made "from signal or in dication"—were most industriously laid against it. In the early part of the afternoon the fact that a further postponement bad been deemed necessary was announced at Tattersall's, which we were enabled to announce to the public in the whole of the impression of The Sun of yesterday. The " Official Letter," addressed by the clerk of the course to our reporter, was as follows : " Liverpool, Sunday, Feb. 25, 1855, 7 P.M. Dear Sir—Lord Sefto❑ has further postponed the Liverpool Spring Meeting until Wednesday, the 7th of Marcb.—Yours truly, E. W. TOPHAM." By this arrangement all bets made up to the above date as to the result of the race are void, and all bets made after the above date as to the meeting taking place within the current week must also be void, for in all bets there must be a possibility for both parties to win when the bet is made, or, in other words, "you cannot win when you cannot lose." With the new fix ture betting on the events begins anew. The day now fixed upon for holding‘the Liverpool Meeting will clash most injuriously with the opaning day of the Nottingham Meeting, more than one-half of the number of horses having engagements at each place. The clerk of the course at Liverpool will, therefore, best consult the interests of this meeting by altering, if possible, the appointment, to either Monday, the 6th, or Friday, the 9th. The pAncipal transactions to-day were with regard to Rambling Katie for tho City and Suburban, the Yore for the Great Northern Handicap, an d St. Hubert for the Two Thousand and Derby. Each was strongly sup ported, and at the close had an advancing tendency. It will be seen from the subjoined list of quotations that, for both the Two Thousand and the Derby, Lord of the Isles experienced a decline ; at one time as much as 6 to 1 was laid against him for the former event, and just before the clos,e of buFiness 13 to 1 was betted to 300/. against him for the latter. Wild Dayrell was in good demand, and Rambling Katie was backed for up- wards of 1501., at 50 to 1, 400 to 100 was taken about Scott's " lot." CLOMING PRICES.

GUILDHALL.—Robert Newman, was charged with being unlawfully in possesSion of a door plate. It appeared that the prisoner and another man were observed by a police-officer walking together, and on Stopping the former to inciiiire what he had in a basket which be was carrying on his head, his companion ran away. The prisoner was taken to the station, and in his basket was found a large brass door-plate, on which were migraven the words "The Oak Mutual Life Assur ance Association." • Mr. Timms, the accountant to the London and County Assurance Company, said the plate produced belonged to the company he represented, as it formed part of the assets of the late " Oak Society," which they purchased on that Association becoming defunct - . The prisoner was then remanded, as it was suspected that he was connected with a gang who have been in strumental in the disappearance of numerous door plates in the city, some of which have been valued as high as from 501. to 60i. each. MARLBOROUGEI-ST ItEET.— Mary Crossley and William, Sullivan were charged with obta;ning mosey from Mr. Evelyn, M.P.,: Bennett-street, by false and fraudulent pretences. Tho prisoners, wbcrare well known to the IViendicity Society's officers as members of a gang of begging•letter impostors, were each committed for three months. George Melfor was sent to prison for three months, for going . about collecting alms under the pretence that he had just come from the Crimea, and had been wounded in the Terrible.: Mathilde Vanclerplaae, Cathertne Atolller, and Janet Moulton, natives of Germany, were charged before Mr. Yardley with smuggling. It appeared that on S"atorday the General Navigation Company's steamer Rhine arrived at Blackwell from Ostend, and Dean, a tide surveyor, noticing something unusual about the prisoners' appearance, gave them over to a female searcher, who found about 401bs. of foreign anufactured tobacco padded into the petticoats worn by Hach of the prisoners. The petticoats were fastened to the body by straps. The prisoners informed the magistrate that when they were at Ostend they were accosted by a man who offered to pay their passage to England and back, tad give them a small sum of money, if they would carry over the tobacco in the petticoats, which be showed them how to put on. The man promised to meet them on their arrival in London. Mr. Yardley, who seemed inclined to give credit to the statement, said that other cases of a similar descrip tion had come before him, where foreign women had been entrapped into the commission of smuggling. There was reason to believe an extensive and organised system of smuggling was being carried on. The women, if there story was true, were to be pitied, but he was obliged to inflict a penalty in each case of 1001„ or six months' imprisonment. The whole matter deserved investigation. {ADV ERTISEMENT.]—Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, and Prostrate Gland; and their connection with the Ganglionic or Great Centtal ; System of Nerves; being a reprint (considerably - enlaitedy of a series of papers bear ing upon the more important and prominent symptoms, and the most successful mode of practice in the treat ment of diseases of those organs—in the press, and will be speedily p u bli s h e d, by D r , D en i s C ron i n, ;5, Bruton otteet, Berkeley-square, o I,7 TYTRY i A EPT.C. • CHELMSFORD—FEB. 23. , werf .
