That was really the whole of the despatch. (Oh, ob.) Turkish troops could have been advantageously employed in making the road. They were tried once, but they failed owing to their soon becoming sickly and unable to work. By Sir John Pakington—He thonalit it would not have been possible to have obtained hired labour for the purpose from the surrounding countries. It was, as he had before said,' quite impossible that men could be spared from the army, even to perform so important a duty as that of making the road. By Colonel Lindsay—After the failure of the first fire he advised with Lord Raglan as to the next step to be taken ; and he (witness) recomMetided that the batteries should be strengthened, and more ammunition should be brought up. The increased strength of the batteries was to be employed as soon as the fresh guns could be got into their positions. This was ono reason why he did not at that time think that it would be necessary to winter in the Crimea. Had it not teen for the bad weather and the state of the road, the batteries could have been opened sooner than they were. If soldiers had been euiployed in making :the road, they must have been taken from other pressing duties of the siege ope rations. By Lord Seymour—The whole of the military insti tutions connected with the troops in the field were in efficient. Lord Seymour—What Edo you mean by military institutions ? Sir J. Burgoyne—For instance the engineers were de ficient, they required more sappers and more officers. He thought some alterations in the organisation of the different departments of the army would be desirable. At this stage of the proceedings the room was cleared on the subject of a question put to the witness by Colo nel Lindsay, relative to the communication of the Com mander-in-Chief with the officers of the army ; and the doors were closed for about 20 minutes. On the re-admission of the public,' Lord Seymour called the attention of General Bur goyne to the evidence given by Genefal Bentinck, the Duke of Cambridge, Captain Shakspear, and Captain Wrottesley, as to the defective tools supplied to the army, particularly the bill-hooks ; and inquired whether this had come under the knowledge of the witness. General Burgoyne replied that none of the cases re ferred to bad come under his personal - knowledge. He' did not say that the tools alluded to were not bad ; they might have been, but he never saw them. The tools were suppliel by the Ordnance ; and it rested entirely with the storekeeper to whom they were consigned whether they should be retained, when sent in, or re jected. Some of the tools supplied to the Crimean army came from Malta. By Sir 3. Pakington—After the raising of the siege of Silistria he was not consulted relative to the attack upon Seba.topol. At that time he thought the strength of the Allibd Forces was scarcely adequate to such an ope ration, whatever might be the resources of Russia. Sir John Burgoyne afterwards went en to state, in reply to the chairman, that be approved of the principle on which the staff appointments were made. The ge neral staff was appointed at home ; but the personal -tall of the Commander-in-Chief was selected by the Cominander-in-Chief himself, and was composed of officers whose merits or services entitled them to that position. The staff of the Quartermaster-General apd the Adjutant-General were also appointed by the Com mander-in-Chief, and he approved of that principle en tirely. By Mr. Layard—He proceeded to Gallipoli before the troops arrived ; and preparations were made for their reception. It was usual to apportion one horse to every two men in the land transport department ; but this regulation was not carried out in the Crimea. Ammu nition, shot, and shells were brought up to the camp by means of artillery horses. It was not advisable to de pend on that mode of transport. By Lord Seymour—He went to Gallipoli to examine the site for the encampment of the troops. He was with the army throughout the whole of the winter. The troops suffered very badly from overwork. He did not think the troops suffered so much from want of food as from want of fuel. He heard no complaints of a want of clothing, though he saw numbers of the men very in sufficiently clothed. This concluded the examination of General Burgoyne; and there being no other witness in attendance, the committee adjourned (about half-past two o'clock) until to-morrow. FRENCH ARMY AND STAFF. CHESTER RACES. In reply to Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, as to the commis sion sent over by the Duke of Newcastle to inquire into the French Military Staff, &c., Mr. PEEL said he would make inquiry and state to morrow or Thursday as to whether the report of that commission had been received.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXC HEVER appealed, to the house to allow this bill to be read a third time and sent to the House of Lords this evening. Mr. SPOONER , said it was not his wish to oppose the Government on this question ; but if any debate were to take place on the Loan Bill, he must oppose the motion. The bill was then read a third time and passed. THE VIENNA CONFERENCE. - - ----- Mr. BRIGIIT wished to ask the noble lord at the head of the - Cloverninent a question, and would , detain the house but a few moments in putting it. He was not present last evening when the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) made his statementrelativeto theViennaConference, but from what he had read in the public papers, he did not think that it NM very distinct or satisfactory. He dial not put this question for the purpose of embarrassing the Government, for the noble lord knew that, for the last six weeks he (Mr. Bright) bad been exceedingly silent—(Hear, hear, and laughter) —whilst the peace negotiations were progressing. We were now, however, in a new stage of affairs, a',d he felt personally very anxious, as no doubt hundreds of thousands were besides, as to the result of those negotiations ; and he therefore wished the noble lord at the head of the Government to state distinctly what were the terms that were offered to the 11u-slat government, and wlat the Itussian , Gavernnieet had int,mated its willingness to accept ; in fact, the exact difference between the, terms proposed by the Allies and what Russia bad inti mated she would accept. He wished the noble lord to state at what period he should be prepared to furnish this information. (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said if the hon. gentleman had been present last eveni ig he would have heard his question most substantially answered. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He stated that it was the intention of the Government to lay on the table at the earliest oppor tunity, the'whole of the protocols of the Conference, and he thought they would be found to contain all the infor mation sought by the hon. gentleman. (Hear,hear.) • Mr. BRIGHT—The noble lord did not state whether any counter-propositions were made, nor did he fix any particular time when the papers would be ready. Lord PALMERSTON replied that the hon. gentle man would find the whole of the information he sout in the papers he alluded ta, which he was informed would be ready in the course of aiew days, (Hear.) THE MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. On the order of the day for the motion of Mr. Spooner on the p.ubjest of the endowment of Maynooth College, A large number of petitions were presented from various parts of the eountry against the Maynooth Grant, Mr. it was free to withdraw. The hon. gentleman then quoted the words of the late Sir R. Peel, to show that secure a more united feeling between the two nations, and more loyal subjects on the other side of the Irish Channel. He asked e% ery one who had held office under Government since that time, or those who had watched events since that period, contended that, Rsurtehlyenif r p o a se rlia t t o ,,e m nt o w ve— as ( f ‘ r T ee ha t t o this e house do resolve itself i nto 'a c ommittee, for the purrse of considering the Acts for the Endowment of the College of Maynooth , with .a view to the withdrawal of any endowment out of the Consolidated Fund, due re gard being had to vested rights or interest!." He observed that he once more ventured to bring this impr , rtant question before the house. (Laughter.) He thought that the time had now at-rivet when the settle ment of rhi4 question was necessary to the safety of the Crown, the integrity of the empire, and the happiness of the people. The question had become one of deep interest to the inhabitants of this country. He regarded the endowment of Maynooth etia greet national sin ; and he would assure the house that the doctrines inculcated at Maynooth, relative to the supremacy of the Pope, were beginning to create a great feeling of jealousy in France ; and he had it on reliable authority that a strong feeling existed on the other side of the channel against the ultraroontane doctrines which the Pope was endea vouring to force on the people of that country. Going next, to the origin of the grant he observed that it was a free gift by Parliament, and the spirit in which the grant was made—namely, to whether the object it was intended t r aecompleh hut or had not been realised. lie affirmed that it had com pieteljr laded. [LEFT SPEAKING.] , - ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE.-(BIAS DAY.) The committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour. Geneal Sir John Burgoyne waq the first witness called, and wag examined by the chairman. He stated that he had the management of the whole engineering operations before Sehaetopol. he had to He arrived tb e re with the army. When the.army arrived plan the approaches to the town and to direct the ffor mation of the trenches. They could not get one hal o of f the work done which was necessary, in consequence the weakness of the army. Before the siege operations began the communication with Ba laklava was very good. That continued up to November, when the bad weather set in, and the road became a mud-hole. It was their opinion that Sebastopol would yield to the attack of the Allies in 'a very short time after the commencement of the siege. It would have required a very large force t) have constructed the road, and the men e mployed ought to have been to some extent acquainted wit the nature of the work. A sufficient number of men could not have been spared from the army—they were all so heavily engaged in the trenches. In fact the force was scarcely sufficientto man the trenches with any degree of efficiency. It was his opinion that it was at that time more advantageous to the army that the men should be employed in the trenches rather than in making the roads. The discomfort which followed did not arise en tirely from the bad road ; it arose equally as much from the mortality amongst the baggage animals. They died off from want of care and proper attention. Chairman—Had you any complaints of the want of tools sent out ? - Sir J. Burgoyne—No complaint wag made to me on the subject. I never heard of it until I saw it mentioned in the papers. I afterwards, however, made inquiri, and the Sappers told me that th e tools they had might certainly have been of a better description. I also fd that some of the tools were of the old Peninsular oun pat- tern. Examination continued—ln his opinion the labour of the men was not impaired by defective or improperly made tools. He could not understand bow the tools could have been complained of to the extent they ha b e en. There wa s cert ainly so me little ground of objec•d tion to part of them in the respect he had mentioned, but not to the whole of them. — o ro a r t did g a l not recollect that sbeanctk. To his knowledge no complaints were made of the tools by the men. . By General Peel—The . siege operations extended over p ace of 3 miles. The covering party consisted of LAv 2 a 3 r d t a 2,0860 men, but the working parties varied in strength according to circumstances. • The covering party was When the n army landed, so far as he knew, By Mr, the army. afterwards reduced in consequence of the weakness of it was in ienurance of the amount of the Russian force in the Crimea. It was manifest that they must, at all events. receive large access - lona ; and it was therefore advisable that the siege operations should be commenced as soon as possible. By Mr. Layard—He did not make any representation to head-quarters for a larger supply of men to carry on the trench operations. He was constantly applying for men ; but the Adjutant-Genes al informed him that they could not be afforded, in consequence of the weakness of the army. He had the command of the corps of Engineers. His position in the Crimea was different to that he had held in the Peninsula in conducting siege operations. The siege operations were, however, en tirely under his control, and he considered himself the responsible person for everything connected with them. The army arrived at Ba!aklava on the 27th September, but no ground was broken until the 10th October: The troops were in the interval employed in conveying up materials and tents to the camp. At that time there were no means at the command of the army to make a road. By Lord Seymour—Tt wag not believed on the Bth November that the troops would have to winter in the Crimea ;at all events it Wll.B not - so to his knowledge. By the Chairman-When the bad weather commenced he did not think of making good the road, principally because he had not sufficient labour at his command. By Lord Seymour—One important provision which ought to have been made for wintering there was the construction of a good and available road. No consul tation was held at headquarters relative to preparations for wintering. If a number of "navvies" had then been sent out to make the road, they would have been of in finite nse L but unfortunately the idea was not thought of. In his opinion a good road would have been far e placing l p e e l them —T h e under responsibility constructing a more adapted for its purpose than the railway.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. SECOND READING. The Dursley and Midland Railway Bill was read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time :—Glossop Gas, Monmouth . Railway and Canal, Sheffield Gas, South Eastern Capital, Bridport Railway, Ratcliffe Gas ; and Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction. The Earl .of HARDWICKE moved for returns re specting the cost and conveyance of letters and news papers to An,stralia. Lord BERNERS presented several petitions from Gloucestershire praying for the closing of public-houses On Sundays. The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition from Scotland against the Maynooth grant. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented several petitions against the payment of church .rates. THE FLOATING BATTERIES. Earl TALBOT begged now to ask the Minister of War the question he had given notice of last night, with respect to the floating batteries, namely,as to who was the inventor or designer.of these floating batteries, and also whether any experiment had been made to test their strength, and also their applicability for the service for which they were intended ? Lord PANMURE paid he was unable to inform the noble earl who the inventor of the plan was. The merit of the project had, however, been tested, and the Go vernment being satisfied with the result had authorised the adoption of the plan. The Earl of HARDWICKE said the answer of the noble lord opposite was most unsatisfactory. The float ing batteries were the most unsightly vessels he had ever seen. He had been to Wool wich that day, and the opinion he had formed as to their capability was most unfavourable. The noble earl then proceeded with a scientific criticism of the project, with a view of show ing that the vessels were deficient in that most necessary quality—the power of flotation—and were consequently unequal to the functions for, which they were intended. Earl GREY complained of the conduct pursued by the noble earl, and condemned the practice of dig cussing such questions in that house. The Govern ment were wholly responsible for the works they were undertaking in connection with the war, and he therefore considered that their movements shoiild not be hampered by any scientific descriptions and cri ticisms of this character The Earl of DERBY could not think that his noble and gallant friend deserved the attack that had been made upon him. The gun-boats were now constructed and muld be seen by anybody • therefore he did not think in this case any harm could come of this discussion. If it was with a view of prevent ing the facts reaching the enemy the house might rest assured that the particulars with respect to the floating batteries were well known to the Emperor of Russia. The subject then dropped. JURISDICTION OF THE STAN BILL.NRY COURT AMENDMENT A On the motion of the Lard CHANCELLOR their lordships went into committee on this bill. The clauses were agreed to. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BILL. This bill 'with amendments was reported, and was ordered to be recommitted this day fortnight. BURIAL OF THE DEAD. ,The Earl of SANDWICH in presenting a petition from Huntingdon, praying that the law with respect to the burial of the dead might be amended, begged to ask her Majesty's Government whether any inspector bad been sent down to examine and report upon the state of the burial groun ds and vaults in that county ? The Duke of ARGYLL said the notice the noble earl had place:l upon the paper was so indefinite that there was no member of her Majes•y's Government in their lordships' house that evening that could answer it. Under these circumstances ho hoped the noble earl would repeat this question on another occasion. 'Alter, a few observations ,from the Bishop of CHICHESTER, the subject dropped. Lord VIVIAN rose to move for a return of the num ber of men and horses sent or to be sent' as reliefs or reinforcements to the cavalry now in the Crimea ; regi ments or squadrons from regiments now in this countr their y to be employed on thi s service, the of embarkation, the nam e of the transports in w hi c h these reinforcements h ave been, or are to be sent out, the return also to state whether the sailing trona the steam-vessels. The noble earl in moving for the return entered at some length into the state . and number of the cavalry now in the Crimea. Lord HARDINGE in reply to the observations o in f the e he noble earl said, the num b e r of cavalr y at present t Crimea amounted to upwards of three thousand men. (Hear, hear, and chee rs. ) Their lordships might rest perfectly satisfied that there was at this moment at home a very efficie.nt force ready to be sent out when ever they might be required. Lord PANMURE said he must object to the return, as it would be productive of no good results. After a short converoation, the motien was with drawn. In answer to the Earl of DERBY, The Marquis of-LANSDOWNE said the explanations of the proceedings at the Conference at Vienna would be laid before their lordships at the earliest possible moment. Their lordships adjourned at 20 minntes.past six. 44C 250 HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING , The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
