Those statements wore not only read and hoard in whether he was prepared to lay upon the table a copy of this house and in this country, but they were read and heard the silicial document upon which he ventured to make a elsewhere also. Honourable gentlemen ought therefore to statement most gratifying to the public in their present ex- fool the very deep responsibility that was laid upon them as cited state, viz., that at the time the latest reports were made members of that house. For his p art, he could not under there were 28,300 men under arms before Sebastopol, inde pendent of the naval brigade, m arinas, and all menin the m stand that patriotism which indulged itself In repeating what hospitals at Balaklava or elsewhere ? he believed to be exaggerated statements of the weakness of The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER need hardly ac- ear forces before Sebastopol. Ho could not understand quaint the right hon. member that in making that statement what good it was to serve, Was it supposed by any man he was acting upon returns which were not under his own that what the noble lord the member for the city of Lou control, but which had been furnished him by the military . don described as the " horrible and heart-rending" suffer departments, and ho would rather not give any answer with of the y were subjects upon which any Government respect to the production of those returns until the members t e n o g u s ld be indifferent—(hear, hear, and Ministerial cheers) — of the Government more particularly interested had had time to consider the question. Perhaps he might be permitted or that the existing wants of the army were not present to now to advert to what was stated yesterday with respect to the mind of the Government at that very moment ? Was it the order of business in the house. He thought there had not the fact that the house had insisted upon a substitution then been a general impression in the house, if he could recall of the men engaged in the supervision of the War Depart- Its right feeling, that it would not be desirable to proceed to went, for the very purpose of endeavouring to effect an al any important business until his noble friend the member teration in the existing state of things ; and was there any for Tiverton, who had accepted the office of First Lord of advantage, or any national object, to be gained by repeating, the Treasury should have had an opportunity of submitting day after day, those melancholy statements—statements himself to his constituents after vacating his seat.

A comparison had been drawn between to avoid putting the house to any inconvenience, they had the state of our army and that of the French army. He asked, was it fair to draw any such comparison ? It was not looked into that matter, and found it would be possibl e for them to make the necessary provision for the public service for him to state what was the exact position of the French provided the house would not adjourn for a longer period army ; they heard very little about that army, because it was after to _sorrow than to Friday next week. Whathe proposed, very little spoken of ; but he was certain that the condition therefore, was this—to give notice for the order of business of that army would be much worse than it was if there were for to-morrow week as follows :—The first subject to be taken in Franco opportunities of making statements like some that should be the navy estimates ; second, the army estimates ; were made in that house.

They pointed out the pregnant fact that since the year 1815 SUPPLY. this country had asserted that it was a non-military power, The house then went into committee of supply. and had tried to forget the art of war, resting upon the laurels which it had already won ; they pointed out, also, The Hon, Mr. COWPER proposed a vote of 1,615,00 01 . for that since 1815 France had been anxious to retrieve the the arrears of naval expenditure during the year 1854-55. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to know whether that was position of her army by every means in her power ; that for twenty years they had had campaigns in Algeria, as the best the total amount of the vote ? school for their army, and that the English army was at Mr. COWPER said that the total amount of the vote was 1,933,104/. that moment reaping the fruits of the experience which they (the French) had acquired under the walls of Constantino. Mr. BAILLIE could perfectly Well understand the incon venience of Ministers giving information on this subject, and, if any questions were asked, they would be perfectly justified in saying that they did not choose, or that it was inconve nient for the public service, to answer such questions. How ever, the right honourable gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a voluntary statement the other night, and that statement bad been voluntarily repeated the night before by another Minister. Now, when statements—which turned out to' bo so different from other accounts—were made by Ministers, he thought that the house had a right to ask for the grounds on which those statements were made, and that the right lion, gentleman should give some explanation. He (Mr. Mille) thought that these gentlemen had included not only British troops, but Turks under the command of Lord Raglan, as well as the wounded, because in no other way was it possible to account for the statements which had been made. He knew that there were returns at the Horse Guards which stated that there were only 10,365 moo before Sebastopol. Lord J. RUSSELL said—Sir, I do not wonder that my ' right hon. friend the Recorder of London wishes to deprecate discussions of this kind ; but there has been one statement so put forth that I do not wonder that hon. gentlemen ask for 1 dxplanations, or are surprised at the difference which exists between the reports ordinarily circulated and official state ments. Now, with respect to the statements usually put forth, I will take any number-12,000 or 14,000. I will say , that there are 12,000 mon before Sebastopol, and it is ad mitted that 54,000 have been sent out. You ask, how is it that you have only 12,000 remaining ? The house should know that this is not a fair comparison. If you take 54,000 on the one side, you ought not to take 12,000 or 14,000 ou the other. The total of 54,000 included every military man which we sent out—all the cavalry, all the artillery, every commis sioned officer and every non-commissioned officer ; every man, in short, who was present under arms, every man who was em ployed as an orderly, and every man who was engaged in any military capacity. When, therefore, you have taken away all the cavalry, all the artillery, every commissioned officer, and every non-commissioned officer, and all those employed on other duties, you have a residuum of 12,000 or 14,000 men under arms • but that is not a fair comparison of the men left out of the 54,000 sent out. You must add all those who were included in the 54,000, and you then find that you have a force of some 28,000 or 30,000 men ; and if you and 14,000 for the sick, that will account for 44,000 out of the 54,060. It is a mistake, but it is a mistake which Ido not wonder that hon. gentlemen should have fallen into, and I think that it ought to be explained to the country, that these statements are a mistake. Sir, of course, the state of our troops has been very lamentable, and I should be the last person to say that every member of this house should not feel deeply and give expression to his feelings. It happened to me yesterday to meet a civilian who had just returned from the Crimea, and I asked him whether the men were much emaciated. He said there were certainly a kreat many sick, but with regard to a great portion of the troops, who had fair constitutions, they seemed to be in the possession of strength, and ready to perform any military duty. It must not be forgotten that ours is not the only army before Sebes topol. There is a strong army of our allies there, and I be lieve that there is at least a force of 80,000 men, and it may be a good deal more, before Sebastopol. I would only say further, I have seen with great pain and concern the attacks which have been made on the gallant commander of the forces —on Lord Raglan. He is not only an experienced soldier, but a man of as much feeling for the sufferings of the troops under his command as any man who ever wore the Bri tish uniform. I trust that ho will rise clear of all the at tacks made upon him by a ribald press. (Hear, hear.) With respect to what my right honourable friend tho Re corder of London stated, the house has now before them a minister, as First Lord of the Treasury, who has had great experience in these matters—(hear, hear)—who has al ways satisfied the house, both by the declaration of opinions the most patriotic and at the same time by the adequate dis charge of his ministerial duties. Tho noble lord will be assisted by my noble friend who, I hear, has accepted the office of Secretary for the War Department. He is a perfect master of all the principles which regulate an army, and of all the details, and, I have no doubt, will turn his attention to every improvement relative to the supply of the army, and will not beinduced to adopt, under the name of improvements, innovations which may be destructive of the army, but will adopt those improvements which the science of the present day will enable them to carry out. I believe that my noble friend the Secretary of State for the War Department will be ready to act in a manner which will increase the efficiency of our army, which has suffered, not from the want of discipline nor the want of military organisation, but from the failure of the civil departments. Ido not pretend to speak as to de tails, but I know that when the Duke of York fitted out the regiments for the Peninsular war there was no want of discipline, no want of organisation, no want of an army at any time ready to sustain the reputation of the country. I cannot think, therefore, that there can be so much defect as it is the fashion to assert ; but I have no doubt that, after 40 years of peace, that organisation may have got out of use or been forgotten, It may he that, in the first year of the war, by attempting too much we have fallen into those grievous misfortunes which the country now deplores. (Hear, hear.) I feel sure that these services will be re-organised by my noble friend, and that this house will vote any money which may be re quired for the restoration of these establishments ; and I feel sure that the majority of this house will give him a cordial support, and will not be deterred by these statements, but will—of course retaining the power to interfere at any time, if they find the interests of the country require it—give the Ministry the opportunity of carrying into effect all the mea sures that may bo "required by means of the executive, with out any undue interims:nice on the part of the house. (Hear.) Mr. RICH said he was still anxious that the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have au opportunity of explanation, for he still felt that, notwith sht:inidibeneguthe explanation of the noble lord who had just sat down, there was a ‘ wide discrepancy in the statements which i stanfiate the mad e , and that the cavalry and artillery would not I: i i . i e l g n t o a t the ,u itft,s• ,ew i d..t fr ese. e :s. rence.

Mr. STUART WORTLEY ex taken part in the conversation to tone of despondency which had been assumed b-e' against tho I several hon. members. Mr. V. HARCOURT said that he had relations out with the army in the Cr imea, and he felt as deeply interested as a ny man could be on the subject. He felt tha t he should be neg l ec ting his duty if he did not say that his private letters were different to thos e which the:hon. member for Weymouth (Mr. G. Butt) had alluded to. They made many allusions to occasional hardships, to bad weather and suffering; but they all contained words not only of hope, but of confidenco of ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. On the bringing up of the report on the .Ordnanee Esi mates, . . Mr. WILLIAMS said that he had been that morning in formed by letters received from Plymouth, that a company of Sappers and Miners, lately embarked there on board the Princess Alice, had been so embarked in a state of mutiny, caused by starvation, because Captain Lyons would not. allow thorn to eat anything inside the Victualling-yard. The men came down to Plymouth by an early train, and wore marched into the Victualling-yard to wait to be embarked. Their embarkation, however, did not take place till late in the afternoon, and during the whole of this time they had no food supplied to them. When these circumstanees became known in the town, Mr. Harris, a bootmaker, and a few other re spectable men, provided them with bread and cheese and beer at an hotel. This was a case of very gross neglect. These were men on the eve of embarkation for the Crimea, and he appealed to the house if that was the way in which the brave defenders of their country ought to be treated / (Hear.) _ . Many of the poor fellows were so exhausted by their famished state that they were unable any longer to keep their feet, and were obliged to throw themselves down on the ground. Only two days sub_ equently her Majesty passed through Ply mouth on her way to Osborne. She was surrounded on her passage by all the Plymouth officers decked in their gayest uniforms ; but had she known that the people by whom she was encircled had only recently been guilty of an infamy such as that he bad just related to the house, she would have chased them from her presence with disgust. Ho should make no objection to the vote that had been proposed by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, although the greatest waste of public money had been made, and that by the most gross neglect he had ever heard of. In the vote before the house there was a sum of 649,5001. for great-coats, boots and shoes, and warm clothing for the troops, for huts for the men, stable huts, hospital huts, and other items of a like nature, and yet there was a vote in the last session of up wards of 600,0001. for the very same purposes. In fact, a sum amounting to 1,570,0001. had been spent in providing those comforts of the men. If this enormous sum had saved the life of one of those brave men he would not have objected to paying it ; but when he saw it wasted away, when he saw the comforts of the men rotting in the dock at Balaklava— (eheers)—and elsewhere, and our brave troops perishing for want of food, clothing, and shelter, he could not help feeling that there must have been gross mismanagement of the most disgraceful kind. This Ordnance department was the worst managed department in this country, bad as they all were— (hear)—and he hoped it would be included in the new Secre tary of War. The head of that department was in com mand of an army 3,000 miles off. Had he been at his office in Pall-mall, instead of in the Crimea, he (Mr. Williams) be lieved the lives of many thousands of our men, as well as the honour and character of the country, would have bean saved. Our diasters were much more to be attributed to the want of common sense and common management than to any other cause. How was it that this country could send the neces ary stores to an army 3,000 miles off, and the general commanding that army in chief could not find the means of transporting them seven miles further on I Had he taken the advice of any sergeant of the line, instead of consulting only some aristocratic officers, all' these misfortunes would have been avoided, for the commonest sergeant of the line could have told him how. Lord Raglan did nothing. He only wrote to the Admiralty in despair. Had he written to our ambassador at Constantinople, 2,000 labourers might have been immediately sent him, who would have constructed a road in 48 hours. The manner in which our brave army had been left without raiment, food, or shelter, had dis graced the nation, and lowered it hi the eyes of the civilised world. He hoped the new Glover nmenkwould act with energy and courage sufficient to remedy and remove these evils. He hoped the house also would support. them. If they would only relieve our troops effectually they would earn the thanks of the nation. He wished to know also from the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether this was money that had been ex pended or that was to be expended ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it was a vote for money to beexpended. The vote was then agreed to. EDUCATION BILL. - Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir, I rise to move for leave to bring in a bill on the subject of education. Ido not wish to enter into any explanation of the bill, or any statement with refer ence to its provisions. It is of importance, however, that the bin should be brought before the house, in order that it should be printed, and then that people in the country may see the Objects it proposes to attain. I shall, therefore, only move that the bill be now brought in. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. TAXATION OF MINES (IRELAND.) Mr. J. FITZGERALD obtained leave to bring in a bill to 4644 eilate the law for the taxation of mines - in Ireland with that__ _ s i , l'!,nlitlaud. )anti froin " l VG said this was a bill to exempt mines in Ire bad been .eoale tmEation, on the ground that !nines in England doubtful qu ,,,Z i rl , ted from time immemorial.

They were getting •nothing done, and this, motion for adjournment was only a shuffling pretext to shelter a Ministry who had been guilty of ignoranc e , who did not know where they were, nor what they should do ; but he trusted the time was not far distant when the house would send them off, never to re t ur n. (Laughter.) their. G. BUTT wished to call the attention of the Chancellor of ! xch.squer to a statement he had made in the house on a recent - ( "eeesion, which had very much cheered the people of :. their ultimate success. He (Mr. Vernon Harcourt) merely ' wished to observe that the statements in circulation were not borne out by is tally of the letters which he had seen. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—After what has 'been stater 1 so well by my noble friend behind mo with respect to the explanation of the apparent discrepancy be twoen my state tnents and the statements in the public journals, I now deem it almost unnecessary to address one word to the house, except for the specific imputation on my statement. My noble friend pointed out the differences in the mode of estimating the which nearly ly the ac t c w ou o ntsfor the .wholeoft forcehthe of th apparent PdialTeryeti * difference between state men is made to the house. Not onl y are the officers excluded, but all descriptions of so ldiers, exce p t the infantr y , but a cont Aerobic portion of the rank and file were excluded, be cant ;e habitually employed from day to day in non-military duties. But it is especially needful that I should contradict the statement of the hon. member for Inverness, who says that in the 28,000 men at. Sebastopol were included the force of the Turks and the wounded and sick. There was not included a single sick or wounded, or Turk, or other person, except a British soldier, in the calculation when I said that 28,000 were engaged in the discharge of military duty before Sebastopol. That statement was strictly true ten days ago ; but what amount of variation and changes may have arisen during those ten days, I will not enlarge upon, or speak of, without more certain information. I have no reason, however, to suppose that there has been any material, alteration. I cannot wonder, however, at statements of this kind being made in this house ; nor can I venture to com plain, seeing that the tide of public feeling runs so strong on behalf of those who justly have all our sympathies, nor can I feel surprise that anxiety so intensely felt for their suffer ings and privations—and he would be more or less than man who did not so feel—should find, or make for itself irregular channels of complaint. Ido not presume to intend to read a lecture, or to complain of any one ; but I would be t seech hon. gentlemen to place as much restraint as possible on their feelings. No one can possibly think of charging the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Weymouth (Mr. Butt), in being actuated by a spirit of party. No man in this house is capable, I am sure, of any such thing ; but when the hon. and learned gentleman says that he hears from pri vate accounts that a great disaster is at hand— Mr. BUTT—I read it in a newspaper to-day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—That is founded on private grounds. The hon. and learned gentleman states this not on his own opinion, but then it goes forth to the publio as his opinion. (Hear.) Whatever is spoken in the House of Commons gains strength from the careless and pro miscuous reader, and whatever is spoken hero is supposed by them to convey with it the views of the House of Commons, thus becomming prodnctive of great practical mischief. I would ask hon. gentlemen, therefore to use as much caution as possible, and to place as much restraint as they can on those feelings which they must naturally entertain for the fate of the army, before they give currency to statements on pri vate authority. It was perfectly natural and right for the hon. member to ask Government for information, and there can be no more useful and less dangerous, method of proceed ing than for hon. gentlemen to apply for information to official sources. Mr. G. DUNDAS said he had received a letter from an officer in the Second Division of the army in the camp, dated the 24th December, in which he stated that the four battalions, which numbered on paper 2,714 only returned 1,200 rank and file, including servants, fit for duty, and available to go into action or the trenches. Some of the mon were at Scutari, others had gone home—numbers were in attendance on the sick—but many of those soldiers would, in a shoi t time, be able to return to their regiments. ge did not take so desponding a view of affairs as some gentlemen. True, matters had been very bad. When he was at the seat of war, the mon suffered from exposure to the cold, and from the want of proper cloth ing, but since then they have received supplies ; and since the 31st December large quantities of clothing were sent up to the camp. If the men were properly clothed they would have no difficulty in resisting exposure. But one of the great drawbacks experienced by the men was the want of fuel. The men could not cook their provisions for want of fuel. He had heard at Malta that a privat3 company, Price's Patent Candle Company, had submitted to the Secretary at War an effica cious furnace, which, by the help of an expenditure of six pounds of patent composition, would not only enable the sol dier to cook, but would keep his tent warm. From the want of fuel the men were obliged to eat their rations raw, and on a piece of raw pork it could not be expected that the soldiers would be able to do their work. Of ultimate success in the Crimea he had no doubt whatever. For when two such coun tries as France and England combined nothing could possibly stop them. The business, he admitted, would be a work of time, and would cause much loss of blood. But as the noble i lord had said, that forty years' neglect of war on our part had almost made the art of war cease to be a science. In the art of war, none of those advances and improvements which had taken place in ether arts, by which they bad arrived at such a pitch of perfection, had been made. More lives had been lost, he was informed, by the bursting of our cannon than by the shot of the enemy. He trusted, however, that the indi vidual energy and the mechanical skill of the nation would be u i a exercise to remedy existing differences. He would go further into the atter at a future time. He was desirous of telling the ho what he had seen, and any information ho had been able to ck up he was ready to communicate to those who might be desirous of obtaining information. (Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR said it was right it should go to the country that every vote of money for carrying on the war had passed that house without the slightest opposition. The house adjourned at half-past six o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH WILT& The following is the address of the new Secretary of State, the Right Hon. S. Herbert : "TO TUB FLECTONS Fc)11 THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF WILTS. " Gentlemen,—Lord Palmerston has been called ipon by her Majesty, in a great public emergency, to form an Administration.

THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) WAR-DEPARTMENT, FEB. 7. His Grace tho Duke of Newcastle has received a des patch and its enclosure, of which the following are copies, addressed to his Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, Jan. 16, 1855. My Lord Duke,—l have the honour to lay before your Grace the copy of a despatch from Lieutenant-Colonel Simmons, which he wrote by desire of Omer Pasha, ex pressing his Highness's approbation of the services of Major Bent, of the Royal Engineers, and the det•lchment of Sip pers which I lent him in the summer; his regret at the loss of Lieutenant Burke, of the Royal Engineers, and his high souse of the conduct and exertions of Lieutenant Glyn, of the Royal Navy, of his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Saxo Leiuingen, and of the detachment of seamen of her Majesty's fleet, employed in the construc tion of the bridge across the Danube, the success of which he attributes in a great measure to their well-planned dis position. Colonel Simmons, your Grace will perceive, has further been desired bv Greer Pasha to say, that it would be very gratifying to - him if her Majesty should be graciously pleased to reward these officers for the able services they have rendered the Ottoman army and the common cause. I think it right to mention that the Hon. Major Gage, of the Royal Horse Artillery, was the officer who conducted these detachments to Rustchuk from Varna. I appointed him to this duty, having previously sent him to examine the armament at the former place, and being satisfied that the employment of his services on the occasion would . be advantageous. I beg your Grace will be so good as to obtain her Ma jesty's permission for Private Andrew Anderson, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, to accept and wear the decora tion of the 4th class of the Order of Medjidie, in considera tion of his distinguished gallantry.--I have, &c. , RAGLAN. _ _ His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, &c., &c., &c. (Enclolure.) Varna, January 8, 1855. My Lord,—His Highniss Omer Pasha has requested me to write to your lordship to return his best thanks for the services rendered to his army by Major Bent, of the Royal Engineers, and the detachment of Sappers under his command. His Highness desires me to express Ms regret at the losses which have been sustained by this small detach. ment, who, undef• the direction of Major Bent, have well sustained the character of the British army. His Highness has already expressed to your lordship his regret at the loss of Lieutenant Burke, of the Royal En gineers, who his Highness considers to have been an officer of much merit. His Highness desires me to inform your lordship that he has done himself the honour to write to the Turkish Am issatlor at the Court of St. James's, expressing the desire of his Majesty the Sultan that Private Andrew Anderson, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, may receive and wear the decoration of the 4th class of the order of Mejidie, in commemoration of his gallantry in recovering the body of Lieutenant Burke, after he was killed at the passing of the Danube on the 12th of July last. In the meantime he has presented Private Anderson with the decoration, and trusts your lordship will allow him to wear it until the commands of her Majesty may be received. His Highness further desires me to express to your lordship his entire approbation of the manner in which Major Bent has conducted his duties. He desires me to inform your lordship that this officer showed g reat energy in his endeavours to enter Silistria before th e siege was raised ; that he subsequently showed great gallantry at the passa g e of the Danube, when he was the first to land on the left bank, and covered the landing of the TUrkish troops with .a detachment of riflemen, who maintained their ground under a very heavy fire until the disembarkation of the supports was effected. Major Bent and his Sappers were subsequently of groat service in throwing up the tete do pont at Giurgevo, and in the construction of the bridge across the Danube. His Highness desires to take this opportunity of express ing to your Lordship his high sense of the services rendered by Lieutenant Glyn, R.N., and H.S.H. Prince Ernest of Saxe Leiningen, with the detachment of sailors of her Ma jesty's fleet under their command, in the construction of the bridge across tie Danube. His Highness considers that the success of the construc tion of this bridge is in great measure attributable to their well-planned dispositions, which, although executed with limited means, proved fully effective to resist the storms and strong currents of the Danube. • He desires me to say that he is fully satisfied with the zeal and indefatigable energy of this detachment of her Majesty's fleet under the able direction of Lieutenant Glyn, whom he considers a very promising officer, and entirely worthy of the confidence of your Lordship. His Highness desires me to add, that it would be very gratifying to him if her Majesty could in some way reward these officers for the able services they have rendered to the Ottoman army and the common cause.—l AM, &c., (Signed) J.

Loss op THE STEAM-SHIP ERIN'S QUEEN.—The re port of an inveAigation instituted by the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council of Trade on the 11th of January, with the circumstances attending the loss of the steam-ship Erin's Queen in the Bristol Channel by collision with the steam-ship Sabrina, on the 6th day of the same month, was published yesterday. It includes the report of Commander Robertson, RN., and the minutes of evidence. The inquiry commenced at the Local Marine Board, at Bristol, on Saturday, the 13th of January, and terminated on the Monday evening following. Commander Robertson reports his opinion (on this evidence), that " the collission between the Sabrina and Erin's Queen arose from a proper and vigilant look-out not being kept on board the Sabrina, there being no look-out man on, and the crew below at breakfast.' The report further com plains of the conduct of ,the chief mate, who was in charge of the deck at the time, for having put his helm hard-a-stairboord, when ho sew the EL in'a Queen °rouging him to port, or in a south-east direction (her helm baying been previously reported). "This," observes Commander Robertson ' " was clearly wrong:; he ought to have port e d his helm, in accordance with he Act of Parliament, w hi c h, h a d he done, he would, in all probability, have pawed astern, and thereby avoided the collision." The result of this report re mains to be seen.
