MACRAE/ . Ni 4 l THIo DAY- COKIN AMR. Scarcely any English wheat was on sale in to-day's mar ket. Owing to the want of supply, the business doing was limited, ant the trade was not so active as on Monday. However, hollers were very firm, and most of them re fused to sell except on higher terms. Most of thelate imports of foreign wheat have been with, drawn from sale. There was a good inquiry for all kinds. and fine parcels were held above Monday's rates. Barley was in short supply and moderate request on former terms. In the value of malt no change took place. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were steady, and quite as dear as on Monday.

The following bills were ordered to be considered and read a third time :—Cornwall Railway ; Executor and Trustee Society ; Folkestone Improvement ; Glas gow Water ; Newcastle-upon-Tyne Improvements ; Plymouth Great Western Docks ; Saint George's Har bour ; Ulster Railway. "'~~--_ NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. C. BRUCE, a new writ was ordered for Renfrew in the place of Col. Mure, who lia. accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. PETITIONS. - - Petitions were presented by Sir J. Trollope, from Lin coin, praying for the closing of all public-houses on the Sabbath ; by Mr. Hadfield, from Independent ministers in Lancashire, against grants for any religious denomi nations ; also, a petition in favour of education on the voluntary principle ; by Lord H. Vane, two petitions from Darlington, for the abolition of church rates ; by Mr. Walpole, from the Scotch Presbyterian Church, London-wall, against the Marriage Bill. EDUCATION (No. 2) BILL. On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. PAKINGTON rose and said he had not in tended to offdr ary observations on this stage of the bill, but be believed the object of the bill was very much misunderstood, and he therefore hoped he might ask the favourable attention of the house to a measure which it might be thought presumptuous in him to bring in,' but which he bad at all evelit3 introduced with singleneis of purpose. His great object was to provide extended and religious education to the population of this country on the most complete system of toleration with regard to the great principle of liberty of conscience. The machinery of the bill would be conducted by grants of public money, to be expended by local boards duly responsible to this house. He had to make one earnest appeal to the house to give their vote for the bill on those great prin ciples without respect to matters of detail, which could be only fitly discussed at a subsequent stage of the bill. All the existing schools in this kingdom were connected either with the Church of England or the great denomi national bodies of the country. The population had during the last half-century increased wonderfully ' • but it was undeniable that the Church bad failed to keep pace with their religious instruction, and if the dissenting denominations bad not stepped in that population would be in a far worse state of igno rance than' unfortunately they now were. (Hear.) He did not think it necessary now to detain the house further than to move that the bill be read a second time. Mr. HENLEY rose to move an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day six months. It was because he felt most deeply that if the house were to affirm this bill, the result would be not only that it would not extend education at all, but most of all that it would not extend religious education. (Hear, hear.) He believed the question they had now to decide was whether they should foster the great principle of volun tary education in this country—(hear)—or by an experi ment at this sort throw back indefinitely the progress already made by that system. The bill would, moreover, be attended with an enormously increased amount of taxation. (Hear, hear.) He thought there was one evil at the root of this question, which was not sufficiently kept in view. He did not think that was education which merely taught a person to read and write, to do some sums in arithmetic, to tell the reign ing sovereigns of the world, or the geographical position of various countries. What he regarded as education was a system that would reach the heart ; that would teach a person to knew and do his duty to God and man, and thereby be enabled to go through life as a good Christian, and a good citizen. (Hear, hear.) He ,be lieved that, comparing the'people of this country, in re spect to education and morality, with any other people in the world, short as had been our means, they would be found at least equal if not superior to most other na ions. He believed there never was a time when they could look with greater satisfaction to the state of our institu tions than the present. He did not deny that there was much ignorance and crime that he could wish to see re moved ; but he believed that, do what we would, there would be always some crime and some ignorance, and he also believed that this bill would not be effectual in removing either crime or ignorance. The first point in which he differed from his right hon. friend was as to the number of children attending schools. By the census it appeared that there were 2,140,000 children attending day schools, and about 2,400,000 attending Sunday schools. Mr. Horace Mann said there ought to be 3,000,000 of children attending school ? The real ques tion was, why were not those children attending school ? He believed it was not for want of schools. (Rear.) Mr. Mann had omitted one important element in his calculations, and that was owing to the great distance at which many of them lived from school. (LEFT SPEARiNG.) ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE.-(THIS DAY.) The committee re•assembled this morning at the usual hour. Mr. Grant, late Comptroller of the Victualling and Transport Departments, was the first witness called, and was examined by Lora Seymour. lie stated that he had held the latter of the above-men tioned offices until the formation of the transport board, H l3 having i h n a g d r e b t e ln e d initt u h t s o u t v h i a c t e t o i f m e si t he n c A e d m t r e a y l t e y a r fo l r B 51. 40e years. He then proceeded to point out the mode in which tenders were received and examined by the vic tualling department. When the tenders were opened in the board-room, the samples sent in were in sp-ctecl, aid the best were selected without any consideration as to the lowness of the terms proposed, the quality of the goods being taken as the criterion of preference. After . the samples had been selected they were sealed up by the proper officers and were afterwards compared with the bulk. It was not the duty of any particular person to examine the salt provisions. The mode was to examine one or , two casks, and if found to be sweet the whole cargo was retained ; but if it was discovered on inspection of one i or two casks that the contents were in the slightest de gree tainted, the whole was condemned and rejected. Of all the supplies forwarded by the victualling depart. ment to the army in the Crimea, he had never received , a single complaint. If a complaint had been made to any person in authority at home, he must have heard of it. This remark applied to the provisions. Tile first supply of port wine sent out, however, was complained of. The quantity consisted of 100 dozens. Mr. Layard—Can you state to the committee what quantities of provisions you sent out to the Crimea ? The witness replied that he could, and proceeded to read an account of the various items of the provisions supplied to the army since the 26th April, 1854. The principal of them were :—Salt beef 4,000,000 I bs., salt pork 5,000,000 lbs., roasted coffee 216,000 lbs., raw coffee 2,139 lbs., sugar 1,250,000 lbs., rice 7,000 lbs., port wine 2,400 dozens, brandy 971 gallons, sago 6,732 lbs., oatmeal 1,434 lbs., Scotch,barley 16,479 lbs., preserved beef 470 tons, dried vegetables 1,650,000 lbs., lemon juice 46,943 lbs. By Lord Seymour—The port wine he referred to as having been complained of was landed, he believed, at Varna. The medical officers found fault with it, and it was returned home. He at once sent down to the'Cap tain Superintendent at Deptford, who reported to him in reply that the wine was good. That officer had the sole control and authority in purchasing wine, and he stated in the report in question that the hun dred dozens complained of was "sound and fruity,", and he could not account for the cause of its condemnation. No wine was purchased until a sample of it had been submitted to Dr. Andrew Smith.. The amount paid for the wine was not less than 255. without the " drawback." As much as 40s, per dozen had been paid for it, but then it should be remem bered that the wine was good and old. Before the ship ment of any supplies proper care was taken to ascertain that the quantity agreed with the sample and contract. The master of the vessel required a receipt for the goods and a certificate that they had been put on board, both of which documents were transmitted to the Admiralty, and afterwardb to him (witness). Since the war it had been found requisite to appoint a store-receiver at Ply mouth and Deptford, and those officers were responsible for all the expenditure relative to the contracts for pro visions. He constantly kept the Minister for War in formed what contracts bad been entered into, and what ships were employed to carry them to the East. [LEFT BITTING.] LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The committee re-assembled yesterday morning at the usual hour. _ . General Sir John Burgoyne was the first witness called, and was examined by the chairman. Ile stated that he had the management of the whole engineering operations before Sebastopol. He arrived there with the army. When the army arrived he had to plan the approaches to the town and to direct the for , illation of the trenches. They could not get one half of the work done which was necessary, in consequence of the weakness of the army. Before the siege operations began the communication with Balaklava was verjgood. 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 Aides in a very short time after the commencement of the siege. It would have required a very large force have constructed the road, and the men employed ought to have been to some extent acquainted with the nature of the work. A sufficient number of men could not have been spared fiom the army—they were all so heavily engaged in the trenches. In fact the force was scarcely sufficient to 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 nover heard of it until I saw it mentioned in the papers. I afterwards , however, made inquiri es , end the Sappers told me that the tools they hal might certainly have been of a better description. I also found that some of the tools were of the old Peninsular 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 how the tools I could have been complained of to the extent they had been. There was certmnly some little ground of objec tion to part of theta in the respect he had mentioned, but not to the whole of them. By Mr. Lai and—He did not recollect that the tools sent out in 1823 to Portugal were condemned and sent back. To his knowledge no complaints were made of the toe's by the men. By General Peel—The siege operations extended over a space of 3 miles. The covering party consisted of 2,000 men, but the working parties varied in strength according to circumstances. The covering party was afterwards reduced in consequence of the weakness of the army. When the army landed, so far as he knew, it was in ignorance of the amount of the Russian force in the Crimea. It was manifest that they must, at all events, receive large accessions ; 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-General 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 Balaklava 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 read. By Lord Seymour—lt was not believed on the Bth November that the troops would have to winter in the Crimea ; at all events it was 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 use ; but unfortunately the idea was not thought of. In his opinion a good road would have been far more adapted for its purpose than the railway. Lord Raglan had power to depute officers to inquire into the best means of providing for the care of the baggage animals by placing them under cover, and to direct them to report to him (witness), but it was not done. By General Peel—The responsibility of constructing a road devolved upon the Quartermaster-General, but he derived all the assistance he could from the Engineers. Sir J. Burgoyne examined by Mr. Layard—He made no representation or remonstrance to the Quartermaster- General relative to the road. He did not think the 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—lle thought it would not have been possible to have obtained tined labour for the purpose from the surrounding countries. It wa,4, as he led 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 Lind.ay—After the failure of the first fire he advised with Lord Raglan as to the next step to be taken ; and he (witness) recommended 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 one reason why he did not at that time think that it would be necessary to winter in the Crimea. Had it not been for the Lad weather and the state of the road, the batteries could have been opened sooner than they were. It soldiers had been employed 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 effiAent. Lord Seymour—What do 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 Corn. wander-iu•Uhief 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 voyne to the evidence given by General Bentinck, the Duke of Cambridge, Captain Shakspear, and Captain Wrottesley, 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 had coin; 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 I were supplied 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 J. Pakington--After the raising of the siege of Silistria he was not consulted relative to the attack upon Sebastopol. At that time he thought the strength of the Allied Forces was scarcely adequate to such an ope ration, what ever might be the resources of Russia. Sir John Burgoyne afterwards went on to state, in reply to the chairman, that he 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 Commander-in-Chief himself, and was composed of officers whose merits or services entitled them to that position. The staff of the Quartermaster-General and 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.

The following important and interesting informa tion is contained in a letter just received from a captain in th e R oya l E ngineers, in a letter which is dated the 9th of April. It may be stated that the officer in question is one of the three superior Engineer officers upon wh om i t w i ll devolve to take a leading part in the assault upon Sebastopol. He says : "On the extreme right of the Russians, and consee quently oppo se d to our extreme left, is a bastion, , called by the French th e B astion Du mat, and b y nsth e Flag staff Bastion, ow i ng to its having, when we first cam e, a flagstaff i n t h e salient. Thisn bastion is one large battery, or rather succession of batteries , and the French left attack is p r i nc i pally directed against ' it. Next come what are call e d t h e Garden Batteries, which are a succession of batteries in three tiers, and very powerful batteries they are, well supplied with 13-inch mortars, of which our left attack reaps the entire benefit. It was one of the shells from these b atteries that wounded Armit yesterday. We oppose these batteries with the right pertion of the French left attack and the left por. tion of the Englieli left attack. Next comes the creek that rans up towards us, in which the Russians put ships that can fire on our camp. Then comes the Barrack Battery, a most powerful assemblage of cannon, against which the principal force of the English left attack is directed. We have the battery all to ourselves, as we get the entire benefit of its fire. Next comes the Redan, con sisting of two faces, one of which is directed against our left attack and the other against our right (I mean the English right). You must know that the English left attack and the English right attack join each other and form the centre of the entire attack, the French left at tack being on the left of us, and their attack on the right of ours, iecluding Inkerrnan and all that part. Well, to prhoceed. Next to theßedan comes the MalakhoffTower, w w he e r ie is the key of the whole position, and the spot e f ga a n l i l t willthe be e oth n e la r the rear of assault de b . att l e t rie ie s, obtain possessio n of it e considerably that i f we to e their other defences in the rear.

It was always considered our weak point. About five weeks ago the Russians made a lo a gi n g ,habout half -way between the t 'ever and the Mainele. them out of this, and failed. sin e French tried to drive have advanced on the Manaelon itself,eethat the Russians and, ta. in spite of all the efforts of the French, h ave constructed on it a battery of •13 large g r u e ns ined it, and " My principal duty here is to be in the trenches. w There are four captains to tak e command of thework s, each of whom remains 24 hou rs d own there, so that e m; turn comes one day in four. W e h ave a subaltern under us, who only stays 12 hours, so that I remain through two reliefs of subalterns. The working parties are re lieved every eight hours. "Now, as our advanced works are within 700 yards of the main batteries of the place, and they keep up a constant fire on our working parties, you can ima gine how harassing this work sometimes is. No man, be he ever so brave, can stand under fire for so long a time, inactive so far as fighting is concerned, without finding it a great wear and tear to his nerves. The first hour is the worst, as after that one gets more used to it. The Russians treat us to a pleasing variety in the way of projectiles. First comes the round shot of all size, which rushes past you with a shriek something like a railway whistle badly blown. Next comes the grape, which flies slower and round, like a covey of strong birds, flying very swiftly. Then comes a gunshell, which approaches like a round shot, but has the pleasing trick of bursting when it reaches you ; so that you have to run a double risk—first of the shot itself, and then of the pieces. Next comes the mortar-shell, which, though it is really the worst of all the large projectiles, I somehow dread the least ; it remains in the air for nearly half a minute, and in the night you can see it quite plainly, owing to its bearing the fuse. It glances along very gracefully, rising to a great height, and making a gentle whistle every now and then like a peewit or plover, which be comes louder and louder till it drops. Although you can see it all the way, it is a most difficult thing to tell where it will fall ; and none but the oldest hands (men of whom it is said that they have got so inured to fire that a cannon ball would hop off the pit of their stomachs) can really make a good guess as to where they will drop. What-makes it worse than a gun shell is that the former flying so low retains its impetus, so that if it is once past you before it bursts all the pieces will continue to fly for ward and you are safe. Whereas as the mortar shell is pitched as high as it will go into the air, and then drops, the pieces have no other impetus than what the bursting charge gives them to fly in every direction for a radius of upwards of 200 yards, a nd somet i mes consider ably more. B u t my greatest horror of all, and the dead liest foe we have, is the Russian rifle bullet. It is not so perfect as ours, but, as Mercutio says, It will do well enough.' I will give you a sketch of it the size of life. (Here is given an admirable pen-and-ink sketch of the bullet, which is, like the English, conical.) This little gentleman gives you no warning, but flies about all day long, and ranges 1,200 yards. At a quarter of that distance it will go through two men. "You ale nie my opinion about the siege. In the first place, I feel great diffidence in speaking about it, having had no previous practical knowhdge of the subject. Then, again, our itArtnation concerning the resources of the en,rny inside the town so uncertain and so contra dictory, that one has no guile to go upon. No one who has seen the awful strength of the defences, stretching as they do completely round this side, with tiers of batteries and intrenchmenti one behind the other, and frequent salient points flanking the entire line, and bringing a tremendous crossfire upon every point, but must feel that an assault now will be attended with far greater carnage than it would have been six months since. And yet that assault must be made, and, in my humble opi nion, within the next ten days. God grant that it may be successful, for on it will depend the safety of the en tire army. I know that the assaulting columns are told off; and the engineer officer who has to lead them, but it is kept secret. There are at the present moment in the left attack only three engineers between whom it will lie, for it will be a captain, and one of our captains was wounded three or four days ago. The chances are there fore two to one against it being me ; but if it is I shall, I hope, do my duty, and it I survive I shall have certain promotion. Anyhow, we shall all get a clasp for the business, and it is one that must be done sooner or later. " lam very glad that our present harrassing work is drawing to a clo: , e. Since we have brought our approaches so much nearer the enemy our engineering casualties have greatly increased, and within a fortnight, out of a strength of 32 engineers, only 23 of whom did trench duty, and were under fire, we have had two killed, two wounded, and one taken prisoner. The weakest point in the Russian line is most undoubtedly the Malakhoff Tower, and this they have lately strengthened by esta blishing forts and constructing a most formidable bat tery on the Mamelon-hill, so called from its round and knoll-like appearance. I fancy this will be the point of the main assault, though I inakeuo doubt we shall assault in many other places. We shall then push on and try to enter the tower works with the retreating Russians. Once within the tower, we shall seize all the rest of their lines in reserve, and the south side of the town must be our Then comes the problem ; for the north side is a still more powerful fortress than the south, and, unless the fleet can help us, we shall be completely under their fire, and unable to retain possession of the place. Time, however, the disposer of all events, will show, and in the meanwhile we had better set our houses in order, and prepare to do our duty, as all Englishmen should. " I must add a line, before closing my letter, to inform you that the whole of the batteries of the allied armies opened fire this morning. Most unfortunately, all last night and to-day it has been blowing a fearful storm from the south-west, accompanied by torrents of rain, and the trenches, the batteries, the roads, and the camp are alike one vast swamp. You can have no conception of the quantity of rain that has fallen during the last 24 hours, and, as it is showing no sign whatever of abate ment, there is no guessing what will be the end ofit. i.
