The Royal Assent was given by commission to the following bills, viz.:—the Exchequer Bills (17,183,0001.1; the Common Law Procedure (Ireland) Bill ; The MU tiny Bill ; the Marine Mutiny Bill ; Tea Duties Decline Suspension Bill ; the Secretaries and Under-Secretaries of Btato Bill. The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Lord Monteagle. Their lordships then adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. Lord SHAFTESBURY presented petitions from Nottinghant and other places, praying for the closing of public-houses during the whole of the Sabbath. Lord MONTEA.GLE moved for a continuance of the return of penny s.amps issued to the different newspa pers up to the sth of January, 1855.—Agreed to. The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from Bristol, praying that the war might be prosecuted with the utmost vigour. THE HORSES SHIPPPED TO THE EAST. The Earl of ALBEMARLE moved for a return of the number of horses shipped to the seat of war by her Ma jesty's Government in sailing or steam transports, for military purposes, during the year 1854 ; the amount of the tonnage of, and the number of horses conveyed in, each vessel ; the number of horses that died on the pas sage, or were rendered unserviceable in each vessel ; and the average expense of the conveyance of each horse. The noble lord stated that his object in bringing forward this subject was, if possible, to persuade the Minister of War to desist from the present method of shipping horses, and, at least, to give a trial to the plan adopted at Hull. He contended that the system of shipping horses at present pursued by the Government was the worst that could be by any possibility adopted. The horses suffered immensely from the cruelty ; it was a loss to the country, and utterly unneces sary for the sevices required. The difference be tween the system pursued by the Government and that at Hull was in two points--the one was thatthe cavalry horses were only allowed a width clear, while the horses shipped at Hull were allowed 3or 4 feet. It might be supposed that by giving double the space to each horse there would be a doable expense. He thought he would be able to show satisfactorily to their lordships that the expense attending the Hull system would be one-third less to the Government. The other points of difference were that the cavalry horses were never allowed to lie down. It signified not what the length of the voyage was, the horses were never allowed a moment off their legs. In considering the expenses of the system followed by Go vernment, there was, first of all, a platform to be erected, upon which the horses were to stand, upon which were raised pillars, posts, and rails, and each horse found itself wedged in between the rails so tightly that it was hardly able to move. The Government were also put to great expense in the purchase of sheepskins and other contrivances to prevent the horses from being chafed by friction. When It was considered how many horses died on the passage through the treatment they bad received, he thought that this of itself was a fact greatly in favour of th Hull system. The noble earl then referred to the r -sults of the system under which a greater space was given for hi rses on ben r I, and accommodation afforded them for lying down, and proceeded to show that, taking all things into consideration, there would positively be a saving to the Government and the country of more than one-third of the expens 3 that they were sulject t) under the present system. The noble earl then concluded by stating that the best p'aces for embarking bosses, wa s Falmouth and Plymouth, as none of the difficulties be alluded to there existed. The Earl of LUCAN considered ten tons per horse quite sufficient. The noble lord said that tie Jones that the noble earl had alluded to was greatly exagge rated. Nothing could be more perfect than the present Government system of steam-transport. The horses con veyed by the Himalaya, the Jason, and other steamers bore strong evidence in favour of it. He believed that 1 per cent. would be much above the loss. [Lxrr SITTING.] 11.01JSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING. The SPX/M took the chair shortly before four o'clock. NEW MEMBER.

SOLDIERS' WIVES, ;!of Mr. Layard—Are you acquainted with the Hull mode Mr. fitting up ships for the conveyance of horses ! liINNAIRD asked the Under Secretary for '' Mr. Mackay replied that he was not personally—but MITTEE-- (THIS DAY.) ha had ben Wormed it was an usallsat plan, and sae of great safety. Mr. Layard—Did you make any proposal to the Go- vernment to feed the troops in the Crimea! Mr. Mackay—We did. Our tender was to provision the troops at 3s. 6d. per day per man ; giving each man per diem a pound of bread, a pound of beef or pork cooked, a quarter of a pound of preserved potatoes, which would be equal to a pound of raw. They would also have given a weekly supply of 3oz. of tea, 3oz. of coffee, 11b. of sugar, 11b. of cheese, 4 gill of pickles, 2oz. of salt, !,,oz. of mustard, besides 4 pint of ale a day, and k gill of spirits. They would have done all this, and reaped a reasonable profit, A they had been in the habit of victualling emigrant ships. They would have been able to accomplish this with four -vessels of 1,200 tons burden continually employed. The Chairman—You would not have kept your transports in the harbour for six weeks ? (Laughter.) Mr. Mackay—Oh, no ! They would go backwards and forwards as quickly as possible. Cross examination continued—He undertook to deliver them at the camp. He hnd an objection to say publicly what means be should have adopted to cook the p)tat,tes and other things. He found that preserved meats and vegetables kept un commonly well, especially the latter ; and by his Wan they could feed men in the Crimea at almost as cheap a rate as they could live at home. He should have accomplished this by means of a continual line of ships running to and fro. He tendered two va sels to the Transport•board, for the conveyance of horses ; but, on arriving at Cheapside, he was told he was too late. He was, however, told to put his tender into a box, and after running down stairs and into the clerk's office to find where his tender had got to, he at last met with it and placed it in the box, which was then taken by the messenger into the boardroom. But although he was only two minutes behind the spe cified time for sending in his tender, he was informed that he was too late, and that there was no help ler it. Mr. Layard—Did you recommend the adoption o hospital ships to the Government ? Mr. Mackay—They did ; but none were to his know ledge fitted out. In reply to Lord Seymour, Mr. Mackay stated that they made the tender to supply provisions when the bad weather had set in, and when so much had been heard about the bad state of the road from Balaklava. They had well considered where they could obtain their sup plies. If there bad been no means of landing stores at Balaklava he should have gone to Kantiesh Bay. Mr. Green (of the firm of Messrs. Green, shipowners, Blackwall) stated that three of their vessels were char tered by the Government, their names being the Northumberland, the Resolute, and the Walraer Castle. The first and last of these were chartered at 30s. per ton, and the other at 255. They were all employed as trans ports for horses, and were fitted up on the Admiralty plan. If he had been fitting out the vessels on their own account he should have adopted that plan—and not the Hull mode for a short voyage, and he considered the voyage to the Crimea was a very short one. He thought a single bar separating the animals was a suffi cient protection. The Chairman—Why do you prefer that plan to the Hull system ? Mr. Green—Because it accommodates more horses. Hai no difficulty with the Admiralty as to the contract or filling of the vessels. They were chartered by their register. The Resolute was detained five weeks at Balaklava. Mr. Layard—l believe the Resolute was lost in the storm ? Mr. Green—She was. Mr. Layard—Did you effect your own insurances on those vessels ? Mr. Green—l did. Mr. Layard—Have you applied to the Government for compensation for the loss of the Resolute Mr. Green—l have, but only recently, on the ground that she was sacrificed ; the captain not being allowcd to take care of her. Examination continued by Lord 'Seymour—He be- lieved all the horses were conveyed without casualty. The Reso!nte took 50, and the Northumberland 48. They had nothing to do with the provisioning of the horses. That was undertaken by the Admiralty. It was only two days ago that he had applied to the Go vernment for the loss of insurance on the Resolute. Mr. Macdonald, of the Times, was then recalled, and was examined by the chairman. He stated that he was sent out to administer the charitable fund raised by the Times by an appeal t,) the sympathy and liberality of the British public. That fund was placed in his hands for distribution, and for the relief of the wants which it had been front time to time repot ted existed amongst oursick and wounded at Scutari. When he got out there, though these wants presented a sonievvhat milder aspect than had been stated, they still exited. The Government had a better opportunity of administering to these wants, as they had ambassalors and agents in the East, and could have commanded the markets ; whereas he had to discover everything, and, in fitct, to worm out, in the first instance, what were the real necessities most required. He had letters of recommendation] to !various authorities, amongst them to Dr. Menzies. Chairman—Did he afford you any facilities fur ad ministering your fund Mr. Macdonald—No, he did not. Chairman—Al he obstruct you ? Mr. Macdonald—ln fact not. But I was met with obstacles placed indirectly every way. I was informed by Dr. Menzies that there were no wants. Examination resumed—He found, however, that there were wants existing. A few articles were pur cliased in England before he went out, but others from Constantinople. That town contains about one million of inhabitants, and there were markets, so that the hos pitals might have been supplied on the spot. He wished the committee to know that the French provided stocks of different articles, so that when one was out they could fall back upon another ; but we had no system of that kind. At the same time, most, if not all, that was re quired might have been derived from the locality. Miss Nightingale and her staff of ladies had arrived two days before he did, and he should say she was obstructed in her benevolent object. The medical officer, he knew, having authority, refused.to accept his supplies, although these supplies, which were much required, were not ob tained elsewhere. The nurses, too, whom Miss Nightin gale offered were not accepted to the extent they might have been. He had tasted ithe port wine sent out by the Government, and certainly it was not genuine—in fact it was not port wine at all. By Mr. Layard—He bad visited the bazaars in Con stantinople, and cuuld say that everything which was required might have been procured in them. The houses in Constantinople were constructed of wood, but that article there he believed was not very plentiful. He did not know whether sufficient planking might have been obtained to have erected large huts for the recep tion of the sick and wounded. There was plenty of room around the hospital in which such huts might have been erected. Mr. Layard—Where were the French stores kept ? Mr. Macdonald—They had an hospital ship, on board which all parcels directed to Constantinople were sent. They also had an hospital on the hill, to which their stores were carried. All stores addressed to us passed through the custom-house at Scutari ; but they were discharged there without being apparently consigned to the care of anybody, and the packages frequently, therefore, be came broken open an lost. He had seen parcels of preserved meats and other good things, addressed to officers broken, and their contents lying scattered a b o ut in all directions. The French hospital was much more strictly looked after than ours, and an order had to be applied for before it could be entered by a stranger. Mr. Layard Were there any soldiers' wives at Scutari ? Mr. Macdonald—Nothing can convey to the com mittee the state in which the soldiers' wives lived at Scutari. In one small room he saw at one time as many as 45 of them, some with children, all huddled together in a small, dark, dirty room, which could not be com pared to a room in one of the very worst lodging houses in the metropolis before the Lodging-House Act came into operation. Some improvement had been made iu their condition, however, before he left by the exertions of Lady Olivia Blackwood, who took much interest in them. Mr. Layard—Was any attempt made to organise them as nurses, or to turn their labour to some useful account ? Mr. Macdonald—Any attempt to hare done so would have been futile, as the effect the war had had upon their minds, combined with other circumstances, ren dered them totally unfit for any beneficial empleyment. Examination continued by Mr. Layard—During the Taco of four months the hospital had six changes ; first, there was Dr. Menzies ; then a period during which Dr. Cumming acted under orders from Lord Raglan ; then Dr. Forrest came down from the Crimea ; then Dr. Forrest fell ill, and Dr. Pennell took his place ; then Dr. erailtshank ; afterwards Dr. Lawson ; and, finally, Dr. Ctiintnin,g Macdonald, in continuation, said—Supposing he had e.thsider-d it his duty to make any repre,en.tiou a 4 to the st:e of the hospital, he ghoul I have go❑e to the Ambassador, and not to the medic3l head. The two ho3pital hulks had a medical staff of their own, but werc slit I under the a ithoi ity of the hospitals on snore. The trail port s: stem fur the sick was not a special of e. Thu operation of landi❑g was under the disposal of Ad miral Boxer ; but during the passage, and previous t•i landing, the were under the direction of the medical officer t f the vessel. Mr. 1 4 .;ilicc—Who;c duty •ae it to supply food Sail comforts t 9 the sick and woun led on board the trari sport,, after their a►rival in the Bo iphorus, and before they were landed ? Mr. Alacdonald—Food was supplied by the captain of the vessel under the authority of the Admiralty ; and mJdical comforts and medicines were distributed by the medical department ; so that, in fact, it was necessary that the authorities of two departments should interfere in the matter. Mr. Layard—When the sick were placed in the hos • Ntr_K i __LONDON) 'RUM! EVENIT/A t MARCTLia, tear, pithlo, to *hem applivitionto be mikie far bedding and other neoemepriest. _ Mr. Macdonald—The purveyor was the person. Mr. Layard—Will you be kind enough to explain to the committee your own mode of proceeding whilst you were at Scutari! Mr. Macdonald then entered into a detailed statement of the course he pursued with regard to the purchase and administration of necessaries and comforts to the sick and wounded, stating that in his exertions be was ma terially assisted by the co-operation and kind offices of Miss Nightingale. He added that he supplied one regi ment (the 39th) with warm clothing on the application of the surgeon of that regiment. He obtained that clothing at Constantinople. The surgeon stated that it would be a charity to the men it the clothing were given to them, as they had come from a warm climate without any provision in the way of clothing for a colder tem perature. He (Mr. Macdonald) obtained the supply at Constantinople, and got it on board the next day. He never supplied any other regiment or persons going to the Crimea. He did, however, contribute medical com forts, bedding, Turkish quilts, and other articles, to the convalescents proceeding borne in Government trans ports, on the application of the Rev. Mr. Sabine. By Mr. Lays rd—Can you state what was the style of cooking in the hospital s ? Mr. Macdonald—Th e provision fur this was of the modest pissible kind, and there was a great deal of delay and irregularity in getting meals prepared and served up. For instance, it a mutton chop were ordered fur a patient at one o'clock, it would uot, perhaps, be ready before eight o'clock at night. By Colonel Lindsay—He knew of several persons having been asked by the sentries what there business was at the hospitals. But he had never been interfered with in that manner ; yet he could not say why. He believed that iv some hospitals it was net the custom to admit strangers. By Lord - Seymour—He thought it advisable that strangers should have had admission at any time with out auy formalities. Before he went out he had an inter view with the Duke of Newcastle and Dr. Andrew Smith ; from the latter of whom he got a letter of intro duction to Dr. Cumming, and was also informed that no strangers were admitted to the hospitals except at certain times to see a patient, or to inspect it ; but, in either case, they must be accompanied by some official of the establishment. He was further told the same facility, compatible with these regulations, would be extended to him as a matter of course. On his arrival he called upon Dr. Menzies, and informed him that he had come out with money for the relief of the sick and wounded ; at the same time requesting facilities for the fulfilment of that object. Dr. Menzies was ♦ery polite, but said that nothing was wanted. (A laugh.) Lord Seymour—Where did you obtain the port wine you supplied to the patients in the hospitals ? Mr. Macdonald—ln Constantinople. Lord Seymour—Theo there was good wine to be ob tained there ? Mr. Macdonald--Certainly. Mr. Ball—When you saw the Duke of Newcastle did ho attempt to dissuade you from going in any way ? Mr. Macdonald—He said it would be useless; at least that if anything was wanted in the hospital the ambassador would supp'.y it. Mr. Drummond—Can you give the committee any idea of what has become, in your opinion, of the vast quantities of stores which have been sent from this country to the East ? Mr. Macdonald —ls it quite certain that they have all left this country ? (Laughter.) If the committee asks me nay own explanation of the confusion in the trans port service I can answer them. In Turkey there is a want of three great requisites, wharves, warehouses, and roads. The Government being unacquainted with the absence of these great facilities send out giant steamers across the ocean to Constantinople and Balaklava ; and the consequence is when they arrive they are converted into store-houses. What is absolutely required is taken out of them and the rest is left behind in them and for gotten. It is just as though one end of London bridge bad given way and the traffic was allowed to pass over it all the same—there was a smash at the other end.

DOWNING-STREET, 31.1.uc1l 14. 1r The Queen has been pleased to appoint J. Warrington Rogers, Esq., to be Solicitor-General for the colony of Van Diemen's Land, and William Dallas Bernard, Esq., to be Deputy Commissary-General for the island of Ceylon. Her Majesty has also been pleased to appoint Charles Fisher, James Brown, William Johnston Ritchie, Samuel Leonard Tilley, William Henry Steves, John Mercer Johnson, junr., and Albert James Smith, Esqrs., to be Members of the Executive Council of the Province of New Brunswick. Mr. Drummond—What do you think then became of such stores as were sent out l_ _ Afr. Macdonald—A greatdeal of them was wasted, a little was stolen, aad a quantity was misplaced and lost sight of. After replying to a few further questions Mr. Mac donald retired with the thanks of the committee.

WILT if ay ordo bAti bus soot, sailor to Constuttoopio or to Routsrl, to send hems those soldiers' wives whose sarvices are not required as nurses or laundresses ; also, if any measures have been taken to provide proper ac commodation in the barracks about to be erected at Dover and elsewhere for the wives of soldiers wi.e are permitted to marry ? Mr. PEEL replied in the negative to the first ques tion. With regard to the second, the plan of the bar racks at Dover had not yet been settled. BROWN BESS. Mr. HORSFALL asked the Under Secretary for War whether it is a fact that the 6th Regiment of Foot, now under orders for the Cape, are about to be sent out with no other Erelock than the old Brown Bose. Mr. PEEL said it was a mistake to suppose that the 6th Regiment of Foot was now under orders for the Cape, because that regiment had been in service in the Cape for some years. It was armed with the percussion musket, and the detachment new about to be sent out to join it would be armed in the same way. SOLDIERS' KNAPSACKS. Mr. BERESFORD asked the Under Secretary for War whether a knapsack, known as "Brady's Patent," and condemned at Chobliam by a committee of officers commanding regiments, were not authorised by the late Secretary at War for the use of the militia, and a great number of them issued accordingly, notwithbt.inding that a knapsack of a different pattern is established to the regular army ? Mr. PEEL said it was optional with the colonels of militia regiments to select what knapsack they thought hest suited to their men. STAMPED ENVELOPES. Mr. T. DUNCOAIBE asked the Secretary of the Treasury when it was likely that the public would be able to obtain stamped sheets of paper and private enve lopes for free transmission by post. Mr. WILSON said instructions had been given to the Board of Inland Revenue to make the necessary ar rangements for issuing stamped paper and envelopes, and in about two months he expected such arrangement would be completed. The public would have 101. worth of stamped paper issued to them for the duty, but par ties requiring paper to be stamped for a less amount, would have to pay ls. beyond the duty. FLErrE R. CARRI E RS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE called the attention of the hon. member to the fact, that his promises, on the part of the Government, that the recommendations contained in the Report on the Post-office, relative to the letter carriers of the metropolis, should be speedily carried out, remain unfulfilled. Mr. WILSON said steps had been taken for carrying out the recommendation at once, and a notice on the subject would be issued to-morrow. THE BUDGET. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he intended to make his finaccial state ment before Easter ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there were several reasons, ene of which was the period at which the financial year would terminate. That would induce him not to make his Financial Statement until after Easter. GENERAL EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON, pursuant to notice, rose to move for leave to bring in a bill for the better encourage ment and promotion of general education in England aid Wales. No one, he said, could dispute now-a days the advantage of education ; it fitted men for the station of life which they were called to, and made them good members of society. The subject, therefore, was one which had been too long neglected. Last year the Manchester and Salford Education Bill was thrown out, and seeing then, as well as at the open ing of the present session, that there was no pros pect of the question being taken up in earnest he determined to take it in hand himself. (Hear, hear.) He found fault with the manner in which the Commit ' tee of Council on Education had fulfilled its functions. It was entrusted annually with the distribution of 300,0001. for the purposes of education, but the money was appropriated in such a manner as to produce only the minimum amount of good. There was no Minister in Parliament responsible for the distribution of the money. Nor had we, as in France, Prussia, Switzerland, and America, a Minister of Public Instruction. Now that was a defect in our administra tive system which he wished to see remedied, and one of the objects of this bill was to create an officer who should be anawereble to Parliament for the proper distribution of the funds voted for the purpose of education. Another defect in the existing system was the training of our national schoolmasters ; it was a great dea: too high, while the services expe c t e of pupil teachers were so varied and extensive that they pre ferred resorting to other professions for a means of live lihood, where the remuneration was larger than that of a schoolmaster. But few of the pupil teachers educated at the expense of the State with the view of ultimately be coming schoolmasters ever undertook the duties of school masters because they preferred rather t o t a k e si t ua ti ons as bankers' clerks, and so forth ; and here again was a subject upon which a minister of public instruction might be well expected to afford periodical infor mation to Parliament. He would now venture to call the attention of the house to a statement of the present condition of education in this country. Ile had been told that this question might be left where it was with a liberal House of Coinnione. He should show that they wtre going on quite the reverse. lie should lay before the house startling statements ; and he would wake no statement without giving his autho rity, and in all cases that would be official. Lord J. Rus sell, in introducing his bill in 1853, gave a too flattering account of the present advanced state of education, with out venturing on the other side of the question. He should, however, tell the house the truth. In 1833 there was only 1 out of 13 of the population at school, and it bad gone on uet.l there were now 1 in every 8 at school. So far there was improvement. (Hear, hear.) But if the house would analyse the figures, they would ficd the increase, between those periods, was by no means an equal ratio than between 1818 and 1819 ; whilst in 1821 the country was in this respect in a very Lad condition.' But he should call the attention of the house t s the important question--What was the quality of the education afforded ? What was the nature of the instruction the scholars received? The house was aware we were greatly indebted for information on this subject to the able report in the Census by Mr. H. Mann. (Hear.) In this he (Sir J. Pakington) found that whilst great numbers of children were at school, three millions, be tween the ages of 5 and 12, remained to be accounted for. Mr. H. Mann deducted one million for children employed at wcrk, he then deducted 200,000 who might be suffering from illness, and 20,000 more for chil dren educated at home ; thus leaving a large number—nearly a million—wholly unaccounted for as far as education was concerned. Why were tbese chil dren not at school ? But before entering upon that question, he might say that the whole number of these children were not found on the school-books, but what ever number they deducted they must in the same ratio deduct the time during which the children ought to have been at school. (Hear, hear.) He believed it to be a mistake that so many children were actually at work, for he found from a statement he held in his band that in the whole kingdom 41 and a fraction per cent. of child' en were at school, only 12 and a fraction were at work, and 46 and a fraction were neither at school nor at work. (Hear, hear.) This was to be accounted for in various ways. It had been attributed to the poverty , of the parents; but he thought the indifference of pa rents must not be forgotten, and this, no doubt, arose from the badness of the education afforded them. (Hear, bear.) This brought him to the co ns id era ti on o f the value of the education given to children. And he felt bound on this point to tell the house that, with the ex ception of Russia, Spain, Italy, and the Slave States of America, England stood lowest in the educational scale. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman then referred to the quality of the elementary instruction afforded in schools in Switzerland, Denmark, France (under the system adopted by M. Guizot), Germany, Holland, and Ame rica, which embraced moral and religious instruc tion, grammar, elementary philosophy, in a dditi on to the usual rudiments of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geography. (Hear, hear.) Coming to England, the elementary instruction afforded was—reading, 98 per cent. ; English grammar, 44 per cent. ; geography, 39 per cent. ; music, 10 per cent. ; and industrial occu pations the low rats of only 2 per cent. (Hear, hear.) He would now turn to the authority of Mr. Horace Mann on the subject of 30,000 schools, which he bad thus analysed : superior, 4,956 ; middling, 10,000 ; inferior, 13,879 ; and he significantly added, that from 708 of - these schools the returns were actually signed by the master or mistress by their mark. (Hear, hear.) Could he mention a more significant indication of the state of our educational system than this ? (Hear, bear.) Would the house console itself with this state of education ? Turning, now, to that which followed as a matter of course—namely, the deplorable results which had ensued. [LEFT SPEAKING.] ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- WAR : DEP ARTM ENT, MARCH 16.
