HEROES.—LIVER POOL, Jan. 2g.—Two of the invalids brought from the Crimea by the Cambria have died in the hospital, and their funeral took place in St. James's Cemetery this afternoon. The first of these was Juhn Stark, a private in the 93d Highlanders, who had been so completely prostrated by ague and dysentery that the vital powers were unable to rally, and he expired on Sunday evening. The other, who died on Monday, was John Hewitson, a private in the 20th Regiment of Foot. The privation. and fatigues of the campaign in this case superinduced consumption. The coffins were borne on the shoulders of 12 of the invalids, and they were followed by a con siderable number of those who were able to walk, and also by three cars, filled by wounded soldiers, whose condition precluded them from walking. There being no military stationed in Liverpool, the firing party was selected from recruiting corps billeted in the town. A vast concourse of people followed the procession, which left the hospital at twoo'clock. [ADYBRTISIMENTI — HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills incomparable remedies for bad legs.—Mr. Shackell, butcher, of Old Brantford, was afflicted for a long time with three wounds in his leg, which rendered him totally unable to attend to his usual avocations in fact, his leg was so bad that it defied all medical skill to effect a cure. He then made use of Holloway's ointment and pills, pay. ing every attention to the instructions given with the medicines, and the result was, after persevering with these remedies for about ten weeks, that his leg is com pletely cured, and he now enjoys most excellent health.

I then said— " The Cabinet has it is true, in its recent meetings, done much to repair omissions ; but a Cabinet is a cumbrous and unwieldy instrument for carrying on war. It can furnish suggestions, or make a decision upon a measure submitted to it, but it cannot administer. What you want, there- . fore, I repeat, is a Minister of War of vigour and autho rity. (Hear.) As the welfare of the empire and the suc cess of our present conflict are concerned, I have no scruple in saying so. Keep up, if you think right, as a temporary arrangement, a Secretary at War. Make it clear that it is temporary—that is to say, only to last till more complete consolidation can take place; but let Parliament and the country be assured that you have placed the conduct of the war in the hands of the fittest man who can be found l for that duty." (Hear, hear.) In answer to this, I re ceived a long letter from Lord Aberdeen, which I shall read to the house. It is dated .diovember 30, 1854, and is as follows : " After all, I think your letter plainly reduces the ques tion to the simple issue of a peemonal preference, and the substitution of one man for another. In answer to my sug gestion that some consideration wee due to the duke on the part of his colleagues, you say that you understood the Ad ministration was founded on the principle of doing what was best for the public service, without :regard to the self-love or , even the acquired position of individuals. Undoubtedly this was the case ; and I fully agree in thinking that the Duke of Newcastle would be the last man to. wish for any exception to this rule in his fayour. But I must observe that at the formation of the Government no such office as the War De partment was contemplated ; and 'when, subsequently, the Colonial-office was divided, no objection whatever was made to the choice of the War Departmen t t. by the duke ; nor, as far as I am aware up to this moment, to his management of a d n u ot t h ie e s r ablymighta n b d e the office. Now, I think you will mdmit that alth oug h an other person might perhaps have b(!en pref erre d on the first constitution of an office, it is a very different thing t o dis placea man h merely o found still more efficient. Undoubtedly, the public service must be the first object ; but, in the absence of any proved defect or alleged incapacity, I cam see no sufficient reason for such a change, which, indeed, L think is forbidden by a sense of justice and good faith. . . . . On the whole, , honourably, w i h n as th d e sc h h e ar lie g f ea tha it t s then, believing that any change like that proposed would be of doubtful advantage to the public, feeling very strongly that it would. be an act of unfairness and injustice towards a colleague, and thinking, also, that all such changes, unless absolutely necessary, only tend to weaken a Governmes4, I , must repeat that I could not honestly recommend it 'to the Queen." Lord Aberdeen spoke to meaner-wards on this subject, and asked me when I intended to bring the question before the Cabinet ; and I, certainly after a good deal of hesitation, told him that, as he had said he mould not honestly recom mend that change to the Queen, and as I did not wish to do anything which might tend to disturb his Government and remove him from office, I should not press the matter further. I should say that my hesitation arose very much in consequence of the opinion of other high authorities, with whom I for years—during the whole of my political life perhaps—have been living in the closest intimacy, who told ma they thought the change unadvisable, and that it would weaken that which I meant to strengthen, and who advised that I should not press it. Now, when I stand here to justify my resignation, and when I am told, as I have been, that I have acted prematurely, I own that the doubt that presses on my 'mind is whether I ought not at that time to have brought the question of this change to an issue. But among those who urged me not to do so was the noble lord himself, the Secretary of State fo r the Home Department, who at the time when the correspon dence took place was absent, and to whom I afterwards read it. He urged me, considering the objection which had been made, not to press the matter any further. (Hear.) However, that being the case with respect to men, I have further to conside r w h a t wa s ;th e case with respect to mea sures. I have reminded the house that last year a pledge was given that a new arrange' neat would be made of the military departments, with the view of rendering them more efficient. I myself had the honour of serving on two commissions having for their object the consolid a ti on an d improvement of those departments. Various commissions repbrted from time to time, au cl it is now, I think, 22 yea rs since the first of them was. appointed. At the corn narinCelllent of the war, then, tleat which before had been ecepedient became urgent and n 3cessary, and that conside- Tation to which I have referred was due to the interests of the public and to the expectations of this house. (Hear.) The only change I was able to a nnounce in the session be fore Christmas was that the cm amissariat was placed un der the War Minister. With respect to any further change I heard no mention until a proposal was made in the Cabinet—l think on Saturday Last. I reflected on that proposal, and then I went to my - noble friend at the head of the Government, and told hism that, after considering , the proposal, I thought it incomplete and inefficient. I gave him also a paper containing my own views on the subject. This, the house will observe, was very lately; but I had no reason to expect, that my views would be adopted. I had therefore to consider, when I came to re. fleet upon the Tuesday evening on the course to be taken on the following Thursday, whether I could fairly and honestly say, " It is true that evils have arises—it is true that the brave men who fought at the Alma, at Inkerman, and at Balaklava are perishing many of them from neglect —lt is true that the heart of the whole of England throbs with anxiety and sympathy on this subject; but I can tell you that such arrangements have been made—that a man of such vigour and efficiency has taken the conduct of the war department with such a consolidation of offices as to enable him to have the entire and instant control of the whole of the War-offices, so that any supply nsay be imme diately furnished and any abuse instantly remedied." (Hear.) I felt I could not honestly make such a declaration. (Hear, hear.) I could not say, after what I had written ( and I only mention this in passing, because I think no body will impute it as blame to my noble friend, Lord Aberdeen, as he had not taken an active part in the direc tion of the war)—l could not say that there was a person with such power and control, and of sufficient energy of mind and acquaintance of details, at the head of the War depart ment. I oemgd not say either that the arrangement which had been proposed on Saturday last—that the consolidation of the military departments had either been carried into effect, or was in prospect in such a way that I could pledge the fahiiir iet 11, o f f . G l i o n v g e T h m i s e — nt g o v n t h g e t h e e ffi m c iaetntecry the e o s a t r r &la painfulgem e ntat tention—feeling also, as I have already said, that I could give no faint nor faltering opposition to the proposition of the hon. and learned member for Sheffield, and that I must get up, if I opposed it at all, and stand in the way of that which wally would think might afford a remedy for those sufferings and distresses which had been complained of, or, at least, if it failed in doing that, might point ant a way for their correction and remedy—feeling, too, that many members of this House would look for an, assurance on my part which they would be ready to act upon, as they did so far honour me with their confidence, that efficient alterations had been made, I was conscious that I should be repaying that confidence with treachery if I gave an assurance of the kind, knowing it not to be true. (Hear.) Well, it appeared to me, no doubt, that the members of the Government could hardly remain in office if such a committee as the one proposed were appointed ; that it would not be, I will not say dignified, but consistent with the practical good working of our institutions, that there should be a Minister sitting on that bench (the Ministerial bench) to govern the war, and that the military depart ments should be at the same time constantly overlooked and checked by a committee sitting upstairs ; and that Vile Minister for War should have not only to consider what he was to do in order to provide for the ordinary necessities of tho war, and to attend to applications from day to day, but must also consider the evidence to be adduced with respect to his conduct five or six months ago. (Hear, hear.) Such a state of things could not be consistent with the effi ciency of our administrative system. (Hear.) I therefore felt that I could come only to one conclusion, and that as I could not resist inquiry, by giving the only assurance wniale I thought sufficient to prevent it, my duty was not to remain any longer a ;member of the Government. (Hear.) It would be competent for others, if they thought either that everything necessary had already been done, or would be done, consi s t en tl y t o oppose the motion for inquiry ; but for my own part I feel that I could not do so, and I, therefore, wrote in very short terms, not quite accurately stating the terms of the motion, a note to the following effect : " Cheshanl.place, Jan. 23, 1855. _ . . " My dear Lord Aberdeen,—Mr. Roebuck has given notice of a motion to inqu're into the conduct of the war. Ido not see how this motion is to be resisted ; but, as it involves a censure upon the War departments, with which some of my colleagues are connected, my only course is to tender my re signation. I therefore have to request you will lay my humble resignation of the office which I have the honour to hold before the Qm.,en, with the expressioh of my gratitude for Her Majesty'r 4 kindness for many S - cars. " 1 remain, my dear Lord. Aberdeen, yours very truly, "J. RussELL." To that note I received no answer ; but on thelollowing evenini .. , my noble friend informed me that he had been to Windsor with my resignation, and that her Majesty had been pleased to accept it, with the gracious expression of her great concern in doing so. This, then, so far as this iw.mediate statement is concerned, is my case with respect t 0 my own conduct. Those Ministers who believe that each th a t I company,ha ve they can successfully oppose inquiry — w h o b e li eve t h at t h ey are right in respect to what ha s b een d one and what is do ing, will be perfectly justified in t a ki ng th e part o f object ing to the proposed committee. I sh ou ld h ave b een ou t o f place (Hear.) B u t a t the same time I must heard that ther e i s a rumour , an d I hope a trio one, th a t th e arrangement which I proposed in my first lette r o f th e 17th of November, or rather in my subsequent l e tt er — namely, that of placing the seats of the War Department i n th e hant4 of the noble lord, the Home Secretary, h as b een made. (Hear, hear. ) I s h a ll grea tly rejoic e it th at i s t h e case, for I b e li eve it w ill h e o f grea t benefit t o th e coun t r y th a t my noble friend (L or d Palmer s t on ) s h ou ld h o ld that taffies. (Hear, h ear .) I shall b e g l a d t o think that my retirement from office has ac s e t say in in any way contributed to that change, and I believe it must in seine way have contributed to it—(" Hear," and laughter)—for otherwise I have no doubt that my noble friend, Lord Aberdeen, with the fairness and candour which belong to him, and which I always found in him, would have answered the letter I have just read, by saying that circumstances hail in some respect changed, that that which he could not honestly recommend to the Queen in , November he had thought necees ery at the resent time— (" Hear'" and laughter) —and that therefore my difficulty in opposing the motion of inquiry might be in some degree lessened, if not entirely removed. (Hear.) That cannot have been the case. This must have been the subsequent arrangement, and I shall be very gad if my retirement from the less important office, in the present conjuncture , of President of the Council could have led to the appoint ment. to the War Department of m y no bl e friend Home Secretary, of whom I canno t s p e ak in higher (Hear, terms than I have already used in one of mylotierth hear.) Having stated thus much with r espect to my posi tion and the position of the Government, I have not regu larly any right to go further, but as perhap s _ I shall tak e l a part in the debate on the motion of the hon. and earne d member for Sheffield, and as it is not my intention even to question, I may be permitted to say give a vote on the' somewhat more in reference present state of public I should state, in the first place, that I be affairs. (Hear.) this h ouse, be lieve that all parties in this house, without distinction—for I will make no distinction whatever, ar s anxious that the war should be carried on, as the meeting: at Leeds declared by the most vigorous measures, until we can obtain a just and honourable peace (cheers) ; and I xepeat my opinion that those measures which are the most vigorous for the prosecution of the war, and those terms oaf peace, which are and unquestionably just; and honourable, will meet with the most favour from all parties in this house. (Cheers.) I thorougly believe ti tat if any triumph attends her Majesty's arms, those who are in opposition tO Lord Aberdeen's Government will as heartily rejoice at that triumph as the Government themselves. (Hear.) This at least gives great facilities at present for carrying 117% LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, .JANUARY 27, 1855. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LOUD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock, - ACCIDENT TO THE PERSEVERANCE. The Earl of HARD WICKE begged to call the atten tion of their lordships for a few moments to a subject of a professional ch arac t e r, w hi c h i n th e i r l or d s hip s ' e y es might be unworthy of their consideration, but neverthe less he considered the circumstances of the case so pecu liar that it was right he should notice in that house one of the most remarkable events that had occurred in his life of a professional kind. It had reference to a ship of considerable tonnage, which was in the dock at Woolwich yard for the purpose of equipment. On being rigged and completed, she was floated in the dock for the purpose of taking her out, but no sooner did she float than she began to sway from side to side, and upset in the dock, present ing a spectacle of the most ridiculous description that could possibly be presented to a scientific nation. The acciddnt lad occurred in consequence of the state of the levers, and from the wasting of the ship being more than she could bear even in still water. He brought the sub ject under the consideration of their lordships, as a more disgraceful exhibition of the science of the country in her maritime yards was never exhibited. He was not at that moment going to entet into a discussion with respect to the state of science in her Majesty's docks, for it was of tees serious a character to be then consi dered, but he took the liberty of shortly noticing the occurrence to which he had referred, in order that their lordships should not forgot it at a future time when the subject should be brought under their consideration. It was to be expected that a surgeon should be acquainted with anatomy, and should be fit to 'deal with the human body in a proper manner, and in the same waylie.thought that a person placed at the head of ffie dockyard depart ment should be educated in the science of shipbuilding, and possessed of the knowledge of construction. When the Reformers in 1830 struck a heavy blow against, and gave great discouragement to the state and condition of the British navy by cutting down many of those appur tenances which had tended materially to its support, they overthrew the portion of the Government which had charge of the dockyards, and which took care of the state and condition of the scientific branch of the navy. Since that period prejudice had stalked abroad in those dockyards, and science stood at the door afraid to enter. From that period to this they had conducted their naval construction by the rule of economy, and not under the scientific instrumentality which the country bad at its disposal. He thought it right to refer to this, the most disgraceful occurrence in reference to the British navy that ever had been publicly exhibited, and to note it by mentioning it before their lordships. Earl TALBOT begged leave to say that ha concurred in every word that bad been said by the noble earl. The Duke of NEWCASTLE called attention to the circumstance that the noble earl had not concluded his observations with any motion or question. Time Earl of HARD WICKE admitted that, according to the forms of the house, be could not make a speech without concluding with a motion or putting a question, and lie begged to ask who was the designer of the ship to which' he referred, and whether she was masted ac cording to the design that was furnished ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE was sure his noble friend would sot expect him to enter into a discussion of the question as to whether it had been of serious injury to the navy that the Nary Board had been abolished, or as to whether the construction of ships were less perfect than it was before the year 1830. Without enter ing into that question he should confine himself to giving an answer to the question of his noble friend. The ship to which he referred was called the Per severance, and was designed by Mr. Mare, of Blackwell, a name of very considerable repute, not only amongst persons belonging to the naval profession, but also amongst other persons. She was stated by Mr. Mare to be the sister ship of the Cambria, and that was a well-known vessel in the service of the Peninsular Company. As to the cause of the accident, he could not help thinking that his noble friend was somewhat misinformed in more than one respect. At all events it must be so, if the information which he (the Duke of Newcastle) had received was correct. His noble friend had asked whether the ship' was built after the exact design of Mr. Mare, and his noble friend said it was obvious that the accident must have occurred from her being over-masted. He could state that the only deviseion from the design of construction was in one respect, namely, that her lower masts were in a very small degree larger and stouter than those intended, but in every respect the whole of her spars were in accord ance with the design. So far from the accident occur ring in the manner and from the cause that had been stated, the belief was that it occurred from the vessel not being afloat at the moment when the shores were re moved, and because she was lying in the dock at the mo ment. If his (tho Duke of Newcastle's) statements were correct, the noble earl must have been misinformed, and he had only to add that the matter was under in vestigation. His right honourable friend at the head of the Admiralty had sent orders to the master ship wrights of three of her Majesty's •slookyards to inquire into the accident, and that order had been issued from the Admiralty, he believed, five or six days ago. THE RESIGNATION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. The Earl of ABERDEEN—I think it may be con venient to your lordships to receive information as to the circumstance■ connected with the retirement of my noble friend, the late President of the Council, from the station which he held in her Majesty's Government, and from the station and character of my noble fries(' great importance must be attached to it. I am not fully possessed of all the motives that may have induced my noble friend to adopt this decision, and I cannot do better perhaps than read the letter coittaioing the offer of his resignation, which I received from him on Tues day nipht " Chesham-place, Jan. 23, 1855. "My dear Lord Aberdeen—Mr. Roebuck has given notice of a motion for a committee to inquire into the conduct of the war. I do not see how this motion is to bo resisted. But, as it involves a censure upon the War Department conducted by my colleagues, my only course is to tender my resignation. I have, therefore, to request that you will lay my humble resignation of the office which I have the honour to hold before the Queen, with the expression of my gratitude for her Majesty's kindness for many years past. " I remain, my dear Lord Aberdeen, Yours very truly, ‘" J. RUSSELL." According to my noble friend's desire, I laid this re signation before her Majesty, who was graciously pleased to accept it. Ihave said that I was net fully possessed of the motives—of all the motives—that might have in duced my noble friend to adopt this course. I was well aware that seme time ago—two months ago—my noble friend disapproved of or was dissatisfied with the con duct of the war, but after the explanations which took place on that occasion, and his constant activity in shar ing the business and preparing the measures of the Go vernment up to the day at which Parliament reassem bled, I was certainly somewhat surprised, as well as deeply concerned, at receiving the letter I have read to your lordships. My noble friend may be at this moment giving—at all events, it is his intention this day to give --a full explanation of his motives and of his conduct. It is not for me to do snore than to express—which I do most unfeignedly--the deep regret I feel at the step which he has thought it his duty to take. My lords, no man can possibly feel more than I do the great loss which her Majesty's Government must sustain by such an event as this. Indeed, any of your lordships who were present must recollect that at the formation of the present Government I expressly stated that I never would have ventured to undertake the formation of an Administration had I not secured the effective co-opera tion and assistance of my noble friend. My lords, under these circumstances, and in ordinary times, I might have, perhaps, adopted myself a different course from that which I have resolved to take ; but in the present con dition of the country and of public affairs, and of her Majesty's Government, I felt it due to our own honour —(hear)—to our own consistency—(hear, hear)—and to our sense of duty, to meet that motion which is to be made this night in another place, and which will decide whether a censure is to be pronounced upon her Ma jesty's Government or not. (Hear, hear, hear.) Even • e y a . and t noble powerful friend, w aen haveal m thoughtoet ia ipte duens a btl to assistancewithouth of great ourselves to meet the motion so announced, and which induced him to take the course which I have now stated. (Hear, hear.) ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIONS. Lord BERNERS inquired whether the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called to the public procession of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in the town of Tuam on the 15th of August last, wearing the habits of their orders, in contravention of the 10th Geo. IV., cap. 7, and whether any proceedings had been taken to vindicate the law and prevent its violation in future ! The Earl of ABERDEEN said the procession al luded to by the noble earl had not escaped the attention of her Majesty's Government ; but as the interference of the Government would tend to create religious discord, the Government had determined not to interfere. MANAGEMENT OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT-- TROOPS AT THE CAPE. Earl GREY said lie thought it desirable that the dis• cussion respecting the management of the military depart ments should, if possible, take place at an earlier period thad he had originally named ; and as he found that th e noble earl who had given notice for Monday of a motion on the subject, had withdrawn it, he (Earl Grey) proposed to take the discussion on that day, instead of Thursday. He now asked the question of which he had given notice— whether it was trete, as had been stated in the newspapers, that certain ships had been chartered to bring h ome the 91st and 12th Regiments from the Cape, but that, in con sequence of no orders having been given to the officer in command at the Cape, ho refused to allow those regiments to be embarked ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the circumstances to which his noble friend referred were these :—His noble friend might recollect that, in a despatch which he (the Duke of Newcastle) addressed to Sir G. Cathcart at the time a constitution was finally given to the Cape, he stated that the military force of the colony would be ultimately reduced. Subsequent events and communications from Sir G. Cathcart led him to believe it was not possible to reduce that force so rapidly as he had anticipated. On the 22d of December, 1853, he addressed a despatch to Sir G. Cathcart, informing him that the force should not be reduced till it should meet his views. On the 23th March last year he received a despatch from Sir G. Oath ! cart, stating it was very undesirable the force should be then reduced, though the time of the 91st and 12th Regi ments had elapsed. Sir G. Cathcart expressed a desire that the 12th Regiment should be left where it was, and in formed him (the Duke of Newcastle) that he would move the 91st Regiment from the frontier to Cape Town so as to have it ready for embarkation when ships wenld.arriee, en their return from Australia to take it home. Subsequently to this the breaking out of the war led to an alteration, and it became impossible to leave the 91st, and it was decided that the 4tith, which was to go to Victoria, should be re- Wised at home. That being the case, and it being still de sirable to bring home the 91st as soon as possible, arrange ! ments were made that the regiments at the Cape should I he augmented to 5,000 men by drafts from this country. On the 6th of June last year he addressed a despatch to the Lieutenant-Governor at the Cape, informing him of those arrangements. On the 30th of May he addressed letters I to the Admiralty and the Horse Guards, apprising them of the arrangements. Accordingly two ships, the Maidstone I and the Punjaub, were chartered to bring home the troops from the Cape. Those ships arrived at the colony about the middle of October, and it app eare d t h at, thoug h hi s (the Duke of Newcastle's) despatch to the Lieutenant-Go vernor had arrived, Major-General Jsekson had not re- Icalved corresponding orders from the Horse Guards. Under these circumstances, he (General Jackson) hesitated; and because the drafts sent out from this country did not make up. the number to 5,000 men, he wrote home, declining to send home the 91st Regiment, and the Pnajaub returned empt. The y subject then dropped. THE PRESS AND THE WAR. The Earl of WINCHILSA. said he should not occupy many minutes in drawing their lord s hi ps , attention to a question of which he had given notice.. He had no doubt theeh.,many noble lords round like— eseteild Ileink he had taken a bold course in venturing to place himself in contact with the Times newspaper, and for daring to call in ques tion any part ofthe course which that journal thought pro per to adopt in reference to the war in which we were en.. gaged. But he never had been deterred, and he never should shrink from boldly declaring his sentiments, when he thought any part of the public press of this country outstepped its due bounds, or when he believed the course it was pursuing was detrimental to tho interests of his country. (Hear, hear.) He was well aware how inferior he was in ability to many noble lords around him. He might not, from lack of talent and ability, have been enabled to render much assistance to his country in that house ; but, with all humility, he might express a sincere hope that he had not been deficient in that moral courage which adorned so many of their lordship. He h a d never been behind-band in boldly expressing his se n ti ments, re gardless of the risk and inconvenience to hi mse l f. This moral courage was one of the greatest among many bless ings which he had received from Providence ; it induced him, on all occasions, to act up to his principles, and it was strengthened aud confirmed by the kind conduct, the precepts and, above all, the example of one whose memory he over cherished with the deepest affection, and who taught him the maxim to fear no man, but to honestly and conscien tiously do his duty in whatever situation he was placed. There stood not among their lordships a greater friend of the liberty of the press than himself. Ile knew the public press had been a great benefit—lie would even say a great blessing—to the country, but the liberty it enjoyed had its du les as well as its limits. If the liberty of the press was not restrained within certain bounds, it degenerated into licentiousness. Let him instance the recent attacks on individuals in their public capacity in letters published by the newspapers, and from which, for some purpose or an other, the writers had thought proper to withhold their signature. Though he had oftou exposed himself to the lash of tho press, he had never placed his sentiments before the public through iti instrumentality without having the honesty and boldness to attach his name to them. Ho con tended that the paper to which ho alluded had exceeded all proper bounds, and had made most unwarrantable, most cruel, and most unjust attacks upon some individuals holding high stations of trust in the army, now fighting England's battles. He stood there to vindicate the mili tary character and talents of those entrusted with the com mand of that army. If ho were the ablest military autho rity in that house, he should scorn to form an op i nion upon their conduct until he knew every circumstance connected with the war, and all the difficulties with which they had to contend. A new era had certainly sprung up in the country when the public press sent out individuals to the seat of war, to toll net only all that took place in the camp and the field but to pass judgment on the conduct and character of those who had the conduct of the war. These persons also gave most useful information to the enemy. Indeed, he might say that no spy which Russia, by moans of her gold, had been enabled to avail herself, had ever supplied her with such valuable news as was to be found is the columns of the public press. Would that great geaeral, whose talents were never fully appreciated until he was lost to them, have suffered such a state of things to exist if he were now alive and at the head of our army in the East? Would ho have allowed the sickness among the soldiers, and the diminution of the army in numbers, to have been commu nicated to the enemy, thus giving encouragement to him, and placing the army in a worse position than it really was? Attacks had been mad. not eel,- upon Sir It. Eng.. land and Sir G. Burgoyne , but upon the n o bl e lord who commanded the army, with whom, he was proud to say, he had been intimately acquainted for many years. It was said he had no feeling and sympathy for the sufferings and Privations of his gallant men, and that he was never seen about camp. Now, a more foul, false, and unfounded calumny lead never been levelled against the character of a commander, for a more kind-hearted and feeling man than the noble lord at the head of the army in the Crimea could not, he believed, be found. He considered the public press had outstepped its proper province ; but if it were to assume to itself the direction of the war, and pass cen sure on what was going on in th e camp an d fi e ld , th e sooner the Government of the country was placed in the hands of the press, and the noble lords opposite removed from the Treasury bench, th e b e tt er. eesome further observations, the noble earl said, the question w hi c h h e wished to ask was, whether the correspondent of the Times in the Crimea had, in the slightest degree, received the fa cognition of the Government ? H e did not suppose for a momentthe Crimea n that a twtehreeborneespousesby o f the tha Go vernment ; but he was t gentleman's journey to given to understand he had a free pass e in one of her Majesty's ships. He was informed, a l so, ag ho had received rations from the commissariat while in the Crimea. He should like to have an answer upon these points. He wished to inquire further, whether the noble duke had re ceived any communication from Lord Raglan stating that the course pursued by the press had been detrimental to the best interests of the army, and ceilin g for some orders to prevent the continuance of the evil? The Duke of NEWCASTLE Was sure the noble earl would excuse him if ho did not enter on that occasion into any discussieu as to whether they had been taunted by the press to undertake the: expedition to the Crimea prema turely, and whether they had, i n consequence of that, placed the army in any difficulty, H is noble and learned friend on the cross benches ,had given notice of a very stringent motion on the subject for Friday next, and it would be his duty on that occasion to vindicate the Go vernment from any charges which might be made against them irrespective of the conduct of the press. He con curred with his noble friend that the press of this country had not acted on all occasions with judgment and discre tion ; he thought it had shown a great lack of judgment and discretion in the information which it.had communi cated at different times—not to the people of England, for as regarded them he should rejoice in their being supplied with all the news that could be ol etained---but to the Rus sian Government. They Must, however, recollect that the same news which was conveyed to, them was transmitted with the greatest rapidity to Russia. He believed it was a fact that peopro in this country were in the habit of communicating to the Emperor of Russia by telegraph the information contained in the press of this country, so that what appeared here in the morning was known at St. Petersburg in the course of the very elem.:l'day. Although therefore he would not impute to the press any want of patriotism, he did say they had acted with a wan t o f dis cretion in the information theyhad publithed. (Hear.) His noble friend asked whether the correspondent of ono parti cider paper had received from the Go vernment any en couragement or assistance in tho performance of his task and he alluded to two allegations which had been made with re gard to him,—first that he bad, with the concurrence of the Government, drawn rations from the commissariat while with the army in the East ; and, secondly, that he had a free passage • out from this country. N ew as to the take first, latter allegation, which h e would it' was per fectly true that a gentleman, who was certainly not en titled to give such permission, did intimate that, in one of the vessels which was to convey out troope_ he believed .the very first—the gentleman ill question might have a free passage. Before, however, the vessel Sailed, the cir cumstance came to the knowledge of the Government, and they sent down expressly to Southampton or Portsmouth ho forgot which—a message, sayin,rt t !tYas cont rar y t o rules in the case of a vessel env.cr°d the c onveyance of troops alone, and that the gentleman. who, he believed, was thou on board, must leave the ship. The gentleman accordingly did leave, and by o ther means proceed e d t o Malta. He hoped that was a satisfacto ry answer t o th e noble lord's question. As to th e second statement, ingrespect the drawing of rations, if the question nc had been p u t t o of the month of December, he should . him at the beginning noble friend have been enabled te, give his no the ether.as positive a had done of contradiction of it as he , Applica tions were made to him by the editors of newspapers i nthis country at the commencement of December , requesting th a t Crimea might receiverations, and correspondents in the 4 those and it had been his duty to inform gslemeu that such a course would be contrary to all th e rules of the supplied • commissariat service, that none cou ld be with connected ra tions except those employed in public duties with the army, and that it was therefore quite i mpossible solicited. • to afford the assistance which was th A.rejoinder was made by ono of those gentlemen,_ • e effect that the person referred to by his noble frientlwas in the enjoy menthe had refused to others. It of the privilege which of Newcastle) had so happened that he (the Duke conversing with ahad an oppoituuity not long - before offriend who had b een i n the Crimea, and on his aut h ority he positively contradicted that statement. Just before the meeting o f Parliament before Christmas, he re ceived an intimation from another gentlema n who came from the Crimea, which led him to make further in quiries.should state here that it was on l y It was right he in the month of December that th e commissariat came under his immediate management, consequently before then ' he was n o t cogn i san t o f the details of the busi ness w hi c h had been transacted. The fact, however, was undoubtedly this, that by private permission, given by the head of the departm en t o f th e T reasur y, the g entleman in qu es ti on h a d received rati ons f rom the commissariat, and h e could only say that the moment the matter came the di sa pp rova l to his noti ce b e inti mated to the Ch a ncellor of the Exchequer of the Governm e nt at the course Which haclbeen taken, and expressed a hope that the privilege would be abandoned. He wished it to be known, however, that we did no t thi n k , under the circumstances, at that particular moment, the gentleman having already enjoyed thet. etrustprivilege, to issue a ' peremptory order depriving him oftrusted rather to his good sense:and feeling, which he hoped would at once induce him to abandon the privilege, which certainly,under the rules of the service, he ought never to have received. If it so happened that the gentleman had not the proper feeling he had described, it would undoubtedly be the duty of the Government to issue a positive order on the subject. He was asked further, whether he had received any com plaint from Lord Raglan in reference to the information which was conveyed to tho enemy by the publication of correspondence in the newspapers. He had received such representations from Lord Raglan. The first came on the sth or 6th of December. Lord Raglan sent an extract from a newspaper, and pointed out how admirably the writer of it had managed to assist the object of the enemy, and to thwart that of the allied army, and applied to him (the Duke of Newcastle) to use his influence in endeavour ing to prevent a recurrence of such a circumstance. On that occasion he adopted a step which he believed he was not justified in taking except under very extraordinary circumstances indeed—vi z ., making a requ es t t o th e con ductors of newspapers not to publish particulars similar to those of which Lord Raglan complained. That was the first time he ever made such an application. He wrote to the editors of all the London newspapers, without excep tion, stating the complaints of Lord Raglan, pointing out the inconvenience which had arisen, and depending upon their patriotism and sense of duty to exercise a vigilant control, not only over the communications of their own correspondents, but over the private letters from the Cri mea, which were frequently quite as mischievous, if not more mischievous, than the former. (Hear.) From some of those conductors of newspapers ho received no answer, bat the answers he did receive were of the most courteous description, and promised that care should be taken to carry out the wish which he had expressed. He deeply regretted to say that those engagements had not been so completely and thoroughly fulfilled as he had every reason to expect, and that Lord Raglan had been obliged to make a second complaint. Only the day before yesterday he re ceived a letter from him, pointing out a recurrence of the same mischief, in the same quarter, on the 18th of Decem ber last. He (the Duke of Newcastle) could only say he deeply deplored it ; he certainly should not consider it his duty to make a similar commitnication again. He believed he had now given answers in sufficient detail to his noble friend's questions, and he should rejoice indeed if any re marks he had made would induce those gentlemen to eater else, in the future, greater control over their correr,pond ents, and over themselves, and abstain from publishing information which was prejudicial to the English army— information comminicated not merely to the Emperor of Russia, but with the greatest possible rapidity to the com mander of the forces opposed to ours in the Crimea. In answer to the Earl of HARROWBY, who was very in distinctly heard in the gallery, but who was understood to ask whether there was any truth in the statement which had been circulated, that one of the correspondents in the Crimea had been remonstrated with the second time, and whether it was true that that gentleman had used insult ing language to Lord Raglan, and that in consequence be had been sent from the camp? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he did not know that ' Lord Raglan had personally remonstrated with any indi vidual who corresponded with the London papers, and still less was he aware that any gentleman had used insulting language to his lordship, and in consequence had been re moved from the camp. if any gentleman had so miscon ducted himself, he (the Dike of Newcastle) would say, on the part of the Government, that Lord Raglan would be perfectly justified in sending the correspondent from the camp. The Earl of DERBY said that thonoble duke had stated in the course of his reply just made, that it was only in the month of December that the Commissariat Depart ment was handed over to his control, while on the 18th of December a motion was made in this house for copies of any order in Council, or of any correspondence which had taken place on this subject ; and in consequence of that motion, which was at once acceded to, the papers had been laid upon their lordships' table, from which it appeared that, in pursuance of the orders in Council, the noble duke was appointed to his present office on the 12th of June ; and in pursuance,of the second motion—an address having been made on the 12th December —the only corrospou donee is that dated four days later, the 18th, and conse quently could not have been referred to by Ministers when they agreed to the motion on the 18th December. Ho wished now to know whether any correspondence had taken place from the 10th Jane to the 22d December, bei❑g four days subsequent to the motion assented to by Minis ters of the Crown as to the production of papers having reference to the functions of the new office. Was it to be understood by their lordships that, as to the distribution of the duties of the old and new offices, no correspondence had taken place, and no record existed as to the new ar rangements made between the offices, except that single letter dated 22d December, written by Sir Charles Tre velyan The Duke of NEWCASTLE said the noble earl had put his question so as to draw an unfavourable inference against the Government. He might have put his question without the insinuations which accompanied it. He had not the slightest objection to answer the question if their lordships would not consider he was encroaching upon the debate which would take place next week. When the papers were moved for, he mentioned the minute referred to as being in existence, and though it was most undoubt edly dated the 22d Dec., yet it had been prepared three weeks before that time. He was aware of the minute having been prepared, and thought it had passed before the Lords of the Treasury ; but anybody who knew how the business was conducted at the Treasury, knew that the papers had, in the first instance, to be placed before the First Lord and the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and although the minute had been approved by the heads of the Government, yet they had the control of minutes of this description, and then it was for them to pass before the Junior lords. Thus it was that the minute was prepared before the motion in December was made, and that, it bore date four days afterwards. The noble earl wished to knew when any other correspondence had taken place other than that produced, and he, in answer, would say that there must bo necessarily much private correspondence between the heads of the departments, and it would be extremely inconvenient to communicate to Parliament documents of a private nature and confidential character. As regarded the transference of the duties of the Secretary of War, it was only in the month of December that the Commissariat Department was carried Over to the new office. Previously to December the business was carried on in rooms lent him by the noble earl at the head of the Government until the new offices were provided. Ho certainly objected to take upon himself the responsibility of the Commissariat De partment. The proposition to do so was neither fair to wards the department nor towards himself, and therefore it was not until the new offices were provided that he took upon himself the duties referred to. The noble Duke further stated, in answer to a question put by a noblel ord, that it was the duty of the Govern ment not to cast undue blame upon the subordinates of the Government in any department, bat as far as passible to assume the blame to themselves under almost all circum stances ; but in this instance ho had no hesitation in stat ing that it was Sir Charles Trevelyan who gave the order for the rations provided. After a few observations from the Marquis of SALIS BURY, Their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. COLE took the oaths and his seat for F&r managh. PRIVATE BILLS. A large number of private bilis were brought in Ly ➢lr. BROTFIERTON, and read a first time. APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE. When the SPIZAKER took the chair the attendance of members was not more than usually large, but as the hour of public business approached (half-past. four) the benches on both sides began to fill rapidly. The subordinates of the Government were early in their places, while Mr. Hayter, " the whip," was here, there, and everywhere, chatting with members ; no doubt upon the passing ministerial changes, and sounding them upon the view they were disposed to take of Lord John Russell's resignation, or the motion of Mr. Roebuck. The strangers' gallery, the Speaker's gallery, the distin guished strangers' gallery-, and the seats beneath theta were choked up with visitors, as were also the seats usuaLly appropriated to peers. The two side galleries were filled with members, particularly the ors facing the Treasury benches—while judging from the sound of voices which came from that immediate quarter we should say the ladies' gallery was not with out its fair share of occupants. Mr. Disraeli, attended by the leading members of the Opposition, came in about 20 minutes past four o'clock, and soon after wards Lord John Russell, accompanied by Mr. Vernon Smith, came in and took a seat on the third bench behind the Treasury bench, being the bench which Sir F. Baring, Mr. Labouchere, and the other members of the old Whig party out of office bad already appropriated to themselves. Some vshort interval elapsed before Lord Palmerston, Sir J. Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir G. Grey, and the other members of the Government holding seats in the Cabinet came in, but by this time both sides of the house had become completely thronged, as there was evidently a manifest impatience to hear the explana tion that had already been promised, and no doubt was looked forward to out of doors with equal anxiety. The Secretary of War was not in his place, which led to several questions connected with the war being post poned until Monday. RESIGNATION OF LORD J. RUSSELL. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose to make his promised state. mout to the house. He said, —At the request of my noble friend at the head of the Government, I have postponed till this day the statement I wish to make with respect to my resignation of the office which I lately had the honour to hold—that of President of the Council. I shall go at once into the matter, fearing that the statement I have to make may be prolonged more than I could wis h it should be. On Tuesday last, when I was present in this house, the hon. and learned gentleman the member for Sheffield gave notice of h motion for a select committee " to inquire into the condition of our army before Sebastopol, and into the con duct of those departments of the Government whose duty u it f has e r b s e e e , nhta rt minithoughts er to t h t a h t e w i t a n w t o s u o l f d t h b e e a o y b 2 a ' b e S i s r o , some member would move for an inquiry of this kind. I had not, however, fully considered the course that I ought to take. That, of course, depended much on the nature of the motion that might be made, and I should say, likewise, that it depended much on the quarter from which it might come. The honourable and learned gentleman the mem ber for Sheffield, it is evident, is in a position to evince no hostility to the Government, which he has supported, and I could not conceive that he had any other object than that which we have all at heart —the rigorous prosecu. Lion of the war. (Oheers.) Now, Sir, with respect to r PRICE SD. the power of inquiry, it is a most valuable privilege of this house. This house has no power of appointment, no power of directing the measures that may be taken ; but by the power of inquiry it corrects abuses, it reforms maladministration, and strengthen s those establishments which it may seem for a time to shake. A motion for inquiry, however, may be resisted on two grounds—the one, that there are no evils existing of sufficient magnitude to call for inquiry ; the other, that . sufficient means h ave been taken to remedy those evils, and that they will be best cured by other means than by a resort to the inqui sitorial powers of this house. Now, with respect to the first of these grounds which I have stated, it is obvious that is impossible to be resorted to. No one can deny the melancholy condition of oar army before Sebastopol. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) The accounts which arrive from that quarter every week are not only painful, but horrible and heartrending—(hear) —and I am sure no one would oppose for a moment any measure that would be likely not only to cure, but to do anything to mitigate those evils. (Cheers.) Sir, I must say that there is something, with all the official knowledge to which I have had access, that to me is inexplicable in the state of our army. (Cheers.) If I had been told as a reason against the expe dition to the Crimea last year that your troops would be seven smiles from the sea, seven miles from a secure port, —which at that time, when we had in contemplation the expe4ition, we hardly hoped to possess,—and that at that seven miles' distance they would be in want of food, of clothes, and of shelter to such a degree that they would perish at the rate of from 90 to 100 a-day, I should have considered such a prediction as utterly preposterous, and such a picture - of the expedition as entirely fanciful and absurd. (Hear, hear.) We are all, however, free to con fess the notoriety of that melancholy state of things. (Hear, hear.) It was n o t th erefore by denying the exist ence of the evils that I could hope to induce this house to reject the proposition of the hon. and learned gentlemen; J but I had further to reflect that I was in a position not to give a faint "No" to the proposal —net to express in vague and equivocal language a wish that the motion should not be carried, or to use any evasion with respect to the letter of its terms with a - view to defeat the motion. (Hear, hear.), It was ray duty—a duty which, I trust, I have ever performed when in that situation—to stead in the coccus reason er on T heel re front of the battle, and manfully to take my part in op posing the a pp o intme n t of that committee. (Hear, hear.) T e hen n h co e m tli m er it l te m e i allud e d— v i z ., th a t measures had been taken, that ar rangements to consider r h w e toht w n h o ie t h gi l ve the cohave were in progress, by which those evils would be remedi e d, an d b y which the administration of the war would be vigorously and, as was to be hoped, successfully prosecuted. Sir, I should have been more disposed to give that reason, because it is obvious that the concession of a committee on the subject, a committee sitting for weeks, perhaps for months, would be fatal to the efficiency of those military purposes which it would chiefly affect. There was therefore the strongest inducement, if possible, to put forward such an objection to the inquiry which the hon. rind learned gentleman proposed to make ; but, sir, I found upon reflection that it was impossible for me to urge with effect, and according to my own conscience and with truth, that objection to the proposition for a committee. (Hear, hear.) I hope the House will here permit me to refer to some circumstances personal to my self, t'flough they hardly come within the scope of the statement I have to make. When the office of Secretary of Stat o for War was separated from the office of Secretary of Stet e for Colonies, Lord Aberdeen thought it right to propos e to the Duke of Newcastle to keep which of the two offices he should most desire. The Duke of Newcastle, with a commendable ambition, as I think, replied that, having exerted himself in fitting out a very large ex pedition,, he should, of course, like to remain at the head of the department which should have the di rection of the orders for that expedition, and the general management of the war. Lord Aberdeen con sented to that arrangement, and I was a consent ing pas •ty to the appointment. At the end of the see siun the various members of the Government, especiallz those who are members of this house, dispersed, as they usually do ; and it appears to me that that dispersion, after tl le excessive labours of this house, is necessary to the due pa rformance of their duties, and no one, unless he has to disc barge very urgent duties, is to blame for resorting for pus poses of health to distant parts of the country. I was not in any office which obliged me to take any part in the conduct of the war, but during my absence there was scarcel.r a day in which I did not both receive from and write a letter to my noble friend the Secretary of State for Foreig a Affairs with respect to the occurrences that were daily t eking place. It has been said that I went lecturing about .;he country at that time. (A laugh.) The truth is hon,-an friend of mine, the member for Bristol, has said, on the day this house separated for the holidays, that it would give - great gratification to his friends at Bristol if I would attend a literary society in that place, and the day was ser kmod between us. Then, when I was cominefrom the no rib, and being at the house of my brother, he in formed' me that his neighbours in Bedford would be gratified if I would attend a literary meeting in that to wn. I complied with these two requests, which cert l - tainly did not exhaust much time, or call for much study with r aspect to what I had to say. (A laugh.) I con seived,, however, that, as President of the Council, these meetin kips were not very alien from the objects of that office. (" lies kr, hear," and laughter.) It has, nevertheless, *keen east on 'me as an imputation that I attended to the request of thee; gentlemen. But, passing from that to a mare im portene point, T have to state that, having attended all the Cabinet. Councils that met on this subject, I wrote to my noble f riend Lord Aberdeen at the time that I supposed there • rould be Cabinet meetings—at the beginning of Oc tober— -that I should be ready to attend them whenever they n set. My noble friend, in reply, informed me that he should not return from Scotland till the 14th of October, and on the 17th of October a Cabinet Council was held, which I thought it my duty to attend. But in the course of that, month, and from the beginning of the month of Nov., it struck me that a better administration of affairs relating to the war was required. (Cheers.) I made up my mind vrith considerable difficulty. It was a matter that affecte.d, in some degree, the reputation of a colleague who had len4 before assumed the office which he held ; but, still, I thought that duty imperatively called upon me to state nay views, and a correspondence ensued between my noble friend at the head of the Government and myself, from which I shall be obliged to read some extracts in order to put the house in possession of the ground on which I came t o the decision at which I arrived on Tuesday evening last. (Ilear.) The correspondence itself is long, and entess into the, details of some personal matters it is quite unne cessary- to quote ; but as it is I must request the house to listen to the representations which I thought it necessary to make., and to the answers I received. (Hear.) I wisheei, if possi ble, to put the matter in a light that would bear rather else air of indifferent official arrangement than any displaces nent of individuals. I therefore stated the ques *then of 'LhoWar Department in two points of view—the one as referiring to au arrangement which it was necessary to make in. consequence of the pledge given to this h ouse last sesitioa that the whole o f th e W a r Department should be considered with a view to arrangements which should. provide for its efficiency; and the other point of view re lating to the carrying on of the war. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the first point, I said I thought it was of the utmost importance that a person of the rank of Privy Councillor should hold office in this house, upon whom should devolve the moving of the war estimates, and who should be an authority able to answer the various difficult questions which I foresaw would come before the house. (Hear, hear.) I will not trouble the house with any de tails on that part of the subject, bat I proposed that the office of Secretary of State for War and the office of Secre tary at "Pirar should be held by the same person. (Hear.) In a letter addressed to the Earl of Aberdeen on the 17th of November, 1854, I said : " Fro to, the other point of view the prospect is equally clear. We are in the midst of a great war. In order to carry on that war with efficiency, either the Prime Minister must be constantly urging, hastening, completing the mili tary preparations, or the Minister of War must be strong enough to control other departments. Every objection o other M misters—the plea of foreign interests to be attended to, of naval preparations not yet complete, and a thousand others, justifiable in the separate heads of departments, must be forcol to yield to the paramount necessity of carrying on the war with efficiency of each service, and completeness of means to the end in view. (Cheers.) . . If, therefore, the first considerations here presented lead to the conclusion that the Secretary of State for the War Department must be in the House of Commons, the latter considerations point t• the necessity of having in that office a man who, from expe rience of military details, from inherent vigour of mind, and from weight with the House of Commons, can be expected to guide the great operations of war with authority and success. (Hear, hoar.) There is only one person belonging to the Go vernment who combines these advantages —my conclusion is that before Parliament meets Lord Palmerston should be in trusted with the seals of the War Department." (Cheers.) That is the opinion I gave, confidentially, to thr i Earl of Aberdeen. Before I read the Earl of Aberdeen's answer, I have to say that, the Earl of Aberdeen having requested some days to consider a matter of such inn ?or tame, I wrote to him again on the 18th of Noverr,ber, stating that I concurred in that delay, adding— " I wish, however, that before you decide you should show my letter to the Duke of Newcastle. It was my intention in writing the letter to avoid throwing any blame upon him, Indeed, I think he deserves very great credit for the exer tions he has made. But he has not had the authority requi site for so great a sphere, and has not been able to do all that might have been done with larger powers of conl,rol." To my letter Lord Aberdeen replied—misstating m y m . o. i pt ) h o reu s i is) t o i:L e n l ; h m a us d t m s e ad e --- . th o a n t t h h e e 2 c o l d e f n N o t e v a e c m q b u e i e r s h c e e in es Your iiroposal being founded on th e supposed impro priety of Herbert movin g the Estimates, and the consequent necessity of the Secretary of State for War being in the House of Commons, renders the removal of the Duke of Newcastle from his present office unavoidable. lint, although you would regard this as the in ev it a bl e result of an official arra ngement, it is not to be supposed that it would be con sidered in this light by the public, or, indeed, by any im partial person. The dislocation of the Government would be so great, and the reason assigned for it apparently so in adequate, that it could only be considered as a mode of substituting one luau • for another. Although you . may be far from entertaining any such desire, the transaetigolnzlisl, receive no other interpretation.

I considered the various objections of Lord Aberdeen, and on the 28th of November I wrote as follows : " I come, therefore, having cleared the ground of all these obstructions, to the real question, what aro the requirements of the great war in which we are engaged ? Setting aside all historical references, both ou your . .luxrt and mine, I think it
