The Earl of HARDWICKE said that inasmuch as it was reported that the telegraph bad been completed be tween Balaklava and London, he wished to know s he ther the Government bad received any communkation as to what had occurred in the Crimea within the last 24 hours ? W The - Earl of HARROBY said that he understood a telegraphic despatch had been received, informing the Government of the completion of telegraphic commlini_ cation between this country and the .He bad not beard that any other despatch had b E een ast received since hen. EXPORTATION OF HORSES. The Earl of MALMESBURY said he had reason to believe that there had been an unusual exportatio:i of horses from this country, particularly within the haat six months. He was lately at Folkestone, where he ~ vas informed that there was as many as 1,000 horses ex ported from that place to France within the last three weeks. He wished to ask the Government whether they were prepared to take any steps to prevent such exportation. Lord STANLEY said be believed that the attention of the Government had not been called to the subject, and be did not think that they had any intention what ever to limit the exportation of horses. Lord CAMPBELL said, when he was Attorney- General some years ago, his attention had been called to the exportation of horses that was then going on. He then examined the law on the subject, and he found that, though there were some ancient statutes which limited the exportatio❑ of horsts, those statutes had suhse qutntly been repealed. The Government therefore had no power to prevent this trade being carried on. The Earl of MALMESBURY then moved for a re turn of the number of horses that had been exported from this country since the Ist January, 1854. After a few words from the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Earl GREY said he was glad to hear that there .‘vas no intension to prevent the exportation of horses L-Jia this country. ~.. was of quite complete so that the camp could not be t communicated with within 24 hours. (Hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK thereupon asked the noble lord at I I the head of the Government, whether it would be with- ' in the scope of his duty to send by m its ean- and in quire what really had happened there of late ? (Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was his intention to ask his right hon. friend at the head of the War De partment, to request the C o mmander-in-Chief to let them have some news every day. (Hear, hear.) RECRUITING' OF THE CAVALRY. Colonel BOLDERO asked the First Lord of the Treasury what arrangements had been made as regards the intended encampment at Aldershot, and whether the force will consist of cavalry, yeomanry, artillery, line, and militia regiments ? Mr. F. PEEL said that, since last year, the cavalry had been increased to double its farce, and further reinforcements, to the extent of 550 men, and double that number of horses, were now on their way to the Crimea. One steamer had been employ ed to take them out, all the others being sailing vessels . [LEFT SPEAKING.] ARMY BEFORE SRBASTOPOL COM-- MITTEE-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our first edition.) In reply to a series of further questions from Lord Seymour, • Deputy-Commissary-General Smith went on to say that he believed there was always a full supply of rice and other articles of food at Varna. He had always a supply at Constantinople, which he sent, to Balakiava whenever it was required. To the best of his knowledge' they never felt a want of rice or such articles at the latter place. He attributed the delay that took place in the case of the Harbinger, which caused the whole of her cargo of vegetables to be, spoiled, to the conduct of Admiral B.ixer in detaiuinc: that vessel so long a time at the Golden Horn. Adruirfl Boxer was the supreme naval author-3y at Constant i nople, but he had no control over the transport service. 1 By Mr. Layard—Being in want of additional tran sport means he applied to Admiral Boxer, but the reply he received from that officer was that he had no Tess els at his comasand. By Lord Seymour—The coaling system at Canstanti nople was very inefficient, and caused great delay. At Malta the case was very different. • By Mr. Layard—lt was his own suggestion that de pots of various kinds should be established at Conis:an tinople. There never was a want of supplies so far as the Coremissariat was concerned ; the difficulties W•bich arose were at Balaklava. He thought if proper order and regularity had been observed, no difficulty whatevier in the shipping of, supplies at the port of Constantin qle need have occurred. He attributed the confusion wliieh, in the tatter part of the year, was occasioned in connec tion with the Commissariat to 'the disorganisation of the arrangements produced by the gale of the 15th N o vetnter. Cattle might have been obtained in abundance from the country around Constantinople, and mig ht leave been conveyed to Balaklava had the tran sport depirtment been in any way adequate. The Commissariat never had any difficulty in procure)g f-irage corn—the °illy place where the want of it was felt was the camp. (Laughter.) By far the cheapest operation was the supply of fresh meat to the army whilst at Constantinople, as compared with salt and pre served meats. Salt meat, however, it was necessary to keep in store in case of failure in obtaining the usual supply of fresh. He suggested in -his retrort that a supply of fire-wood might be obta Lae d about Constantinople, and a quantity was at :- coridingly laid in, preparatory to the arrival of the army. A depot was opened there afterwards for fuel, from which charcoal and other artieles were forward. el to the Crimea. They were, however, not sent regular] y, as he- found it utterly impossible to find vessels to con vey them. The Chairman—Are you aware that at that time ves sels were lying unoccupied in Balaklava harbour l Witness—Yes ; I have reason to believe such was the case. By General Peel—lt is not usuli for the Commissa riat to supply an army with fuel, but he was called upon to supply it by a requisition from the Commissary- General, which he fancied must have been made by, Lord Raglan's orders. lie complied with it to the best of his ability, and was prepared to supply the troops with wood and charcoal to any amount. The Chairman=Then, as far as you :were concerned, you were quite prepared to supply fuel if you could liPive found means of transport ? Witness—Yes. The witness here, at the request of the committee, read some letters he had addressed home to Sir Charles Trevelyan on the subject of the want of transport ar rangements at Constantinople, and descriptive of the state of confusion which existed in this respect at that, place. He also stated that his official letter-book, which. he had unfortunately not brought with him teemed . witti. importunate letters to Admiral Boxer, to make arranv ments required to meet the pressing wants of the co,m missariat service—importunities which Admiral Boxer, he said, characterised as a " bore." (Laughter and sen sation.) He did !Sot wish in any way to disparage the character of Admiral Blxer. He was a brave man and an excellent sailor ; 'but he had not the admini•tra tive talent sufficient to enable him to cope with success with the multifarious duties that con tinually devolved upon him. Admiral Boxer left Con stantinople for a new appointment at Balaklava iu January. » Mr. Layard—Do you know any cases in which vessels loaded with commissariat stores were detained at Con stantinople ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Layard—Can you mention any ? Witness—Yes. The Arabia, laden with deals for the construction of magazines and charcoal, was detained until the fair wind with which she ought to have set sail had subsided, because proper promptitude was not used in towing her out. By Mr. Layard—He suggested in hi§ report that light carts capable of being drawn by the animals of the coun try should be sent from home. He quite agreed with the opinion that a country ought, as far as practicable, to furnish its own means of transport, but he did not think that Turkey could have doneso without some external aid. So far m the Turkish Government was concerned he always found the readiest disposition to do everything in their power to supply any wants which were felt. He could not say whether it was true that the wooden huts sent to the Crimea could not be erected because there were no nails. - He,might say, however, that after the gale he was called upon to furnish a large quantity of tools for the use of the troops. The Turkish Custom-house was wretched in the extreme, but no delay was occasioned to the supplies in consequence, because they had not to pass through it. The Committee adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock until to-morrow. . OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM FIE tD MARSHAL LORD RAGLAN. ( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR-DEPARTMENT, APRIL 26. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following ara copies, ad dreAsed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, April 14, 1855. My Lord,—Since I wrote to your lordship on the 10th instant, a steady and heavy fire upon the works of the enemy has been maintained from all the batteries of the Allies. The fire of the British artillery, chiefly directed against the Garden Batteries, the Barrack Battery, the Redan, the Malakhoff Tower, and the Mamelon, has been most effec tive, and the enemy's works have suffered very considerably, although they have, as usual, made a good use of the night to repair damages, notwithstanding that the vertical tire has been continued throughout the twenty-four hours. The practice both of the Naval brigade and the Artillery has been excellent. The casualties have not been very numerous, but the loss has fallen heavily upon the sailors, as your lordship will see by the accompanying returns, and the Royal Navy has to deplore the death of Lieutenant Douglas, who had served with great ability and zeal from the commencement of the siege. Lieutenants Urmston and D'Aeth, Royal Navy, and Steele, Royal Marine Artillery, all valuable officers, have been wounded. The Royal Artillery has also to lament the death of Lieutenant Luce, who was an officer of much promise ; and Lieutenants Sinclair and L'Estrange are among the wounded. The former has sustained several severe in juries, bat I am happy to add that there is every hope of his recovery. They are boti highly meritorious officers. Captain Crofton, of the Royal Engineers, who had i n the coxi . se of the protracted operations before Sebastopol rendered most essential service, h. s also received a wound, which will, I fear, detain him from duty for a very con siderable time. Our batteries and parapets continue to stand remarkably well, notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the weather. The enemy's fire has been comparatively slack, but the practice good, and owing to their having ascertained the range of our batteries with great nicety, several guns have been disabled in both the right and loft attacks. Towards the Tchernaya nothing important has been ob served, but small bodies of men, from 150 to 500, have been seen, with a heavy gun and some ordnance carriages, moving along the Inkerman heights towards Mackenzie's Farm-road, near which it has been placed in position. Although the duties have been unusually severe and arduous both by day and night durilgthe week, they have been carried out with the utmost cheerfulness and zeal, reflecting much credit both on officers and men. The submarine telegraph has been safely brought to the Monastery from Cape Kelegra, and as soo❑ as it is estab lished at the former place, the engineers will proceed to convey it from the latter to the immediate neighbourhood of Varna, where I hope it may be in a state to act in a week er ten days from this time. The first division of the 10th Hussars arrived this day at Balaklava.—l have, &c., RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c. Enclosure 1. INCLUSIVE.

MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

The SPRAYER having returned from the House of Lords, Mr. PORTAL proceeded to enforce the argument.; in favour of his motion. Mr. DRUMMOND seconded the motion. • Mr. W.

LETTERS PATENT. FR On the motionl of Sir J. SHELLEY a return was ordered of the names and addresses of all persons who have petitioned the Lord Chancellor to extend the time for sealing letters patent, or filing specifications, under the Act 16 and 17 Vic. c. 115, stating whether no order, or any, and what order, was made, in each case. RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. Mr. ALCOCK asked the Vice President of the Bon.rd of Trade, it he will consider it consistent with his duty not to oppose any bills promoted by the South-Eaatern, South-Western, or Great Western Railway Companies, unless they guaranteed that the 'unction railway fr ni Reigate to Reading (which was granted by Parliament for the purpose of uniting by railway the ports of Dover, Southampton; and Bristol), should be in fact, as well as in name, a;'" Junction Railway," by causing junction stations to be Made at the points of junction at Farn borough and Reading. Air. BOTTVERIE replied that he was not prepared to go the length implied by the hon, gentleman's question. INCOME TAX IN SCOTLAND. :Arr. W. LOCKHART asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it was his intention, in dealing with the income-tax, to remove the injustice to which Vie proprie tors cif lands and house ^ in Scotland are subjected in re spect that no deductions are allo we d to t h em for rates or taxes , in accordance with the practice in Engla n d an d Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his bon. friend seemed to be under the impression that there was a difference in respect to Scotland with regard to deductions. Such w n ot the case, though i n some r espects the Scotc '1 landlordsa bbonrel under disadvan tage compared with those of England and Ireland. The question had once before been under consideration, and it was not his intention to propose any general altera tion in the income tax relativ to Scotland. THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOT.

A despatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.O 8., Commander-in Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediteiranean and Black Sea. PROCEEDINGS OF NAVAL BRIGADE. Royal Abert; off Seba , top }l, Aorill3. Sin,—My letter of the 10th inst., No. 284, will have in funned the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that the siege batteries before Sebastopol re-opened their fire on the 9th instant. I grieve to say that the casualties have been seuere, though not, perhaps, more than might have been expected, considering the number of guns which are manned by seamen. Lists of the casaualties on each day enclosed for the information of their lordships ; and I have to lament the fall of two gallant and promis ing young officers. Lieutenant Samuel Twyford, of the London, and Lieutenant W. H. Douglas, of the Queen. Captain Lord John Hay and Lieut. Urmston, of the Queen, have been wounded, though not severely.

PUBLIC WORKS FOB the ortlitiary weekly meeting of the society of Arts, held ye-tee-day (Wedne.- day) evening, Mr. Robert Lowe, M.P., in the chair, the paper read was " On Public Works fir India. especially with reference to irri g eol...n and c,,trimun•cations," by Col Cotton, late chief engineer, Madras. Toe following pro po,,itious give, in brief, the views entertained by the colonel on this important subject :-1. That the greatest possible mistake had been made in our managemeot of India in neglecting to execute those works of irrigation and communication which lay at the foundation of the improvement of the people. 2. That nothing could be more obvious than that in every district, the moment it was taken possession of, a sufficient establishment and expenditure should have been allowed-1, to keep in repair the old native works ; 2, to construct new and far more perfect, ones, worthy of our transit means and knowledge. 2. That the improvements that had of late years commenced in a few districts did not at all represent the general state of things throughout India, but that at this moment the great mass of India was utterly unimproved and unpro vided with those works which were . essential to all improvement. 4. That the construction of a few hundred miles of high-speed railway would not in the least meet the wants of lidia ; that every district ought at once to be supplied with works of irrigation, and per vaded with an extensive system of communication of cheap transit. 5. That to spend 10,0001. on a single mile of communication, when the same time and money could be expended in other ways, so as to produce from 10 to 100 times as much useful effect, was the greatest mistake. 6. That nothing but canal or river communi cation could provide India with sufficiently cheap transit for its long distances and the small value of its main ar ticles of transport. 7. That the grand point of all, as respects communication, was to get any rough works executed to a vast extent over the whole face of the country in the least possible time. 8. That while the value of water for irrigation was at least 11. sterling for 6,000 cubic yards, it could be provided on a large scale at '300,000 cubic yards for the same amount. 9. Tbat probably steam-boat canals could be worked at one-eighth of the cost of working high-speed rail ways, and improved rivers also at one-sixth or one= eighth of the latter. An animated discussion fol lowed the reading of the paper, in which the fol• lowing gentlemen took part—Messrs. S. Gregson, A. S. Ayrton, C. Nicholson, Colonel Sykes, F.R S., J. Dickenson, jun., Brown, S. Sydney, the Chairman, and Colonel Cotton. Tat Nitiv LOAN BILL—A bill "For raising a Sum of Money by way of Annuities," has been brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Wilson. The loan, as already known, is one for 16,000,000/ , and contributors are to be entitled to the principal sum of 1001 in the Thre per Cent. Consols to commence from the sth of January, 1855, and also to a further annuity of 14s. 6d. for a term of 30 years, to com mence from the sth day of April, 1855.

Guardians or trustees may sub- crihe the money of infants, and such iefants will Ie COII• trileitors within the - meaning of the acr. The annuity of 31. per cent. per annum will be paid on the sth of January and on the sth of July in each year, and that of 14s. 6d. on the sth of April and the 10th of October in each year.

A cashier and a-Tountarit general are to be appointed by the Bank, and the Treasury is to order money to be issued to the cashier for the pay ment of annuities. Subscriptions paid in part, and not completed, will be forfeited. The Bank is to be allowed to retain 3001. out of every million of the lean for the service and labour of management.

PROMOTION IN THE GUARDS. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : Sir,—l shall feel much obliged by the insertion in your columns of the following correspondence, the pub lication of which has been rendered necessary by the gross misrepreßentations of Mr. Layard's speech at Liverpool as reported in your paper.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, A. E. HARDIN - GE, Lieutenant• Colonel, Coldstream Guards. 15, Great Stanhope-street, April 25. (Copy No. I. " 15, Great Stanhope-street, April p. "My dear Wilson,—l have this instant read a speech of Mr. Layard's, delivered at Liverpool, in which he evidently alludes to you, introducing my name in the following manner :- " I will give you an instance of a friend of mine, a gentleman who serve" throughout all those battle., awl dis tinguished himself most signally. He came overto th iscoun try sick and almost dead. There w,re two men above him, , officers in one of the Guards' regi.nents, who had never ! left England. They were inemhirs of high families, and tbey were promoted without purchase; but my friend was a poor man, and they ma -e him pay 3,0001. for bis com mission ; and why? Lord Hardinge's son was next to hit, and got his coniniisiou without purchase. (Loud cries of ' Shame ! shame !') I say these things are scandalous. " You are evidently the fried to whom Mr. Layard alludes, and I am more openly declared to be the officer who, as the son of the Commander-in-Chief, got my pro motion for nothing. " I call up.ni you, therefore, as an officer conversant with the rules of the service, to state whether the trans action can bearin the slight, , st degree the colour given it by Mr. L " Your decision to purchase was uninfluenced by any but what appeart;sl your best interests the time, and di l not affect your chance of obtaining yoir step without pur chase by the accident of a death vacancy ; but you were not prepared, like Dawkins and Strong, to allow a junior (in their case Lard Dunkellin) to piss over your head, the promotion coming in the word way. , "Had you done so, I shoull have paid the 3,000/ . , takin g my place above you iu the regiment, and you would have succeeded to the vacancy caused by the promotion of Co lonel the Hon. A. Upton to be a Major General. "The mis-statement of Mr. Layard is so flagrant, by its insinuations as well as by the perversion of i ts facts, that I know you could not have been a party to it. Be so good as to give ma an early answer, as you know that my ar rangements are made to return to the Crim ea.—Yours I truly, "A. E. HARDINGE." (Copy No. 2.) • "62, South Audley-street, April 23. " My dear Hardinge,—l regret that you have been hurt by an allusion made to my promotion by Mr. Layard at Liverpool. " I frankly own I have felt, and still feel, myself to have been more really entitled to promotion without purchase than other officers 'whom circumstances had detained at home, and whose length of service did not equal mine ; all Loy friends, civil and military Mr. Layard among them -- coincided with me in this opinion. " For my own part, I have always blamed the system of these promotions, and am not disposed to censure heads of departments, who, I believe, acted, as far as concerned me, according to existing regulations. "I would remark that I placed my name on the pur chase list when Dawkins and Strong withdrew theirs my motive being the impossibility of obtaining my promotion without purchase while two seniors were a bove me ; but, had I imagined that Mackinnon's step would not have been given me, I should have withdrawn my name from the purchase list, taking the chance of Colonel Upton's retire ment from the regiment. Of course, I should have been influenced in We wise by financial views.—Believe me, yours very trurY, " C. TOWNS END WILSON. "To Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Hartlinge." (Copy No. 3.) "15, Great Stanhope-street, Aprll 24. Sir,—Your letter betrays such a disinclination to re move the unjust imputations conveyed in Mr. Layard's speech that I am obliged to withdraw the expression of my confi lent belief that you could have been no party to them, and have no alternative than that of publishing, for the information of my brother officers, the correspondence that has passed between us. "They are well acquainted with the regulations of the service.. Possibly Mr. Layard may not, and t leave it with them to decide whether I run in any way open to :the in ference to be drawn from Mr. LayartPs speech. " I find no fault with him or any man for whatever opinion he may entertain upon the system of promitiou in the army. " You knew its chances and disappointments, and, al though you admit the belief that the authorities in my case acted according to existin , regulations, your state you felt, and still feel, you were better entitled to promotion without purchase than other officers whom circumstances haul detained at home. The remark cannot apply to me. Such promotions as you r.lluule to were in accordance with the invariable rules of the service, and with this part of your disappointment I have no concern. But you say Mr. Layard coincides with you in the hardship of your case, and by this assumption of a grievance evade any contra ' diction of the charge that my interests were unfairly for warded by the iiaterference of the Commander-in-Chief to the prejudice of a brother officer who was made to p..4y 3,0001. because I, Lord Hardinge's son, was next to him, and would thus obtain my promotion without purchase ! " You say that your motive in scouting in your name for purchase, after Dawkins and Strong had withdrawn theirs, was the impossieility of obtainieg your promotion with mit purchase, and tliatdiad you imagined t h tit Lieutenant- Colonel Mackiunon's step would not have been given to you, you would have withdrawn your name from the pur chase list to take the chance of Colonel the Hon. A. Ul. ton's retirement. " Precedent has established the rule that in the ease of the death of an officer serving abroad who has purchased through his agents at home a step of rank, but who dies before the fact of his promotion has reached the hew?. quarters of his regiment, and therefore before he could have exercised the functions of his superior commissiou, the money is returned to the family, and the next officer for purchase succeeds to the vacancy. It is obvious you could have had no security whatever as to Colonel A. Upton's decision whether he would retire from the ser vice or be promoted to be a Major-general. " I should have expected from an officer of my regiment whour I addiessed on such a subject a more frank explana tion than that contained in your letter, and, as you know that neither I nor any'of my family would have exercised any influence adverse to your interests, but do not make that avowal, while the contrary is asserted by your friend, Mr. Layard, I shall publish these letters, and am ready to insert your reply to this communication.—l have the honour, &c., " A. E. HARDINGE. "Lieutenant-Colonel Wilson, Coldstream Guards." (Copy No 4.) ..•__ "6->, South Audley-street, April 25. " Sir,— Absence from home until late last night is my apology for not replying earlier to your letter of the 24th instant. . " In a conversation with you on the 23d inst. I informed you of my sentiments relative to promotion, and I imagined yon left my house satisfied with the explanations then given viva voce, and afterwards transmitted to you in writ ing. The tone of your last letter has therefore somewhat surprised me. "I repeat I have found no fault either with you or the authorities ; for I am aware the promotions in question were given according to established rule. Nevertheless, you may, perhaps, admit that I have little cause to be enimoure•i of a system from which, in the course i f 16 year' service, I have never derived any benefit. Do net misunderstand me here—l merely risk a private, it may be a selfish opinion, without insinuating a reflection on any man. " I may add, I wes not cognisant of any precedent in the late Lie,ut.-Colonel MaAiiition's case before instructed thereof on arrival i❑ England. " With regard to Mr. Layard, I was absolutely ignorant of what that gentleman intended to say at Liverpool; from the Times alone Lgleaned an idea of his address. I need scarcely remind you that Mr. Layard is a public man, form ing his own views without being influenced by any one ; however, I shall take a❑ opportunity of informing him that I do not accuse yourself or auy of your family of exer cising an influence adve.*se to ❑'y interest. " I trust enough has bade sad to convince you how en tirely I disclaim the existence of kl hostile feeling towards any person connected with you. —I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, "C.

IMPORTATION OF RIIINOCEROSES:—The ship Defence, Captain Pearson, just arrived in this port from Calcutta, has brought "with it the novel import of two young rhinoceroses. The animals are male and female, and are fine healthy specimen.:, with the distinctive horns just beginning to sprout. Tile female, which is the larger of the two, measures in length from the end of the snout to the tail 9 ft. 7 in. ; she is 8 ft. 11 in. in girth, by a height of 4 ft. 5 in. The male, from snout to tad, mea sures 7 ft. 4 in. ; his girth is 8 ft. 10 in., and his height 3 ft. 9 in. They were caught in the wilds t - f Assam, and from their docility and fine healthy condition they are considered very valuable. The rhinoceros being now a very scarce animal, it is of rare occurrence that a male and female of the species are to be met with together.— Liverpool Standard.
