First Lord of the Admiralty, he would t%ke the opportu nity of stating that he entirely acce ied to the opinion ex pressed in that most interesting and vain tble dozuumut which Sir G. Cockburn had left as a leg , ey to the country, ' 1 that it was expedient that the First Lord of the Admiralty should be a member of the naval profession. iie must say that he thought the d,ble lord opposite, as S. cretary of State for the Home Department, would sand in a much 1 stronger position in the Cabinet if he bad on one side a distinguished officer like Sir W. Parker or Sir G. S •yinc,ur, and on the other such a man as Sir J Burgoyne, Lord Seaton, or Sir H. Douglas, than he did at pre.-eat H jai Sir C. Wood on one side and his shadow on the other. Lord PANMURE said he had one remark to make in reference to the Transport Board. The moment the war was concluded the Transport Board, as at present consti tuted, would cease to exist. It was wrong, however, to say that the Transport Board was not in communication with the War-office ; for, although in more immediate commu nication with the Admiralty, the head of that board trans acted business with the War Department every week. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGEI said that, if a member of the Transport Board communicated with the Secretary for War and took his orders, he sho uld like to know what, in fact? was the authority left to Captain Milne at the Admiralty? Lord PANMURE replied that the head of the Trans port Board communicated to the War Department for the purpose of ascertaining the business which was to be trans acted. The official business was conducted between the Secretary of State and the Board of Admiralty in the usual manner. The Intestacy (Scotland) Bill went through committee. Their to adjourned at a quarter past 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Sir M. S. STEWART took the oaths and his seat for Renfrewshire, in place of Colonel Mare, resigned. Sir J. FERGUSSON took the oaths and his seat for Ayr shire. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were ordered to be considered :--Birmingham Water MI, Medical Invalids General Life Assurance Society "Bill, and the Plymouth and Stonehouse Gas Bill. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Ayr Harbour Crouiford and High Peak Raitway, Glas gow and South-Western Railway, and Nottingham and Loughborough Road. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time, !—Carmarthen and Cardigan Rail vay ; East of Fife ; Fife and Kinross Railway ; Luton, Dnitstable and Welwyn Railway ; Lyme R - gis Roads ; Royal London Militia ; Exeter and Exmouth Railway. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. Hadfield, from Tor quay, for the Abolition of church rates ; by Sir J. Shel ley, several petitions from Pimlico against church rates ; by Mr. Craufurd, praying for some alterations in the Lord Advocate's Education Bill. Mr. W. LOCKHART presented two petitions unani mously adopted by the Commissioners of Supply of the counties of Lanark and Dumfries on the 30th of A pril, praying that the proprietors of lands and hoaxes in Scotland may be relieved from the injustice to wl,ich they are subjected in being called upon to pay a higher rate of property tax than the proprietors of England, or the owners of funded or other descriptions of property. CONSTITUTION FOR NEW SOUTH WALES. Mr. LOWE gave notice that on the second reading of the above bill he would move that it be read a secund time that day six months. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR IN IRELAND. Mr. WMAHON asked the Chief Secretary for Ire land whether his attention had been called to the trial at the last Tyrone assizes of certain persons, belonging to two opposing political and religious parties, for riot and assault, and to the course pursued by the public prosecutor on that occasion ; and whether that course met with the approbation of the right hon. gentleman ? Mr. HORSMAN said he understood the question to refer to the system rather than that particular case. In that case the proceedings were not out of the usual order. He had communicated with the Attorney General, and he was of opinion such a practice shouid not be con tinued, and should not occur again. THE FOREIGN LEGION. In reply to Mr. EWART, Mr. PEEL said he was informed that between 3.000 and 4,000 znen.had been enlisted, and from the success attending the efforts of the recruiting agents a force of 10,000 men would be raised. Depots had been formed at Heligoland and at Shornelitf for their accommodation. ORDER OF MERIT. Lord ELCHO asked the First Lord of the Treft , ury when the new Order of Merit for service in the field would be instituted and distributed, and whether• the delay was attributable to the neglect of any particular department ? Lord PALMERSTON said the only cause for delay was, that his noble friend at the head of the War De partment was anxious to have a report of the manner in which such orders were distributed in foreign coun tries, which report had not yet been received. SUMMER CLOTHING FOR THE TROOPS IN THE CRIMEA. In reply to Mr. BERICSFORD, Mr. PEEL said an oidtr had been sent to an eminent house in Vienna to prepare a large quantity of summer clothing for the troops, and he had no doubt they were by this time supplied with them. IRISH JUDGES. would have enabled hint to place it il ii;fferent terms be fore the house. He has, no doubt. unintentionally : mis. qtlW el my speech alt,g,ther. I hav , referre.t to three or four newspapers in this house—if I may it- allowed to refer to newspapers in this house—and I have compared their reports. I oo not pretent to r , collect the exte words I usel, but referring to the Morning Herald, the pier that has attacked me th, most, I ant rerne,ent_d to say that Captain Chri.tio w a ab ait 70 yeirs of aoe —.thin. papers in .k a me wty upwards of 70 years. I trill read from the Times whet Isaid :-- " Who is at the head of the trios/301-U at Rd tklava ? Captain Christie, an old gent'eman upwards of 70 years of age, a gallant gentleman no doubt, but he cannot leave his ship after dark for fear of a catarrh, which might en danger his existence. I know he is often five or six days without being able to land at Balaklava. Are you then surprised at the state in which Balaklava was?" bets of this house, a,4,1 both its the profe , sicn of v , bleb C,p'ain Christie was a niendtA - , and I will u t p:e:t a k, to say that the ni,n who b o oks the y,,ung st of the two is five years older than the °quo% Any number of members of this house would tak , the yourger man to be the elder of the two. Such a mistake one of its nti,;ht easily mike The hon. member for Aylesbury has seen Captain Ohm iAie, and we have not. The hon. ntembe's opinion was that Capt. Christie was a man about 70 years of age. He made that statement. He was making a speech in the house- he was excited tly wit he had 24:en at DOAlava, and we were excited ity what, we had heard from the seat of war. But what was the conduct of the hon. gentleman afterwards ? At the very moment when he received a letter from Cap tain Christie he wrote to that officers agent in the most frank terms. • What would have been thought of the hon. member if he had come down to this house, and' asked the house to notice particularly the fact that he had said an officer was 70 years of age, but had since had a letter from that officer, stating that he was not more than 60? There would have been laughter from both sides of the house, and that would bethe end of the affair. (Hear.) My own opinion is, that the hon. member for Aylesbury has only done that which al.y man may do, and rightly do, who feels that at the head of a public department is a man who is incompetent to tulfil his duty. And when a man does that —for no one charges the hon. member with hav ing personal hostility to Captain Christie—if he has made his statement in fulfilment of his public duty, what is to become of us members of this house if there is to be a weekly, foitnightly, or monthly hunt in this house on a motion for adjourning the debate. Every one after this discussion will come to the conclusion that the house is treating the hon. member with rather less of that genero sity and fairness which are the usual characteristics of the house, and it is for that purposei have risen to make these few observations. _ _ _ During the time I was at Balaklava, on board the Agamem non, I had almost dailS , opportunities of seeing Captain Christie. Against his private character I have nothing whatever to say. He appeared to me to be a man about 70 years of age, and I had frequently heard a high autho rity say he was not a man competent to fill the position he held. That opinion I formed myself strongly. I bad a right to form it. At that time the existence of thousands was dependent on those who were placed .t the heads of de partments ; and I, as a member of parliament and an En glishman, had a perfect right to express my opinion to the country of any man at the head of any of those depart ments. There is no one impartial n,an, or one not wishing to make political capital out of such matters, could venture to say that anything more was to be inferred from my re marks than that Captain Christie was an old man—too old to be at the head of his department. I did not know whether he was 60 or 70 years of age. By his appearance I was justified in saying he was about that age, as I might express my opinion of the age or any man in this house, and be mistaken. A few days after I received a letter from Capt. Christie's brother. Now, no one is more ready in ' this house to atone for an error—if I have reason to believe it to be an error—(oh, oh)—than I am. When a gentle man out of doors addresses an unseemly and unbecoming letter to a member of parliament, and publishes th letter in the newspapers ' I apprehend, then, the duty of a ahem ber of parliament ceases. Now, what was the letter? It opened with a statement contrary to fact : If your speech has been correctly reported, I have to inform you that you have stated what is contrary to fact, and have thereby done what you can to injure an absent man." It may be in the recollection of the house there was a change of Ministry going on, and gre at excitemont in the country, and I had not an opportunity of making a state ment in the house ; and, after receiving such a letter, I very much doubt whether I should have made any state ment; and when I saw that letter published in the news papers, I might fairly have consilere l myself as relieved from any further notice of it. I believe I did afterwards receive a letter, whether from that same gentleman or another I cannot say, but I remember I (lid write an answer to it, and received a reply from the gentleman to whom it was addressed, to say that he was the person who had written to me. I have looked among my papers, but am sorry to say I cannot find the letter. Some time after wards I received a letter from Captain Christie—that letter was written under a misconception of facts. No doubt he was informed I said he was 70 years of age. I never said it—(hear)—the only thing I said was he was unable to un dergo exposure on account of the state of his health. The moment I received that letter I wrote a reply, directed, as he wished, to his ag ent, J. H. Smee : " 9, Little Ryder-street, April 17, 1855. "Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your note, dated Balaklava, 26th March. I had already received a communication from your brother on the subject of your age. Had that communication been worded in a becoming manner, I should have at once acknowleAged my error in the House of Commons • but, as it was not so worded, and as your brother thought fit to' publish it in a newspaper, I did not consider it incumbent upon me to take any notice of it. With regard to your suffering from disease—such a statement was not made by me. I argued that a man of your age could not perform the duties imposed upon an officer in your position, without running the risk of injury to his heillth. , " With regard to your management of the harbour and the shipping in it, that is now the subject of par iainentary , inquiry, and I have no doubt that if you will inform Mr. Roebuck of your arrival in England, he will summon you before the committee, and you will then have an opportu nity of clearing yourself from any imputation that may have been thrown upon you. " I am, sir, your obedient servant." In reply to Mr. H. BRUCE, as to whether a large por tion of the Irish Judges were incapacita'ed by ag or other infirmities from the regular discharge of their duties. Mr. HORSMAN said the subject had been frequently under the consideration of the Government, and was still so. (Laughter ) HOLYHEAD HARBOUR. In reply to Sir R. BULKELEY, Sir C. WOOD said the repot of the engineers had been already laid on the table, and the work to c.trry out the northern breakwater would be carried out as speedily as possible. A landing place was; about to be opened there for the accommodation of railway pas3en gers. In reply to Lord NAAS, Sir 6. WOOD said the depth of water would be fr, 25 to 35 feet, and the area of the whole works would cover 600 acres in extent. PLANS OF THE EARL OF DIINDONALD. In reply to Mr. FRENCH, Lard PALMERSTON said the plans of Lord Thin donald were last autumn referred to a committee of null• tarp and scientific men ; but the difficulty of the case seemed to increase as it was more looked into ; an f tar really was not prepared to state what day the Govern ment could give a final answer on the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM—Sir, I am extremely anxious that this discussion, which is of a most painful character, should not be unneoessarily prolonged. But I must say it is not the character alone of the hon. member for Aylesbury that is concerned ; a debt of justice is due to the memory of a gallant man. (Hear, hear.) And, sir, I beg leave to state that no transaction has for a long time given me such acute and deep pain as this very transaction we are now dis cussing, for though it is no longer possible to render a tribute of justice, which might soothe the feelings of a gallant man now no wore; still there is a debt of justice due to those relatives who feel the greatest interest in all that happens. Sir, I alone am responsible for the ori ginal appointment of Captain Christie. He was unknown to too except by reputation. He bore a high and spot less character in his gallant profession ; he had served well and honourably, and he was recommended to me as fully competent for the situation to which I appointed him. I believe the first serious question raised with re spect to his competency was raised in this hi use by the honourable member for Aylesbury. Certainty, sir, I shall not attempt to eive evidence as to the precise words used by the honourable member on that occasion ; but it will be in the recollection of the house that the allusions to Captain Christie by the hon. member were very disparaging—namely, that he was an old men, a sickly man—(uo, and cheers)—and as such mass unfit for his duty. (No.) I certainly understood the hon„ member to say he was so liable to catarrh as to he unable to leave his ship for many days consecutively; and I leave it to the house to judge whether the tone and substance of what the hon. member said did not leave an impression that an unlit person had been appointed et a crisis of public affairs to fill a most important situation ? I have said this matter deeply grieved me. I had heard too much clamour with regard to this officer, and I ordered inquiry to be instituted after that debate by the Com mander-in-Chief on the naval station, whether, in his opinion, Captain Christie had effectually and well die charged the duties of the station to which he had been appointed. Two faults, and only two, to the best of my recollection, were alleged with respect to the manner Captain Christie had conducted his duties. The first re lated to the discretion exercised by him with refer ence to the transports outside the harbour on the 14th of November, the day of the heavy storm and incidentally another question arose, which the right hon. baronet alluded to, whether Captain Christie had not made a serious mistake with reference to ordering a portion of the Turkish troops bound from Varna to the Crimea, to go to Balaklava instead of Euoatoria. Having received an answer anti an inquiry, instead of handing Capt. Christie over to the committee on which the bon. member sits, I thought it more just, and on the whole better, to submit the conduct of a gallant officer to the c ei stituted tribunal of his brother officers, that they should investigate the charges and pronounce an opinion on Captain Christie's conduct. This, I thought, would be better than to submit Captain Christie to the ordeal the hon. member wished him to sustain. For thet I am respon sible. I did not wish Captain Christie to'return to England to be examined, but that he should be tried by court martial. Here is the point. I had reason to believe that the bitter and cruel suspense in which Capt. Christie was placed—finding himself superseded and ordered to be tried by court martial, coupled with the statement made in that house eo disparaging to him, broke the heart of a gallant man ; and when in the committee I said I did believe that Capt. Christie's death was in consequence of the circum stances I have stated The hon. member says when be re ceived a letter from Capt. Christie's brother, stating cir cumstances so minute its to prove the errors into which he had fallen, that he bad not answered that letter. And what is his allegation ? Why; that when he received a letter. from Capt. Christie's brother, who was on the spot, correcting two errors as contrary to fact, and injurious to the character of an ab,ent man—be found that letter couched in terms so offensive as to preclude him from doing justice to that absent man. Now I appeal to this house to say if that is not a dangerous deceriue to put forward, coupled with the facts of the case. It is a doctrine the honourable member on reflection will not, I feel assured, adhere te. (Hear, hear.) With respect to what fell from me on the committee,, I sincerely thank the right honourable ge,tleman (Sir J. Pakington) tor doing me justice. I brought charges against no one. I felt regret for what was demanded of me. I said, and looked steadily at the hon. member, that Captain Christie died a broken-h acted man. I censidei ed that what the hon. mem ber said in the louse of Captain Christie was unjust to a gentleman. I believe the statement had the worst effect on the health of:, gallant officer, and I du think that the lesson eualit net to be thrown away with reference to future charges; that allegations against the character of absent men night not to be brought forward 011 light grounds, and that when errere ate preyed at have been committee, there will be no hesitation in frankly acknowledging them. Mr. ROEBUCK—As chairman of the S bistopol com mittee, I ti-pa the hue will excuse we if I say a few words en the subject. I think there is something p culiar ill the expreseittes Used by the light bin. gairtiew at tier uremia ,r fur Carlisle. The charge against the hoe. member fur Ayles bury is th:.t in his opinion Captain Christie was about 70 years of age, and in his opitii on ince puble of pee forwieg his duty. Hereupon the right Lou gentleman the member for Carlisle thought it within the scope of his daty to deeise an inquiry by court-mat do to be hel t into Cap-. Christie'e conduct. Doling that iuqui.y ewe circuinstenees c One to the knit' ledge of the right barenet, which caused hun to order a court•mertiel. These two circumstances were not mentioned by the hon. member for Aylesbuiy. The first was, that Capt. Christie by his conduct conduced to the lass or the Prince. The second was, that instead of sending troops to Eupatai ie he sent them to Balaklava. These two cir cumstances were, in the opiniou of the right hon. baronet, eo grave that ho superset": d Capt. Christie and ordered a court-martial. Then the right hon. baronet tells us that in giving his evidence before the committee, he did tix his eye on the hon. member for Aylesbury, proving them eby that the right hon. baronet the member for Droitwich is wig take,. Sitting there wholly unconcerned he thought, and I thought, that the right hon. baronet was merely giving effect to his statement of a fact, but the right hon baronet the member for Carlisle now says that he gave a signficant statement, anti that he intended to convey to the hun. member for Aylesbury that Captain Christie had died of a broken heart in consequence of the conduct of the hon. member for Aylesbury. If Captain Christie died of a broke. heart, what broke his heart? Because be was su perseded and ordered to be tried by a court-martial. What caused him to be superseded and to be tried by a court. martial ? The right hon. baronet has told us. The cir cumstances that led to his being superseded, and to his trial, by court-martial, did not arise out of the states went of the hon. member for Aylesbury. The statement was that he was an old man. I never heard that such a statement could ever be considered a charge. If it is a charge, it is one to which I hope we n ay all be liable. But it is surely becoming the generosity of the house, before visiting any member with its displeas sure, to consider well the cause of displeasure. What is the accusation against the hon. member for Aylesbury ? He said that Captain Christie was 70 years old— decrepid—or if he did not say decrepid, he implied it, and that from his age he was incapable of performing his duty. Judging of the man from hi s a ppe a r a nce, th e h on . mem b er for Aylsbury said that he was 719 years old, and also, judg ing from appearances, that he was unfit to perform the duties of the office imposed upon him. That is the sum total of what the hon. member said. Then the hon. mem ber says that the hon. member for Aylesbury received let ters and did nut answer them. He has told you that of the letter from the sister of Captain Christie he is wholly ignorant. (Cries of no.) The hun. member tells me so. Of the letter which he received from the brother of Capt. Christie he has told you that he conceived the opening sen tence of it to be so discourteous and disparaging that he thought it did not merit an answer. To the letter of Captain Christie himself the Us. member did send an answer, admitting that ho had been inaccurate about the age of Captain Christie, but that he was cut prepared to retract the opinion which he had formed of being in capable to perform his duty. Is this, then, a statement which cells on the house to visit the hon. member with that sort ()Nil:ph-mut e which it hits manifested to-night—a dis pleasure which could not have been more severe if the hon. member had beet, guilty of some dishonourable act. Hon. members may dissent from the opinion that a statement about age is nut dishonourable, but that does not meet any view of what is dishonourable, It appears to me that Capt. Christie was deeply wounded from what occurred, but tor what occurred I hold the right hon. baronet the member for Carlisle responsible, end not the hon. member for Aylesbury. His being superseded, and being ordered to be tried by a court-martial were the two events that cut to the heart of Captain Christie. and for those two events the right hon. baronet is re-ea eredble. One point has been omitted, but I think it due to the honourable member to make the statement on his behalf. The rieht honourable gentleman said that he was unwilling to subject Captain Cloistie to the ordeal which the hon. member desired. There have been both noblemen anti gentlemen before that committee—the honourable member for Aylesbury was brought into contact with thew, I use that term—and carefully abstained front putting questions to those geetle men. The right hon gentleman the member for Droitwich will hear me out when I say that the hon. gentleman need not h ive been afraid of that ordeal. It is au ordeal which the right hon. baronet has gone through himself, and I think he has not entre/ ed materially from it. (Hear.) Admiral BERKELEY thought he might be considered as good a judge of the character of Captain Christie and of his professional abilities as the hon. gentleman ; and he felt bound to say, though the right hot' baronet the mew her for Cerisle had taken the responsibility of the appoint ment, that he shared the responsibility, for the right. hon. baronet had consulted the board before making it. No roan !pure desired a court-martial than Captain Christie himself. It ought not to be said that the right hon. ba ronet, in carrying out the rules of the service, was in any way 1-10C.•LLAO of the "tied) of the gallant officer in questi u. Rather let it be seal of teose who malignantly attacked a man behind his back. Why had not the hun. member, when called npou by I hat touching letter of Captain Christie's dome,e the sister, i t i l n o s n w e e t r h e a d t tetveerryanlidoulovuh d her honourable man efficiency of the service was what the Admiralty look e d to in their appointments, and he must say au unprejudic ed mindwwould. have iir h person would have said, judging from the appearance of Captain Christie, that he was rather 45 than 70. Mr. OTWAY said he had no doubt the hon. member for Aylesbury had derived his information as to the nature of Captain Christie's duties, and the way in which they had been performed, from military authorities on the spot. He trusted the hon. member would not be deterred from ex posing the monstrous abuses in our military system, for ho " Captain Christie." I sent it to the ad.iress in question, but whether it was forwarded to Captain Christie, or not, I cannot say ; nor do I know what became of the letter. Now, sir, with re gard to Captain Christie's position in the harbour of Ba.- la.klavo., I may, perhaps, be allowed to refer to the evi dence taken before the committee, There is considerable doubt on the subject. The evidence of the witnesses clashes with regard to his powers. I myself formed my opinion from what I saw. I have a right to do so, and to express that opinion. I have refrained from giving any personal opinion on the evidence, leaving that task to the commit tee ; but if I can ask hon. gentlemen for any justice or fair play, I would ask them whether there is one word in the extract which authorised a court-martial to be held on Captain Christie. (Hear.) Because I said a man was 70 years of age, is that a reason for trying him by court-mar tial ? And now I actually find myself charged with the murder of Captain Christie. The right hon. gentleman behind me (Sir J. Graham), when in the committee-room the other day, in a tone and manner that ne one could mistake, and I appeal to the other members to confirm me, when answering a question, turned to me and said, " Cap tain Christie is dead—a broken-hearted man." (Hear.) Yes, it was well said by a right. hon. gentleman opposite, if you would trust a bad case to good hands, go there. (Rear, and laughter.) Who was responsible for Capt. Christie's trial? What said the right hon. gentleman tell the com mittee that Captain' Christie was put on his trial for ? Because I said he was an old man ? No, but because the right hon. gentleman at the head of the Admiralty thought he might be considered guilty of causing the loss of the Prince and of landing Turkish troops at Balaklava which ought to have been landed at Eupatoria. In what I may have said about the loss of the Prince, I always felt sure that Captain Christie had nothing to do with it. I was there the day after the loss of the Prince, and I was told by everybody that the Prince multi not come into 13 da kleva. Now, with regard to landing the troops at B da kleva instead of at Eupeteria, until the right hot. gentle man said so before the committee, I never heard a word about it. Captain Christie was sent to be tried on those two issues. I never raised them. If 0 +ptaln Christie has beau an ill-treated man, who ill-treated him ? It was the First Lord of the Admiralty (Sir James Graham) who first listened to those matters which must have come from other sources, and not from impute, i is I cast upou him. I may ne mistaken as to Captain Car Lte's :age (Laughter.) I remember a remarkable mistake as to ages, anti I will ap peal to the right hors. gentleman who corrected that rids take. In 1813, when a revolution broke out iu Servia, Lo; ti Aberdeen who was then Minister fur Foreign Affairs, jus tified to a certain extent the non-interference of this coun try, and the carrying out of the Russian policy, en the growl. I that the Prince Stirbey, who was then on the throne, was too young a man, who had been taken front obscurit , and who had no claim to his position. The right hon. gen tleman then pointed out that this young man was 40 years of age. The matter involved a question of great init.:rest, but was Lord Aberdeen attacked or accused on account of the mistake. But, when I make a mistake, you attack um as if compelled to do so by poltical or party reasons. I admit the mistake ate ut the age,; but if you think that by crushing me—a poor man, a man of no weight in this house •you may sacceed, but you will not crush the cause with which lain identified. (Hear.) You arehere to shout me down because I attack a sy-term by which you hon. and gallant members sit in the house, and rise in th e ran k s o f the army without encountet iug the dangers and lighting the battles of your country. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) You mayhuut me down, but the country will not stand it. (Oh.) Hon. gentlemen may repeat their cries, but I warn them again that sooner or later—(Here the close of the sentence was drowned in cries of " Oh.") 1N ow, sir, with regard to Captain Christie, no man can be more grieved than I am at his death. If I could have done anything to save him I should gladly have done it. quite as readily as if he was my nearest and dearest relative. But I contend I had a right to say, as a Member of Parliament, he was incompe tent to hold his position if I thought so ; and I say a member of Parliament has no right to be exposed to attacks, as I have been more than once, for doing his duty —for the country will believe that such attacks are only made for party purposes. (Oh, oh, and cheers.) Mr. FERGUS, in explanation, said the hon. gentleman had totally misunderstood his question. The letter he re ferred to was not a letter from Capt. Christie, but a let ter from Mrs. Boswell, Capt. Christie's sister, forwarded by himself to the hon. gentleman on the 28th February. Sir J. PAKINGTON —As a member of the Sebastopol committee, I feel bound to take some notice of the evidence given by the right hon. gentleman (Sir J. Grale.m). must say I never heard a more unfair representation of that evidence than that which has been given by the hon. member for Aylesbury. I heard the right hon. gentleman allude to the then supposed death of capt. Christie, for it had not then been ascertained, and the right hon. gen ' tleinan with a depth of feeling which I think did him honour, said he believed at that moment that Captain Christie was dead of a broken heart. I heard no more from the right hon. gentleman than what a man of good feeling could have said who was giving evidence with re ference to Capt. Christie at a moment of such melancholy interest. I cannot refrain from adding my very deep re gret at the etiurse the hen. member fur Aylesbury has taken on this subject. He says this wetter is brought forward for party purposes, and that there is an endeavour to cru s h him. Let me tell him that if he is crushed he will have crushed himself. (Cheers ) He will crush himself, as any man will crush himself, who brings forward these loose charges against public servants under circumstances which prevent him from substantiating those charges. The ben. gentleman is a man of great ability. He is a man able to do good service, and I hope he w;11 do good service ; but if anything will prevent his rendering good service, it will be the want of precision and the want of care with which he ventures upon these charges. How does this matter stand now about. Captain Christie ? To an officer, profes sional character is everything. The hon. gentleman comas down, and says, in reference to an officer, he is 70 years of age, and too old for service, being unable to leave his ves sel for six or seven days at a time for fear of catching a catarrh, and that he is unable to perform the public ser vice. He then receives letters both from the sister and from the brother of Captain Christie. He receives that touching letter, which has been read by the hon. gentle man who so ably bronght forwar this matter. He re ceives a letter also from the blether. Last of all, he re ceives a letter from Capt. Christie himsel -after receiving which, I confess, I should have thought that no man of honour would have done less than acknowledge his error (Hear.)

I coZti MR. LAYARD—THE LATE CAPTAIN CHRISTIE. Mr. FERGUS would ask the indulgence of the boas,: while he proceeded to rescue the character of a gallant officer from great and unmerited obloquy. (Hear.) It had been stated in that house that the harbour of Balaklava had been entrusted to Captain Christie, an old man up wards of 70 years of age, who.from infirmity was unable to leave his ship for six or seven days together without en,lan gering his life. The question was then asked, such a man being in command of the harbour of Balaklava, who could wonder at the state in which it remained? Now what were the facts? He had known in close neighbourhood Captain Christie many years. He had never known that officer to have any physical complaint. He was 57 ' , cars of age w hen he left this country for Balaklava, and he was of vigorous and athletic constitution. Captain Christie was never in command of the harbour of Balaklava —he was in command of the transports outside the harbour, and he was always where his duty called him. There was every allowance to be made for a gentleman who was, with a single eye, conscien tiously engaged in making investigations for the good of the country, for any false information he might collect ; but t hat gentleman was bound, after making incorrect statements, when facts were explained, to give his statements full and proper contradiction and explanation. In Feb. last a letter was written to the gentleman who made the statement in question : " Sir, - I read with much regret your statements with regard to Captain Christie. A reference to the Admiralty books would easily show you that he entered the service in 1813, being then 12 years old. I shall not trouble you 'with a detail of his service s , b u t you will find he has al ways been accounted an energetic and painstaking offieer. At lialaklsva having been ordered outs id e t h e harbour, along with the transports. previous to the gala of the 11th of November, he saved the ship in which he was—the Melbourne—through his own exertions in cutting away the masts. He also 3 times sent in a lieutenant to beg the senior naval officer to allow the Prince to go into harbour, as she had only one anchor ; hut that was refused, and she was lost. You will at once perceive that your statement has placed an active an meritorious officer, 57 years of age in the eyes of the country in the position of an imbecile dotard. (Cries of hear.) Trusting to your known gene rosity of character I cannot doubt that you will pub licly correct a mistaken statement so publicly made. I am, sure you will excuse the feelings of a sister,and the tres pass on your time, on behalf of an absent brother." (Cheers.) Now, he wished, though not exactly to the question, to aa that the statement with regard to the Prince transport was perfectly correct, and would have been confirmed by Captain Christie himself had he lived to take his trial by court-martial ; it would be confirmed by the right Lou. gentleman who was at the time at the head of the Adtui talt3r. Another letter was written to the hon. gentleman "T 5. b I o _roFther of Captain Christie, which bore truth on the %al:it an I it.

Mr. NAPIER called attention to the circumstances con nected with the recent nominations to the practical class at Woolwich, and made particular allusion to the treat ment experienced in this matter by seven students of Trinity College, Dublin, who, having reason to suppose that they should obtain appointments in the Woolwich Academy in the event of their passing an examination in the science of military engineering in the Dublin Univer sity, did pass the examination in a very creditable manner, and yet were refused appointments. The pro7oet of the university had corresponded with the Board of Ordnance, but no redress wa. to be had. Lord PALMERSTON interposed with his answer to the question put by the hon. member for Stafford. There were a certain numbe• of prisoners, Poles and Russians, taken in the Baltic. The Poles showed a great desire to join a Polish corps, now forming, in the Turkish service, under the command of a Pole, Colonel Czartarowski. They were sent out at the expense of the British Government, :mil furnished with arms. They were enrolled in the Turkish service, in a corps called by a name which sigoitied that they were not a part of the regular. army, and their banner was the cross and the crescentcombined. With i hese Poles a certain number of persons ee the Polish emigration went out desirous of the same service. Every man of these went of his own accord, and it rested with the Turkish Go vernment to determine where they should be employed. Mr. MONSELL, in answer to the right hon. gentleman the member for the University of Dublin, said that the appointments in question were not in the hands of the board, ~ ut in those of the Lieutenant-General of the Ord nance. There were two points to be considered, which the hon. and learned gentletuau ha l mixed up--first, whether the principle of nomination was a good one ; eext, whether the existing principle had or had not been fairly carried out. He did not wish to express any opinion on the first point. With respect to the second, he believeil that it had been fairiy acted upon at Wo: , lwicli, where, though every care was taken that the young men should be tit for the service, ne.e-it was not the ground of nomination. He ex pressed no opinion - as to wheher the principle of nomina tion was a goal or b. el one, but he did not think that it lid been uefairly aeeliedin the present instance. Mr. WHITE - ;IDE said that it seemed to be the custom now to fall back on the system for any abuses that might arise. Mr. H. VERNON bore testimony to the zeal which the Clerk of the Or inance had manifested in his endeavours to intro:ince reforms into tlie department of which Le was at the head. _ Mr. V. SCULLY said it was a curious thing that when hon. gentlemen were out of office everything appeared to them to ha done by I.vour and nothing by merit. After a few words from Colonel DUNNE, The motion for the adjournment of the house until Mon day was agreed to. EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. . . The adjourned debate upon the question that the house should go into committee upon this bill was resumed by The Earl of DALKEITII, who supported the resolution, and objected to the Lord Advocate's bill that it did not make sufficient provision for the religious instruction of the young. Mr. COWAN opposed the resolution, and dilated at some length upon.the inefficiency- of clerical superinten dence of schools, as shown in the impunity with which schoolmasters of the lost generation committed all sorts of immoralities. Ile contrasted this with the vigilant care with which the inspectors watched over the ability and aptitude of the teachers, showing the superiority of their system. He defended the absence of religious tests from the bill, on the ground that the religious feelings of the people were sufficient to secure the religious principle, while the separation of the Church into sects, chiefly , arising from the tyranny of a majority, rendered it impos t Bible to agree upon any test that would meet the views of all parties. Sir G. MONTGOMERY opposed the bill on the grounds that it provided no security for religious teaching, and would break up a system that worked well. Mr. MACKIE spoke in favour of the amendment, and against the bill. Lord DUNCAN reminded the house that they were no: discussing the second reading of the bill, but whether it should be divided—in other words, to pieces. He read official returns showing the vast number of criminals utterly ignorant even of reading, and asked whether edu cation could be iu a satisfactory state under the existing system. The object of this bill was not to exclude out to secure religious teaching, by removieg the obstacle opposed by sectarian differences, while it left the parochial schools as much as possible upon their present footing. Sir A. CAMPBELL said, the question being whether the present system should be abolished, it should be shown that the parochial schools were on a faulty system, and that the new schools would be upon a better system, which hail not been done. POLLARD•URQUIIART supported the bill, which he considered was urgently required by :he present cir cumstances of Seotland. Mr. SMOLLETr opposed the bill, because it contained no adequate security for the maintenance of the religious character of the schools, and for religious instruction there. • He should vote. be said, for the amendment. Mr. BOWYE:t noticed the operation of the bill upon Roman Catholics and non-Presby Lei ians by the oiniseion of the denominational clause. The former, especiady, could not seperete religieue from seculai education, so that the bill would be weds-ively Presbyterian. Mr. SCOTT disputed t:.e statist e ieett data upon which the Lure Advocate had founded his ergueient in f teem'. of the bill, and called upon Eeglieh mein hers not to aid in the overthrow of au alicient system, providing a sound and cheap telucetioo, in favour of a no v-fatigleit and un ified one. which would supersede local Control and dry up th e source , of pi ivate euppol t. Lord EXIIO, after appealing to Mr. Stirlin e 's bill De an ad miseion that further in a e sn a .:i n li s i,e o trb f ye e , : at lu o c s a t t l i e : hi r N i ev weie required for the people of Seotland, called the attention of E ,glish to the o ww f he t i' the vista ' v wr o sa t )1 1E t s i: ::+ hg o e n the principle .1 i n a e t i l t i e o l " 1 get: i w in i ll; sought to banish the evils of :a deneniinatienel ethic tien and to diffuse the benefits of a united education. He ael ru parochial sell eds, which this bill witted that this sivente g e ought net to b purchesed be the :steendinent he preceeded to principle of this measure, and i w e t! (1t,004 o v er throwing i b ' Ke v t i e n , :f i g ; ,t e t h , t i e o t l e he replied to the arguments urged in its support. Mr. BLACKBURN thought that as the bill, by the con fession of the Lord-A. Ivocate, was to carry out two olbjeet.e, it would be much more convenient and beneficial to divide it into two bills. The existing system, uuder which the schools depended upon the Church, ha l been, ho observed, most successful, and uo party in Scotland asked for this measure. Mr. LAING pointed out the incompatibility of the amendment with the principle of the bill, which was to sever the intiinete connexion between the Est .blisheil Church of Scotland, which had ceased to be the church of the nation, and the parochial schools .An 'urgent practical necessity arose for -chools to meet the wants of the country, and, as it was impossible to adhere to the old system, the bill very properly excluded a test and the control of the presytery in the new schools, but, being founded upon a compromise, it did not apply to the parochial schools under the old system. The LORD-ADVOCATE made a few observations iu reply to objections to the bill and upon the questions raised by the amendment, dwelling upon the mischievous results of cutting the bill in two. He deeied that the parochial schools belonged to the Established Church of Scotland; they belonged to the nation. His proposition was this— that Scotland being the only part of the United Kingdom ripe for a common system of education, it should be built upon the footing of a common faith. Mr. Sergeant SHE E in s i s t e d th a t th e no bl e l or d a t th e head of th Government should pledge the Government to give a larger educational grant to the Roman Catholics be fore he would agree to support the bill. , Lord PALMERSTON said the bill did not prejudice the case of the Roman Catholics. But the learre d gentle. man wished the Government to pledge themselves to do something more, and to give a larger educational grant. All he could say was, that was a matter for the commit tee of Privy Council. and had nothing to do with the bill. Lord J. MANNERS appealed to the son. member for Sheffield to withdrew his motion for the adjournment. Mr. HADFIELD withdrew his motion accordingly, but proceeded on voluntary grounds to argue against the bill.

( From a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.) WAR DEPARTMENT, MAY 18. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. Before Sebastopol, May 5 My Lord,—Since I wrote to your Itudship on the lit instant nothing of importance has arisen' the enemy still appear to be collecting troops upon the high gronad on the opposite side of the Tchernaya, in the neighbourhood of Sebastopol, and convoys are constantly seen moving in that direction. The fire from the place upon our trenches has not been heavy ; but, notwithstanding, I have some casualties to report to you, as shown in the accompanying returns ; anti I have to lament the death of three promising young officers, Lieutenants Carter of the Royal Engineers, Curtis of the 46th, and White of tho 62d Regiments. On the night of the Ist inst-int the French attacked a kind of counterguard which the Russians had established in front of the central bastion. The operation was quite successful, and the enemy were driven out with great loss, leaving behind them nine small mortars. Our Allies have remained in the work, notwithstanding the heavy fire to whist} they have been exposed, and have established themselves therein, frus trating the efforts made by their adversaries to dispossess them of it on the following day, when a vigorous sortie was repulsed, and the Russians were again great sufferers. The conduct of the French troops was very brilliant. I have, Szc.,, RAGLAN. The Lord Panmure, &c. &c Enclosure 1. RETURN OF CASUALTIES FROST THE 30TH APRIL, TO THE 3n YI IT, 1855.
