Pe eirieee.,(o-the combust and perseverance of the hon. merener for Montrose: - Now, ho should like the hon. and gallant member to look over the votes of past years and point out to him any ono where the hon. member for Mon trose had peopOsed a reduction of men. He had been in the house fora good number of years, and he had never seen a Government copse forward and ask for a certain number of men without receiving a grant of that number. So far, therefore, the charge was unjust ; but it, was unjust on other grounds also. He had served for three years con secutively on committees on estimate s for the army, the navy, the ordnance, along with tho hon. member for Montrose, and he had never found that hon. member pro pose any vote which tended to reduce the efficiency of the service.' He always insisted, however, on the right of the house to see how the money was spent. (Hear, hear.) It was a very difficult thing, and a vary disagree. able thing indeed, to be always objecting to payments offered be officers and men of distinction. The fa vourite estimates of the hon. member for Montrose were the Conservative estimates of the year 1834-5 ; and when ever he wanted to taunt a Government with their esti matcs,ehe referred back to those model estimates of the Conservative party. (Hear, hear.) The present was a time when no one wished to reduce estimates. We wanted especially at this time to maintain an effective cavalry force. Our present cavalry amounted to no more than 9,000. "What a miserable force with which to go to war with Rus sia. (Hear, hear.) And then of those 9,000, three regi ments were household troops, who were little more than beef-eaters. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It seemed to him that it might be right for the sake of the splendour of the court to keep up one magnificent regiment, in which the horses were so great and the men so heavy as to be quite unserviceable iu the position in which they were wanted —(hear, and laughter)--but it was surely unnecessary to keep up three regiments on that scale. Mr. H. J. BAILLIE had understood that the proposed land ttansport service was to consist of 8,000 men. The number of horses attached to such a corps could not be less than 12,000. It would be necessary to calculate some such number, for the food of those animals would have to be sent from this country. They had the authority of no less a person than the Earl of Cardigan that the horses corn posing our cavalry force in the Crimea had been literally starved to death. It was generally understood that the cavalry in the Crimea was to be increased by at least 1,200 men, now on their way from India, and by at least a simi lar number to be sent from this country. There had never been any explauation why the horses in the Crimea had been starved to death. Barley, it was known, could be procured in any quantity at a distance of only two days' sail. The head of the commissariat department, however, still retained his place, and therefore it could not be sup posed that the Government had any serious cause of com plaint against him. It had been stated that recruits were now to be engaged between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-six, and for periods of one, two, or three years. He had never before heard of engaging troops for one year. That would scarcely give time for the recruits to be drilled and brought into a condition to be of service. He therefore supposed no man would be engaged for less than three years, and he wished to know whether men en gaged for that period were to be allowed the same bounty money.as those engaged for the ordinary term of years? He also wished to know whether any steps had been taken to enlist the foreign corps ? Sir E. PERRY should like to know what was the real expense of the British army. The army expenses were so much scattered over different estimates that. no man out of the Government could come even to an approximation of the aggregate expenditure. The country had lately heard with delight that no fewer than sixty sergeants of the line had been endowed with commissions for gallant conduct in the field. He wished to know whether, at the time those commissions were presented, there was given to those ser geants any allowance to enable them to take up their posi tions as gentlemen? Such allowances were absolutely ne cessary, and documents in the library of the house showed that they were made in France. There had been brought forward in the house that night a question which deeply occupied the public attention—the question of aristocratic influence in the English army. This question mast be dealt with by some statesman who was able to read the signs of the times. It was no vulgar demagogue who an nounced to the people of England that the cold shade of aristocracy was withering their army. On the contrary, it was a man of the highest rank both in the army and among the proudest aristocratic families of which we could boast. When he (Sir E. Perry) contrasted the moral condition of the soldiers in the Crimea with the moral condition of the soldiers who fought our battles in the revolutionary war, the last of whom were said to be the outpourings of the streets of London, he felt that the tithe was come when that great question must be dealt with, and the same plain career afforded in the army as was to be found in other ranks in this country. It was from no insolent sen timent of ill will to the aristocracy that his hon. friend had brought forward this question. For himself, his own sympathies and interests were all bound up with the insti tutions of the country ; but the statesmen who guided their counsels must. now adapt the institutions of the country, to what they saw around them on every side, and it was because the noble lord at the head of the Govern ment was capable of effecting such an adaptation that he (Sir E. Perry) was willing to give a strenuous support to the noble lord's Government ; but he wished particularly to express the dissatisfaction with which he had heard the taunts and ill-deserved sneers which had been levelled at his honourable friend who pointed out where the blot lay. This question was so much connected with the committee to be moved for on Thursday next, that he must make a few observations with reference to it. He had come clown .to the Meuse the other day with au earnest desire to be able to retract the vote he had given on a former occasion. He had expected that the noble lord at the head of the Government would have put forward such a vigorous pro gramme of the conduct of the war that he should have been able to reconcile to his conscience and his constitu ents the change in his conduct ; but on hearing the plans which had been adopted, he only felt, in common, he be lieved, with the greater portion of the house, a blank fee' ing of chill and dissatisfaction. (Cheers.) The hon. member fur Aylesbury had pointed out the extraordinary fetters placed upon the executive in the field, and the noble lord had given no answer to any one of those objections. If the Government wee not satisfied with their Commander iu-Chief their course was obvious, the whole country being with them ; but their new mode of shackling a gene ral in the field with commissioners tied round his neck, and with power almost to diselace him, would paralyse the efforteeof any man, however gifted ho might be in the conduct of war. His lieu. friend had been taunted with citing the commissioners de l a surctj publique as an ex ample to be followed ; but, on the contrary, the honour able member had pointed to tint as the only instance on record in which such an extraordinary procedure was re sorted to ; and, in fact, • to make that commission succeed, the commissioners were armed with an arbitrary guil- Mine. (Laughter.) As an independent member of the house, and as a supporter of the Gove: nment —(a laugh)—he had ventured to make these observations. He obterved that his calling himself a supporter of the Government called up some smiles on the opposite side of the house. Ho could assure the honour able gentlemen who sat opposite that he had uo desire at all to see them sitting in the places of the present Govern -Ment; isor shonldhe•ever -wish to live under such a rule as theirs. (Laughter and cheers.) Their Chancellor of the Exchequer, wpulde under Lord Derby, probably have been the right honourable gentleman tho leader of the Opposi ' tiod ; and: tlieer War Minister would have been a noble men nnderevhose rule he (Sir E. Perry) had lived during a most eventful period ' • and if any ono wanted to see what sort of a War Minister that noble lord would have made, let them turn td the last chapter of " Thornton's History of India!' He (Sir E. Perry) believed that the noble lord at the head of the. Government would do anything his ge , nine suggested for the conduct of the war • and, as an in "dependent member, and a supporter of the Government, 'he had thus ventured to express an opinion as to what he should like to see done. He, as well as those who shared his. opinions, looked to the noblel lord to mould the policy of the Government with vigour according to the spirit of the nation and the exigencies of the crisis. • Mr. PERCY must complain of the deductions made in the soldier's pay for the expense of his clothing and other comforts, in time *of war, and thought that if this system went on between the noble lord and the Secretary for War the firm would soon be known by the appellation of Moses and Son. (Laughter.) At Scutari he had been told, by the medical men connected with the hospital there, that there prevailed a deplorable want of proper clothing for sick and wounded, and men were sent thence as convales cents who, on arriving at their destination, wore found to be so ill that they were obliged to be sent back again. He urged on the Government to provide proper clothing in the different hospitals for convalescents going out to the Crimea, and also for those returning to England, because he heard that a convalescent returing to England had only the clothing which the sailors and marines wore. He must also allude to the stoppages made from the soldier's pay for hospital • allowances. He knew an instance in which several hundred sick and wounded were landed from the Acorn at Scutari, who arrived at the hos pital in such a state as to be incapable of taking care of themselves, having lost their kits. The authorities refused to supply them with 'knives and forks, because, by the re gulations, a soldier was obliged to find these articles, but fortunately there were other parties who supplied them. He thought great blame must be attributable to some of the subordinate officers, as he was ready to express his belief that no one could be more zealous or active in the cause of the soldier than the late Secretary at War (Mr. S. Herbert). He wished to ask :shy it was that there were so many ships at Beycos Bey lying idle and doing nothing ? Why could they not drop down to Scutari, where they might 'anchor in perfect security, and their crews might be employed in landing the sick and wounded, and assist ing to carry them to the hospital, instead of leaving them to the tender mercies of the Turks? (Hear, hear.) If the house had seen, as he himself had, 450 sick landed in one day, they would acknowledge that there was much cause for this question. (Hear, hear.) He believed that on that n occasion a request was actually made that, a ship should drop a . to - :Scutari, but was refused ; some days elapsed before th e" Poor wretches were landed, and during that tHitne°w-touberawieredying on the deck in their miserable rags.. a lik's 6 all the attention of the right hon. gentle man to the state of where they weeerm the staff surgeons in the hospitals, to be dischaig e o b y ti v ! , pon to perform duties that ought roll.

I n f a ct, a great part of the misery endured by our Anon was owing to the insufficient protection they had ag a i nst the weather. For this p ur p ose the arrangements a lopt e a in the French service were admirable, the troops being provided with small tents, which the men could carry about with them. He had received a letter from Colonel Elters Napier, who . t ,ok a great interest in these matter`, which acquainted him that a tent hat been transmitted to - hint, divi led into six parts or more, of se light a nature as to be carried by a man on foot, which was capable of holding six persons, and was the invention of a ptivato soldier—as he had been informed by Getiorel Bas ;list sees also the case with the tent ustal by the French. If Wo entered upoh a summer campaign, we might expect greet suffering again to be experienced by our army ; and ho must again urge the adoption of a better mode of covering the troops, especially that a better description of hospital • marquees should be chosen. It was remarkable that, during the gale of the 14th November, when every one of • our tets was blown down, not a sin g l e Turkish tent had been. Another point he wished to allude to was the en listment of the new proposed corps of cavalry. • Govern - • went always appeared to do the right thi ng at, the wrong time, and in the wrong place. (A. laugh.) They were n e e ? nY about to send English officers to raise t • ...easel brkt cavalry they might as well send them to I ce l an d, or a other rter. If they wanted an excellent and effi- cieut Goer irregular . . cavalry, they ought to send to Asia ..._ _. Minor, where it would be easy to raise mils body amongst the tribes of Anatolia. Mr. JOHN A.I'GREGGOR (who rose amid some confu sion) said, that if the home would not give him a hearing, ho should move that the Chairman report progress. (Oh !) In spite of the sneers which met him from hon. gentlemen opposite (on th 3 Ministerial benches), he wished to express his opinions upon the question which had caused so much excitement throughout the country. He wished to saythat he had great confidence in the noble lord at the head of the Government, but that he had no confidence in the Cabinet which the noble lord had formed, for it was a Cabinet condemned alike by the country, by this house, and, with one exception by every public paper in the kingdom. (" Oh, oh !" and laughter.) With regard to what had been said of our officers, he would state his belief that there was no officer more deserving of our admiration than was Sir Colin Campbell for his conduct in the field ; and of the Duke of Cambridge ke would also observe that there was not in the whole course of history a record of more heroic conduct than that exhibited by hie Royal Highness. He could not allow that, as to these two officers at least, there was any want of bravery or of military skill. (neer, hear.) But then he came to the supplies sent out to our army, and on this subject he would express his belief that there was not a single house of respectability iu London, in Liverpool, or Glasgow that would not be ashamed of the manner in which these supplies had been sent out. Every merchant sent out supplies in a satisfactory manner. Take, for example, the house of Green and Co. (Laughter.) Yes . but not "green" in their experience and mode of conduct ine business. The Admiralty were " gr een"—(lanitei2 i 7- d. and the Commissariat were " g reen. " (Hear, hear, laughter.). But he was referring to Me ssrs. Green and Co., the' groat shipowners, and if they examined into the sub ject they would find that all their cargoes were delivered iu own ships, nobody seemed to know w proper order and according to , sched h u e le r , e i t v o hi ti l n e, d a t s h t e o a o r t ti r . w c cargoes. g i i o e e w s . in e l n IT t e o h c a a d r r a y new ot Go vernment. hoe vvceilerewsnmswaehnuidtc.hthYceoehmsopul o e s s ße t du d t e t s hh i e g aid n r s (as he believed them to be) of that Government? Nothing of the kind. They hid found it a matter of ease and comfort to take the actual staff of blundering subordinates already in existence. Then they were threatened with a dissolution of Parliament. For his own part, ho never could go to his constituents so comfort. ably as he could now. But he believed that those members who had voted, or who should vote, in opposition to in quiry would, on going to their constituents, find themselves in a miserable position. (Cheers and laughter.) Spearing in the full spirit of an independent member, he deplored the position of the noble lord, and deplored his choice of a Cabinet which, he repeated, did not possess the confidence of the country. Mr. RICH observed that the increase in the number of troops during the present year was 35,000, besides an ter rear of 5,000 voted last year, but who could not be raised 'on account of recruits not coming forward. He thought the allowance of 20,000 for casualties extremely low, as unhappily there had not been fewer than 30,003 during the past year in the Crimea. He thought it was a most. seri ous subject, and requested to know the total number of the army. According to the - vote, 40,000 men were to be raised. The casualties were put at 20,000, but he was sure 40,000 would be nearer the mark. Before the house came to a vote, it ought to be informed how the force was to be kept up. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said there would be no objection on the part of the house to vote certain sums which had been asked for. They had voted nearly the same sums last year—for instance, for the clothing, but the clothing never got there—(laughter)—and he ba heard no statement to explain how the clothes which they were going to pay for would also arrive at their destination. The house was going to vote a certain number of horses; they had horses last year, but they had been starved to death. (Hear.) ; They were going to send out horses to the Crimea, but it had not been stated, either that night or at any other time whether any alteration had been made since that time twelve months which might show thehouse that they were not going to starve the horses again. He was of opinion that the house ought not to vote 9,000 horses to be starved to death—(hear)—and he asked what machinery had they now—what man had they who would say, " These things shall not be ; do your duty, or I will turn you out, every one of you ?" A man of strong mind and will was wanted, and not a twaddling red-tapist who would starve the troops. (Hear, and laughter.) Mr. NE\VDEGATE hoped the committee would consi der that this was already the 19th of February, and would insist upon knowing whether means were being taken to provide the troops in the Crimea with clothing for sum mer. He should repeat his question that day week, and he hoped the Under-Secretary for the War Department would get up and say that this clothing was in progress; for it was surely time that it was being prepared. With respect to the cavalry, he had heard that they had no horses. If they wanted horses fit for immediate service, he hoped that they would not rely upon such horses as they could pur chase for 401., unless some limit was assigned to prepare them for the exposure they would have to undergo. If they were at once taken from the warm stables of England to the pickets in the Crimea, they would die like rotten _ sheep. He trusted that Government would take care that these horses should be immediately put through some course to prepare them for the service they would have to meet. He had been informed that some of the irregular cavalry is India had volunteered for service in Turkey. Why had these men not been made use of? He trusted that Government would not reject this proposal, which would give them seasoned troops and seasoned hones for the ensuing campaign. Ho eulogised the conduct of the regimental officers which had been as far before those of other nations as their men had been before the men of other nations. They had always won the victory, and they had only asked for one condition, namely, that they should be brought face to face with the enemy. Where, then, was the failure I Were the duties of the transport service or of the commissariat performed by members of the aris tocracy ? Was the medicaldepartment in the hands of the aristocracy? The failure in the Crimea was due to the commissariat, to the miserable substitute for the transport service, and to the inefficient staff of medical officers. Now he (Mr. Newdegete) maintained that the gentlemen and noblemen of England engaged in the service of the country in regimental or in high commands had done their duty. (Hear, hear.) But those which were called the civil departments had lapsed into a miserable state of con fusion. There appeared to be amongst them no mind of sufficient calibre to rectify the evils engendered by a long period of peace. It was, in his opinion, those civil de partments, and not the aristocratic branches of the army, iu which the failures had occur red or to wnich the cala mities in the Crimea wero to be attributed. (Hear.) Mr. OT tTAY said it was to the inaptitude of the gentle men who composed the important branches of the service that the failures were owing. He meant the staff of the army. (Hear.) There was in this conntry an establish ment ably conducted by professors of eminence, to_ which every officer in the army could have access by applying for it. They might there learn everything necessary to fit them for staff duties ; and he believed this eet iblisliment sent out a nnually 30 officers fitly qualified for every department of the army. Unfortunately, however, those officers were hardly ever appointed to staff situations—(hear)—and the consequence was, that the staff of the English army was so inefficient that it brought upon it the derision of every foreign officer who might come into contact with it. (Hear.) He had no objection to the vote, and he was surprised that the number of troops asked for was so small, if the Govern ment thought there was a chance of procuring more. He could not, however, help expressing his regret that, consi dering the deficiencies of the military system, the hon. gen tleman the Under Secretary of the War Department (Mr. F. Peel) should not have inaugurated his advent to the office by expressiug his intention of introducing modifications into some parts of that system. For instance, the manner in which commissions were purchased in the service was a most ridiculous arrangement. Some steps had been taken in the right direction ' • but the system of the French army ought to be carried out, by which a certain number of va cancies amongst the officers were filled up from the ranks. The result was, that every man who joined the ranks of the French army could rely upon it, that if he distinguished himself in battle, or in any other way, he was certain of being promoted to the rank of officer, which was his right. Ho had suggested before that the cavalry from India should be employed in Turkey, but the proposition had been coldly received. Why did they not send for some regiments from India? There were the Sikh, Scinde, and Goorkab regiments, who were excellent soldiers and well-mounted, as every one who had seen the Ar a b h orses u p on w hi c h the cavalry in India were mounted would admit. He knew that in the campaign in Cabul and Affghanistan there were less casualties amongst these horses, which were never in stables but always picketed, than there were upon or service in England. There was another point in the purchase system which deserved serious attention—viz., with reference to the pensions of widows of officers who full not in active service, but who died in the service of their country from other causes. They had had to deplore the loss of several members of the house, some of whom had fallen in battle, some from sickness. 'What was the / case with regard to one member of the house—an officer in the Guards. He must have paid some 8,000/. or. 9,000/. for his commission. He did not mean to presume to enter into any family affairs, but he had a right to presume that that man was like tho generality of officers, not a man of large fortune. Supposing he was a married man, and left children uaprovided for, it was unjust that, this officer having died from sickness under such circumstances, hie wife and family should have no provision from the State. The next thing he heard was that the eldest son of a peer, one of the richest men in England, was appointed to the vacant commission without purchase. It was a monstrous ' injustice that a commission in the Guards, which ought to be the reward of distinguished merit, should, under these circumstances, have been obtained without any purchase money being paid by that officer, or at least some money being paid into the fund out of which the pensions were provided. Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, the hon. and gallant officer who began this discussion entered into an argument upon the general arrangements which her Majesty's Government have made with regard to the war. He stated his opinion that this country, not being, as he conceives, a military nation, ought not, when it embarked—or was compelled to engage—in war with Russia, to have attempted any opera tions with a military force, but ought to have confined it self entirely. to naval operations by the fleet ; and he seemed to think that it would have been sufficient to send a fleet to blockade the Russian ports in the Baltic, and another fleet to blockade the Russian ports in the Black Sea, and that by these means we should have been able to coerce the Russian Government as to compel them to accede to the terms we might have thought fit to require. Now, I most entirely differ from the hon. and gallant member upon that point. It is manifest, I 'think, to everybody that the mere action of a naval force never could have I exercised ruch a coercion upon the Government of Russia as to accomplish any decisive or useful results. I deny , entirelyraa the assertion the lion. and gallant member has r . s thede, that n et said d t operations hat u, we heafdthe sentna v o y u were a maatatne magnificent tby fleetno to Bga.ltici, and that it came back without having done i g t re d a e t s e t r r /o l e e anythin t l l izatenr c l i y ir d , o i ny that.

We undertook the war to defend Turkey against the aggres sion of Russia. We did not undertake it, as some have while probably the cavalry would not be found so well adapted to the nature of the country and that service in which it would be engaged as cavalry belonging almost to the country in which the operations were to bo performed. As to transferring from India such officers as Major Outram and Major Edwardes, my liglat hon. friend the President of the Board of Control would probably have a word or two to say upon that point, because. India is worth protecting as well as Sebastopol is worth attacking —(hear, hear)—and those officers are occupying points of great importance in India ; and I apprehend that the 1 Governor-General of Indig would not at all thank the represented, because we preferred a Mahomedan to a Chrristian. We made war because it was to the interests of the world that the vast region under the sway of Tur key should not fall under the dominion of Russia. (Hear.)

At Sebastopol there -was centered the great power of Russia; and, if we de sired to strike an effectual blow at it, it was there that we must do it. (Hear, hear.) The difficulties attendant upon this expedition were greater than were anticipated when wo undertook it. I will not now enter into a dis cussion as to whether those difficulties were increased by want of arrangement or bad management on the spot, and the House ought to look with come indul gence ou the errors of men who have not had the expe rience in the duties they were called upon suddenly to per form which might have enabled them to have discharged those duties with greater efficiency and success. The hon. and gallant member said that we have an academy here in which staff officers may learn their duties; but it is well known that learning duties in an academy, and the actual performance of them, are as different as any two things can well be. (Hear.) The armies on the Continent have a great advantage in this respect over the army of Eng land. On the Continent the great bulk of the armies are within the Government territory—they assemble in large bodies and are called together for great operations in the sunnuer, and a mimic war teaches them the duties of a real campaign. Our army has not had that advantage, and the first instance in which anything of the kind took place was when, in small numbers, the troops assembled ;at Chobham ; therefore we ought not to condemn too hastily men who have not had the opportunity of practising duties they were called upon to perform under circumstances of unparalleled difficulty. So mush for the policy of her M ajesty's Government in the conduct of the war, and, had we confined it to naval operations, it would have been perfect imbecility on our part to have done so ; and I contend that, having entered on military operations, that the point to which these operations have been directed was the point, and the only point, where au effectual blow could be struck at the adversary with whom we are engaged. (Cheers.) An hon. member has made a suggestion worthy of conside ration. Ho stated the hardships that fell on officers re turning to this country, suffering from wounds received in the service, being unable to receive that assistance from the hospitals which naval officers do. I am unable to say whether the military arrangements will, at present, permit of any such arrangement ; but the suggestion is oneworthy of the consideration of the Government. (Hear, hear.) My hon. friend says that, when an officer has received a severe wound, the regulations of the service give him a gratuity of a year's pay, which is to enable him to receive such medical assistance as the condition of his wounds may re quire. My hon. friend the member for Lambeth, as usual, condemned the household troops; be thought there was no use in having a body of men like these, created with higher pay and privileges than the rest of the army. We are often told that we ought to imitate the military orga nisation of foreign countries, and that the reason that our operations aro not so successful is because we do not follow their example. Now, if there is one arrangement that prevails more than any other in foreign armies it is that of having some one corps entitled to greater privileges and distinction than the rest of the army. To such an extent is this carried in the French service, that. the Imperial Guard has been re-organised, it having of late years been abolished, and I lately had the pleasure of seeing 13,000 of these fine troops reviewed in the gardens of the Tuileries. Whether we take the Russian, the Austrian, Prussian, or French armies—in all these services there will be found a body of troops corresponding with the brigade of Guards —and as to the manner in which these troops perform their duty—(cheers)--I can only say that if there is on any occasion a desperate resistance to be made, or a dis tinguished service to be performed, there is always a regi ment of the Guards to do it. (Cheers.) It has been ob jected by a noble lord (Seymour) that the Household Bri gade was only for show—that it could never be employed —that both men and horses were too heavy—does my noble friend forget the battle of Waterloo ? (Rear, hear.) Does he forget that it was the weight of the men and the weight of the horses that.this beautiful force overpowerd erouthing that was opposed to them on the field of Wa terloo ? Does he forget that in the Peninsula the House hold Brigade was employed with great utility and success? They have not been sent to the Crimea because it is too distant, and the nature of the ground does not require troops of this particular description. The hon. member for Lambeth was sorry at not seeing in the estimates that consolidation of the departments which has been announced as desirable. The fact is, there is no con solidation of the departments which can supersede the necessity of having a great number of clerks for the examination and settlement of the accounts for the army and the militia, and others sent into the War-office; there fore, any hon. members who wished that, by placing all the civil departments under the Secretary of State for War (that they might avoid having establishments for the differ ent services, which, with their several branches, were to be placed under the control of the Secretary for War), must not expect that when the arrangements are completed, that they will do away with the necessity of providing establishments for the discharge of the duties of the civil service. The hon. member for Inverness said that we be gan the war without any land transport service—he is mis taken in this—we began without any separate corpe, we now propose to have one specially devoted to the land transport. It was under the commissariat, and great in convenience was found to arise from the combination of two services totally distinct—viz., that of procuring sup plies, and that of transporting to the place required ; but we had a large number of horses and mules at Varna spe cially provided for the land transport. It was not possible to carry them over to the Crimea when the troops went, and circumstances arose that would not admit of their be ing sent afterwards. But the arrangement we are propos ing is not the creation for the first time of means of land transport, threw menus having already existed iu the com missariat department ; it is the transferring thorn to 1, separate establishment, whose single duty it will be to look atter that service and perform it correctly, and we think that great advantage will arise from such a concentration of the transport service in one particular department. An hon. gentleman also observed upon the calamity which be fell a great number of the horses, who died for want of forage, and he ascribed it to great neglect on the part of those whose duty it was to provide for them ; but the honourable gentleman, perhaps, is not aware that in the unfortunate hurricane in which the Prince was lost there was lost twenty days' forage for the animals belonging to the camp. In the transports wrecked in that storm was lost forage that would have supplied the animals in the camp for 20 days—(hear, hear)—and, of course, it was very difficult for a long time to replace it. Then came the bad ness and impracticability of the road, and there was great difficulty in bringing anything from the harbour up to the camp, which led to the consequence that, while their were abundant supplies of various kinds at that port, those in the camp for whom they were intended were left in a state of great suffering for.the want of them. The hon. mem ber for Inverness asked a question as to what progress we had made in raising a foreign corps. He stated with great force that we urged in the early. part of the session the great necessity of passing a bill to enable us to raise foreign troops, and that I especially entreated the house to consent to that bill in order that we might without loss of time enlist foreign troops to go to the assistance of our own troops in the Crimea. It is perfectly true that hitherto we have not succeeded in acting upon that bill, and why? (Hear.) I must tell the house the truth, however unplea sant it may to some to hear it; but the reason why we have not succeeded has been the language—(cheers)—l am forced to say it—has been the language which was used in debates in this and the ether House of Parliament, and which created such a feeling of resentment and indigna tion throughout the continent of Europe that those per sons who had before been prepared to take letters of ser vice to raise troops in Germany threw them up, and said that under the circumstances they were unable to raise a man. (Cheers.) The condition, also, which was imposed on the Government of not giving half-pay to the officers likewise tended to impede the execution of the plan. I undertake to say that if Parliament had not put in aclauec prohibiting the granting of half-pay to the officers, and if language of so insulting a kind had not been held with re gard to what were called " mercenary troops, Germans, Belgians, Heaven knows who"—(bear, hear)—thus raising the national feeling of the continent against us, by this time we should have had a very different story to tell. (Hear. hear.) This has not altered the feeling of the con tinent with regard to the cause in which we are engaged, they still say that England is right and wish us success, but, after the language held with regard to these nationali ties, they declare that they cannot takesservice under the Government. I should not have made this statement, which might be considered as a reproach to gentlemen in the two Houses of Parliament, but when I am asked for a reason I am forced to give it. •(Hear.) Then, my hon. friend the member for Devonport asked a very rational question. He said, commissions are given to non-commis sioned officers, and those commissions involve considerable expense, and he asked whether any provision had been made to enable the gallant men on whom those rewards were conferred to defray the expenses attendant upon them. My hon. friend has not studied these estimates, certainly large in bulk ; but, if he will look to page 4, he will find that a sum of 5,0001. is proposed to be voted especially as a gratuity to these deserving men to enable them to meet the first expenses of their commissions. (Hear, hear.) And, in deed, as a proof that we are not unmindful of the services of non-commissioned officers—even those to whom com missions cannot be given —it will be seen that there is a long list of non-commissioned officers to whom good service gratuities for life are to be given, amounting to 2,0001. or more, in the same part which contains the list of pensions to officers. The hon. gentleman opposite told us that that happens which I can easily believe—namely, that soldiers sent to the hospitals are frequently, by the loss of their knapsacks, rendered destitute of knives and forks, and those things which are really very essential to their com fort, and ho added that difficulty has sometimes arisen in providing them at the hospitals. That evil was under stood, and orders were given to purchase a vary large num ber of knives and forks at Marseilles specially for the ser vice of Scutari hospital, in order to furnish them to sol diers who might come unprovided with those necessary ar ticles for their daily use. The hon. member for Aylesbury certainly made some very proper remarks. He stated that it was essential that a new supply of tents should be pro vided for the use of the army in the ensuing campaign. I can assure him that that shall be duly attended to, and I trust the tents will be of a sufficiently substantial descrip tion. They will not be old tents ; they will be new tent., perfectly fit for the service for which they are destined. It is quite true that the French have been provided with a tent much more portable than that of the English, but, although it is far more portable, i's is by no means so well adapted to pretest the men from the inclemer cy of the weather ; it is a most convenient tent for light service ; it is only about three or four feet from the ground, it barely affords shelter at the sides, and is easily carried and put up; but the French officers felt so strongly the infer ieri:y of their tent as compared with that of our troops, that the F tei : an e tt n i c oe h unir G asn e w n sa i s r e a ao l sent to France for tents upon our model, considering that, in the weather to which the French troops were exposed, their tent was an insufficient shelter, and fmaradbeettaeryperroytegeotolodn suggestion, g t g h e e s t m i o e n n . hon. f T ar ho bet than that which was made afterwards, with ' regard to t e r t o a b i t n a e i d n a w n : P l it t: be°f light t c , avalry. .It is perfectly true as he sug g',Bted, that iza ii l , lz n obability light cavalry might bo ob iirtrehreneee,tethr in and I am quite sure if it could, it to point bringof economy nf from India, a , as th e expenditure ttrap ,cr sport from that country would be tedious and expensive, Government at home if we deprivedhin of those able officers upon whose ability and services he counts in the event of circumstances arising which might require that India should be defended as well as the Crimea invaded. It is unnecessary for me to point out to you that many cir circumstances might arise in which it-would be necessary that the Governor-General of India should have ample means to protect our territories in that quarter of the globe. The hon. member for East Surrey wishes to know what better machinery we have established for providing and sending out clothing and other things for the troops in the Crimea. That is exactly ono of the arrangements which her Majesty's Government have felt it their imperative duty to give their earnest attention to. We know the great im portance of seeing not only that things aro sent, because abundance of things have been sent from this country, but also of making arrangements in which the things sent from this country shall reach the men and the horses for which they were intended. The defect has not been the want of things sent flout this country, for forage, ammunition, horses, everything that could be required has been de spatched from this country ; and, whatever may now be thouelit upon the subject, I venture to say that when the matter comes to be looked into, it will be found that there never was sent from England so large a force in so short a time, so fully equipped, 50 well provided with everything necessary for the comfort of the officers and men, and for the service for which they were destined, as the army which was sent to the East in the course of the past year. The deficiencies arose from the want of arrangements for conveying to the men and to the horses the things that were sent for them. And I must say that there were great truth and great force in the observations which fell from the hon. member for NortlaWarwickehire (Mr.Newdegate) in answer to the attack which have been made upon the aristocracy, along with whom I suppose we must include the gentry of this country ; for I believe the term " aris tocracy" includes the two. In reply to the charges that our army hid not been so successful as it ought to have been, in consequence of the great number of gentlemen who are officeis in it, I think the hon. member made the most triumphant answer, by showing that where your system has broken down—that where evil has arisen from the want of capacity, of energy, of intelligence, or of the accurate and zealous performance of duty—it was not that the gentry, not that the aristocracy, lot that the noblemen in the army were in fault; but persons belonging to other classes of the community. It is in the medical department, the commissariat department, and the trans port. department, which nobody contends are filled with .the sons of the aristocracy or the gentry. It is there that your system has broken down—it is there that the service has failed ; and this it is that has been the main cause of the suffering of which we are all complaining. (Hear.) Now, the hon. member for North Warwickshire also ex pressed his hope that the new clothing for the army would be provided in time to be of use for the ensuing campaign. I can assure the hon. gentleman and this House that no efforts shall be omitted to secure the promptest despatch of that clothing ; and I entertain not the slightest doubt that it will arrive of the proper quality and in due time. I believe that I have now touched upon most of the re marks which have been made during the discussion. No body disputes the importance of having a large and effec tive army. I don't apprehend that any hon. member objects to the amount of force that we propose, or to the extent of the other means required to make that force effective. I trust that between this and the openingof the next campaign the Government will be able to organise a sufficient army of reserve to give it the power of putting into the field a force sufficient to cope with whatever diffi culties it may have to contend. And lam perfectly satis fied, if that army shall be called upon to vindicate the honour of England, and maintain its interests by the con tinuance of the war, that the country will find that the duty required of it will be well performed—that the ex perience of. the last few months will have enabled us to correct those faults and errors which have unfortunately been committed, and that by the various instrumentalities which the Government are setting to work to reorganise and rearrange tha different departments of the service, we shall be able to send into the field an army of which the country will be proud, and whose achievements will, I trust, deserve the thaaks and acknowledgments of Parlia ment. Colonel SIBTHORP said that when he heard from the noble lord at the head of the Government that a noble lord who bad been sufficiently condemned and convicted by the country was to be sent to Vienna to patch up a sort of peace, he could not help expressing a fear that that peace would not be creditable or honourable to the country. He was very glad that that noble lord had retired, and he hope 1 to God he never would come forth again. (A laugh.) The noble lord the member for Tiverton had seemed to threaten hon, members behind him with a dissolution of Parliament. Well, he (Colonel Sibthorp) did not care if there were. - Old birds were not to be caught with chaff—(a laugh)—and that threat would not induce him to vote with the noble lord. The former Government had not done their duty, and although he hoped that the present Government would do theirs, he could not help entertain ing some apprehensions, seeing that it was composed of nearly the same members as the late Administration. After a few words from Mr. PIGOTT, Mr. BARROW wished to know whether steps had been taken to provide the 10th Hussars, now on their way from India, with clothing suitable to the climate of the Crimea, and also with tents for themselves and their horses ? Mr. PEEL said- the regiment in question was not pro ceeding directly to the Crimea, but would remain in India until the winter was past. Mr. J. BALL denied that the hon. member for Ayles bury (Mr. Layard) had imputed to any one class or rank of the army an inferior desire to perform their duty. - What he did say, and what the country believed, was that the public affairs would not be properly administered until steps were taken to put in responsible and arduous positions men of ability and energy, in whatever rank they inight be found. He regretted, however, to see that the Government had shown no disposition to recognise this necessity, and had taken no bettor steps to remedy the proved deficiency of ability in many departments of the army in the Crimea than by sending out commissioners. For instance, the cor respondence with respect to the supply of roasted coffee to the troops which had been laid on the table of the house, had quite sufficiently shown the deficiencies of Commissary General Filler, upon whom the wu'l-being of the army in great measure depended, and yet it did not appear that any steps had been taken for his removal. He particularly ob jected to the conducting of business by moans of private correspondence, which throw difficulties in the way of the obtaining information by Parliament. Colonel KNOX suggested, upon the best authority, that it would be inconvenient to enlist men for varying periods. Ho should at the proper time put a question, which he had previously put without obtaining an answer, upon the subject of money transmitted by soldiers in the East to their families. Mr. J. WILSON explained that when the coffee was first sent out it was net sent as rations, but as special com fort. As soon as practicable after it was ordered tethe . issued as a ration, it was issued ready roasted. During the Kafir war coffee wus issued to tho men in a green state, because iu that state it was found to keep better than it roasted. It was also the practice of the French to send the coffee to the Crimea unroasted. The private letters to which the hon, member (Mr. Ball) had referred were supplementary to, and not instead of, public documents. Colonel NORTH complained that areturn he had moved for on the subject of the coffee had not been made exactly as required. The reply to Mr. Collier's offer to supply roasted coffee, sent by Sir Charles Trevolyan, was, in his opinion, couched in Insolent and disrespectful terms. He should like to know the reasons which induced the Go vernment to decline Mr. Collier's offer to assist in grinding the coffee for our soldiers in the Crimea. If the French had a complete apparatus, as he had boon informed they had, for grindiug and roasting their coffee in the camp, he would ask why it was that the English army had not the same facilities? (Hear.) It was perfectly disgraceful that we were not placed on a similar footing with the French in this respect. Colonel BOLDER() bore additional testimony to the bad state both of the coffee and the porter in the English camp, from the communications he had received from the Crimea. Mr. WILSON contended that Sir Charles Trevelyan was perfectly justified, under tho circumstances, in declining Mr. Collier's offer to assist in grinding the coffee, he having, at that time, every reason to believe that there was no necessity for such assistance. Some further conversation ensued on the subject of the unroasted coffee, in which Mr. Walpole, Mr. Wilson, and Colonel North took part, and the vote was agreed to. The next vote of 7,353,8011., for defraying the charge of of her Majesty's land forces, was then agreed to without discussion. TH SUN i LoNDON s TUESDAY EvENU______ , 4l§ j „l.

She will then sail for Liverpool, at which port she has been chartered by the eminent firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Bristol and Liverpool, fir Callao, whence she is to bring home a cargo of guano, earning, it is said, for the voyage, 22,5001. In th e course o the voyage her saihn; quali tiee will be tested, and, should the expectatiene formed of her be rea'ised, she will be at once put on the Austr: - Ban et ition. She regi-fens 3,011 tons, and will carry 54 or 55 hands, The Demerara, it will be rememl ored, was a steamer ; she has been completely restored from the effects of her late mishap, and converted frcm a steamer into a sailing vessel, and is now called the Bri tish Empire. The effect of removing the paddle-boxes ha:, been apparently to increase the length of the ship, but it is is appearance only, the actual dimensions of the British Empire being precisely those of the Demerara. A new and exceedingly elegant figure-head has been fitted to her, beautifully gilt and emblazoned. Her sym metrical build and good oaring qualities promise that she will long continue a specimen of the skill of Bristol shipwrights. --- NEWSP.VER STAMP DUTIES. The house then went into committee on the proposal of the Government with respect to the alteration of the stamp duties on newspapers, and the following resolutions were agreed to : That it is expedient ti repeal the exeraption of newspapers from postage duty, and to charge on newspapers and .printed books and papers transmitted by post rates of postage not exceeding one penny for every four ounces in *eight, and for any fractional part of four ounces. That it is expedient to alter and amend the laws relating to the stamp duties on newspapers, the printing and publishing of newspapers, and registration and giving securities in connection therewith, and the regulation of duties of post age on printed papers.
