rtirb libitton, SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.) ROYAL ASSENT. The royal assent was given this day to the Army Ser vice Amendment Act. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. MAJOR-GEN. VIVIA.N AND THE TURKISH in the interim, the Treasury were advised that Mr. Kennedy's patent could not be worked until his succes sor had been appointed. Another difficulty arose as to the Act of Parliament under which that gentleman's office was(held, and which empowered the Treasury to allo cate the duties to be performed to the two commissioners but not to allocate the whole of the duties to one of the commissions, and consequently, although Mr. Kennedy had practically ceased to fulfil the duties of his office, yet an allocation of office was obliged to be left to him for the sake of form. Under these circumstances, as his patent was continued, when the proper officer in the Treasury by whom salaries are paid came to Mr. Ken nedy, he paid that gentleman's salary as a matter of course.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he had given notice to the War Minister of his intention to ask soma questions relative to the appointment of Major-General Vivian, late Adjutant-General of the Madras army, to the important post of Commander of the Turkish contingent, and also whether the Go vernment had yet appointed a person to proceed to the Crimea to ascertain the exact state of the army at the present time. (Hear.) He wished to know also whether the Government would have any objection to lay on the table of the house a statement of the war services of Major-General Vivian. It appeared to him (the Earl of Ellenborough) to be a matter of the greatest importance that this gentleman should be qua lified in every particular for the command of the Turkish army. He had asked for this infor mation really because he was unable to obtain it elsewhere. Let it not be supposed that he at all impugned the military character of Major-General Vivian, because he really knew nothing about him. This officer might, for all he knew, be a most gallant and respectable gentleman. He, however, believed that Major-General Vivian had not even obtained the honour of Commander of the Bath, and considering the liberality with which that honour was given to the officers et the Indian army, it struck him that this fact was sufficient to show that this officer had not distinguished himself upon any important occasion. The noble earl then referred to other circumstances, with a view of showing the unfitness of Major-General Vivian for this com mand, and observes that before any of the Indian officers were appointed to command any portion of the forces in the Crimea, a statement should have been made to the Governor-General of India on the subject, and his advice asked in respect to such appointment. Lord PANMURE regretted the course the noble earl had thought it his duty to pursue. He did net mean to question the right of the noble earl to snake such inquiry, but he did question the justice of the noble earl's observations as far as Major-General Vivian was concerned. He (Lord Panmure) could scarcely say that Major-General Vivian was yet ap pointed to the command of the Turkish contingent, inas much as he was still in concert with that gallant officer upon the subject referred to. He had no hesitation in stating that a more gallant officer to take command of the Turks could not be found. The testimonials he had read from Major-General Vivian were of the highest possible description, and such as any officer might be proud of. With respect to the appointment of an officer to proceed to the Crimea to ascertain the state of the army, he bad to state that it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to appoint any person to perform that duty, it being the intention of the Government to wait for the report of the gallant gentleman appointed to the command of the staff. Lord VIVIAN was astonished that any noble lord should be found not only to make an attack on, but to canvas the appointment in such a manner as to damage the reputation of a military officer. Such an attack was as unjust as it was cruel. The noble lard then read a letter from General Armstrong, of Madras, the General in command of the Presidency, speaking in the highest terms of the military ability of Major-GeneralVivian. The subject then dropped. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Criminal Justice Bill and Speedy Trial of Offenders Sill passed through committee. (LEFT BITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. Auras; the newly-elected member for Cardigan, took the oaths and his seat. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a second time and ordered to be committee :—Connaught Mining Com pany, Westminster Improvements, Westminster Land Company, and Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY BILL. On the motioa that this bill be now read a second time, Viscount EVELYN moved that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. WISE seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM also briefly spoke against the hill. After a short discussion the house divided, when the numbers were— Ayes Noes 65 130 Majority The bill was thereupon ordered to be read a second time this day six months. PETITIONS. Sir J. DUKE presented a petition from several printers in the city of London in favour of the repeal of the newspaper stamp. THE CONDITION OF OUR ARMY IN THE CRIMEA. Sir - E. B. LYTTON presented a petition from the in habitants of Saddlewortb, Yorkshire, praying for a searching inquiry into the causes of the calamities suf fered by our army in the Crimea. CLOSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES ON SUNDAY. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from a place in Yorkshire in favour of the closing of public-houses during the whole of Sunday. NEW' WRIT. Mr. HAYTER moved that the clerk of the Crown be instructed to issue a writ for the election of a Commoner to serve in the present Parliament for the borough of Northampton, in the room of the Right Hon. Mr. Vernon Smith, who has accepted the office of President of the Board of Control. THE BERNAL COLLECTION. Viscount EI3RINGTON presented a petition from the Council of the Society of Arts, praying that steps may be taken to secure the benefit of the Bernal Collection for the nation, and moved that it be printed with the votes. THE NATIONAL GALLERY, &c. Sir J. WA LMSLEY also moved that a petition be presented to her Majesty in favour of the opening of the National Gallery and British Museum after divine ser vice on Sundays. THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. In reply to Mr. MIDFIELD, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that it was the intention of the Government during the present session to introduce a bill to abolish Ecclesiastical Courts, or to transfer the testamentary jurisdiction thereof to any other court, and to make one probate of will or grant of administration of sufficient binding authority over the entire property of any deceased person in all parts of the United Kingdom, the colonies, or elsewhere within the dominions of the Crown. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL also added, in reply to Mr. COWAN, that care would be taken that confirmation granted in Scotland should have equal validity and au thority with one probate or letters of administration over the entire property of a deceased person in what ever part of her Majesty's dominions it may be situated. WINTER CLOTHING TO OUR TROOPS. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the Secretary at War if it was true that no winter clothing had been sup plied to the 46th and 63d Regiments in the Crimea ; that, in consequence of that neglect, these regiments had been almost destroyed ; and whether any one bad p,en dismissed or cei cued for that neglect ? Mr. F. PEEL said that he believed the winter cloth ing supplied to these regiments had been lest in the Prince, but that inquiry was now being made into the matter. REPORT OF TILE MATNOOTH COMMIS SIONERS. In reply to a question from Mr. SPOONER, as to whe ther a copy of the evidence taken by the Commissioners had been supplied to Dr. Cullen, Lord PALMERSTON said that before the report was drawn up a question arose as to the selection of certain questions regarding ecclesiastical discipline as connected with Maynooth. One of the commissioners and the secretary were desirous of baying the opinion of Dr. Cullen, as one of the trustees of the college, on these questions ; but D r . C u ll en re plied th a t b e cou ld not answer t h e question unless he was fa mished with the evidence on which th ese ques nicated n o se' accordingly that evidence w as contain probably the' Dr. Cullen, however, misunderstanding hands and tu torpose for which it was placed in his took it to Rome, particsilar discretion conided in him, pa , re a t n ito d hne vi o i f th ou t the knowledge of the com mission had a it translated into Italian. So far, therefore, Commissioners were concerned they were not to blame, exc e pt, was concerned, in placing the evidence iso far as their prudence in the hands of Dr. Cullen. THE " KENNED7d;e. kelley brin D (previously to Sir J. Mr. BLAN (11 his motion on this subject) wished to ask the s' tary of the Treasur y , whether, notw ' 1 t Treasury Minute of the 10th of May 44taucling ecre the ast, w h erein the First Lord of the Treasur y a n d Chancellor of the Exche quer are stated to have considered the office theretofore held by Mr. Kennedy vacant, and irtwitListand..smissedingMr. Kennedy's own letter , mentioning dis missed from as r fromsuch office as from May l a st, he, M. Kennedy, Jiad continued to draw the salary in respect of such office; and, if so, up to what time, and for what serv i ces. Mr. WILSON, in reply, stated, that alter making in quiry into thi s ma tt er , h e had found that at the time when the minute in question wss passed declaring the office held by Mr. Ken ne dy vacan t, a ft er that gentleman's letter in which he stated his belief that he had been dismissed it became a question with the Treasury as to what was to be done under the circumstances. At that time a motion was before the house at the instance of his hon. friend the member for West Surrey, for a committee of inquiry into this subject, and the Government did not feel by any means justified in filling up the vacancy in the face of that motion. Other circum stances had since happened which prevented the situa tion from being filled up. On inquiry as to the course do be pursued let the fulfilment of the duties of the office CASE OF MR. KENNEDY. Sir. J. SHELLEY rose to move fur a select com mittee to inquire into and consider the grounds and jus tification of the removal of the Right Hon. Thomas Kennedy from the office of Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown. He should treat this case as if there had been no answer to a re cent question on this subject. He complained that Mr. Kennedy had been improperly dismissed from his office, and reflections thereby cast upon his character and reputation. He might state, however, in passing, that the position in which Mr. Kennedy had recently stood reflected no credit upon the Exchequer, for it appeared that he had been allowed to receive a large salary to superintend a manor that produced no more than 4/. a-year to the country. Early last session a committee sat upon the Woods and Forests, but that committee did not go into the case of Mr. Kennedy, and there was no chance of doing justice to Mr. Kennedy unless his case was especially inquired into. Mr. Kennedy had been dismissed not from maladministration or incompetency, but because his action in office was too independent for certain members of the Government. At his dismissal the office was offered to Ce]. Romilly, the brother-in-law of Mr. Kennedy, but, of course, that gentleman very properly rejected it, and nothing was heard of the matter until just before Christmas, when it was reported that Lord Courtney had been removed from the Poor Law Board to this office in the Woods and Forests. He put a question to the Government relative to that report, and received an evasive answer from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whom he dis tinctly informed that he had taken up the case upon public grounds, knowing very little per sonally of Mr. Kennedy himself, and the right hen. gentleman told him that the Government would have some difficulty in filling up the vacancy if he proceeded with his motion. Mr. GLADSTONE said he bad no recollection what ever of the circumstance. Sir J. V. SHELLEY said he was prepared to swear to it. (A. laugh.) The immediate objection to Mr. Kennedy was, that he promised a straightforward course in the management of the National Forests, and pre ferred that which was most conducive to the public good to bending to the wish of the Minister. (Hear, hear.) The whole of this subject was considered of so ranch importance, that it was mentioned in connection with her Majesty's Speech on the Bth of August, and the Board of Woods and Forests was con sequently reconstructed ; and the whole of the Woods and Forests, with the exception of Windsor, was placed under Mr. Kennedy's care. He felt the difficulties he had to contend with, but he felt that he bad only one honest, straightforward course to pursue. But in the evidence before the committee Mr. Kennedy complained that a difficulty met him at once—that amongst the whole of the clerks there was no one who was ac- Tiainted with rural affairs. Now, he felt that before he could go further it was necessary to make some alte ration in this respect. He then proceeded to make a personal inspection of Chobwall Wood, Durham, which had been reported to be in a much neglected condition. He found matters were such that he was disposed to be of a different opinion, but he at once deemed it neces sary to have some support to this opinion, and he accor dingly appealed to a Mr. Brown, a gentleman well known in connection with different agricultural associa tions, but that gentleman, although holding so high a position, had been termed a common Scotch gardener.

(Before the Recorder.) Robert Leaman, 23, labourer, was indicted for stealing 1 dozen pairs of braces, the property of the London and North-Western Railway Company. It appeared that prisoner had been carman to Messrs. Boxendale, the railway carriers, and in August last he had in his care as a carman, a parcel of hosiery which had been sent from Leicester, by Messrs. Staines. From this parcel of hosiery some braces were stolen, and nothing more was seen of them until the prisoner's conduct gave rise to his being taken into custody. The jury acquitted the prisoner. The constable in the case said that be found 40 lbs. of tea in the prisoner's lodgings, and wished to know what he was to do with it. The Recorder said he could not make any order.

TATTERSAf'S.-MONDAY. It was hoped that the rapid and general thaw would give a new aspect of interest to the race meetings adver tised to take place this week, and that fresh spirit would consequently be infused into speculation. The chances in favour of the Liverpool meeting being held on Fri day next apparently amounted to a certainty ; in the course of the morning, however, numerous bets—not a few of which were doubtless made " from signal or in dication"—were most industriously laid against it. In the early part of the afternoon the fact that a further postponement had been deemed necessary was announced at Tattersall's, which we were enabled to announce to the public in the whole of the impression of The Sun of yesterday. The " Official Letter," addressed by the clerk of the course to our reporter, was as follows : " Liverpool, Sunday, Feb. 26, 1855, 7 P.M. Dear Sir—Lord Sefton has further postponed the Liverpool Spring Meeting. until Wednesday, the 7th of March.—Yours truly, E. W. TOPHAM." By this arrangement all bets made up to the above date as to the result of the race are void, and all bets made after the above date as to the meeting taking place within the current week must also be void, f,r in all bets there must be a possibility for both parties to win when the bet is made, or, in other words, "you cannot win when you cannot loss." With the new fix ture betting on the events begins anew. The day — now fixed upon for holding the Liverpool Meeting will clash most injuriously with the opening day of the Nottingham Meeting, more than one-half of the number of horses having engagements at each place. The clerk of the course at Liverpool will, therefore, best consult the interests of this meeting by altering, if possible, the appointment, to either Monday, the sth, or Friday, the 9th. The principal transactions to-day were with regard to Rambling Katie for the City and Suburban, the Yore for the Great Northern Handicap, and St. Hubert for the Two Thousand and Derby. Each was strongly sup ported, and at the close had an advancing tendency. It will be seen from the subjoined list of quotations that, for both the Two Thousand and the Derby, Lord of the Isles experienced a decline ; at one time as much as 6 to 1 was laid against him for the former event, and just before the close of business 13 to 1 was betted to ZOO/. against him for the lett , r. Wild Dayrell was in good demand, and Rambling Katie was backed fur up. wards of 1501., at 50 to 1. 400 to 100 was taken about Scott's "lot." CLOSIXG PRICHX.
