This will readily be .een to be the case when I call your attention to the act which has been brought prominently under public !M -ce, that there is in that house 120 sons of peers, and 00 sons-in-law, grandsons, nephews, or other re atives. I don't say that they have no right there :f they possess the attributes of men calculated to -arrying on the business of the country. So long as the constituencies continue to send such men, we shall have hem.

And as a first step towards the attainment of lat object, there must be a thorough awl entire change public opinion as to the character of the relationship •et , ,veen a member of parliament and his constituency. long as he is compelled to go cap in hand to the voter and ask for his vote, it will no longer be amazing .o hear persons say that they did not give their vote, because it was not worth while if it was not worth asking for. (Cheer.) It is this indifference on the part of the people which really justifies, at least tho roughly accounts for, the state of things to which I ap peal. My concluding remarks are, let us, as citizens of London, take care of that at the next election, (Vo dferous cries of hear, hear, and cheering,) lam quite aware that I am treading upon tender ground. (Cries f "No, no ; you are on the right vroutid, go on.'') I quite aware that I am speaking indirectly in re erence to a man with regard to whom I must .xpress the highest personal respect. But in •eference to all questions of the day—all questions hay "g reference to that kind of !e2.iilation on which the ate lamented Joseph Hume spoke out so strongly—that rind ot legislation that seeks to promote the largest pos ,ihle happiness of the largest possible number—with re erence to all these cases ot legislation there wa., lot that earnest and distinct utterance of opinion o which I think we have a right. In conclusion, Ido •ntreat you to bear these things in your. mind, and to ke care to do your duty in this particular light when Tou have next the opportunity. (Loud cheers.) I hank you, heartily, for the kind attention you have yen me, and I appeal to you, with all my heart, to .ipport me— (loud cries of "Hear, hear")—in preserving rler today, and let me also beg of yi.o not to allow :mr attention to be diverted from the great object be ,re us, which aims at the formation of an association k'hich I hope will prove of advantage to the country, lid which I hope you will maintain. (Loud cheer,.) :-,fore I sit down I feel very anxious to refer to one Int, which I have hitherto forgotten. It is thi : I want expressinylione4inifignati-n,as an .Eaglislrnao, at the .;ppery of the Prime Minster. (Cheers, and cries of Hurrah.")

After again lacking the !netting fur the aLtention they had gi,ien, ,t) the chairman recirned his seat. Mr. J. J. TRAVERS moved the following. resolution:— " That the disasters to which the country has been sob ,ted in the conduct of the present war are attributable to a inefficient and. practic Illy irresponsib!e Inanagelient of variou4 departments of the State, and urgently demand borough change iu the administrative system." ,ere was little, he said, to be added to Nhat had al iy stated by the chairarin. Tie divstJrs ) which the country hal been suhj,:cted in the mduct of the preient war was atAnbutable to ,he inefficient, impracticable, and irrespon ale ma lagement of the various departnarlits of the State— u.l cheer)—anal he believed the country, from one ad to the other, would agree in the !natured and mild xpression of such a resolution as that he ha I proposed. :'hey did not require to look without for evidence ,f the inefficiency and irreßpongibility of the Govern- , nt, beeauv they had given the ein a ntry evidence of it .-enselves, (Cheers.)

(Cheer.) :oilst Sir Graham and Sir Charles Trevelyan had given ;epee of the impossibility of carryin4 on the Govern •ut in a correct and proper manner, so long as the ose was con4ituted as at present. The people of this untry had no one to blame hut themselves for i s state of things, an in dealing with ques- Ong of this kind, he would entreat his tellow-countr~- ten to dismiss from their minds any feeling of irritation eaisst pers-ns who had been called from circuei- Lances to work a sy , :tem it was impossible to work o.rectiy. The objects and feelings of the gentlenuoi dlio in the first instance convened this meeting, it wa. , ecessary the country shoidd k"ow, and he would en 1€ avour to explain them. It had lately teen asserted eat they were making, an attempt at a revolution, Att. he treated such an ac. ovation with the contemn'. t deserve I (hear, hear, and cheers) and if any can in his senses asserted that the tridesmed and mer ,haets of this cou:rtry, whose debts and property were " sheep on the hill-side," de , ired to su`iver , , the aw and good order of this country, he would tell him vas a madman. (Loed cheers ) No such design • , (isted in L indon. (Hear, hear.) It hal also been L,Berted that they desire 1 to subvert the G ivernment of lie country, but that denied. (Hear, hear.) This ggvein nt was, he believed, too large •aet too general o conile..cend to attack any pa ticu ar Gevernment .r individu (hear, hear) —and he wt-rued it to - e clearly understood that, s ) far as his .oinions went, and those with where he hal been in •eininunication, they had no desire to attack any indi or to honl them responsible for the .lisgr ice arid •vils o f a system. Tri,r , was nothing incur or petty in this eevernent ,f the peo,.le. and he should be asha n-d .1 any body of men in Lond , n who could attack any .rentleinati, as he was grieved to fin I the House of C no g-ins ha 1 attacked one man. (Hear, and cheers.) If icy believed the evils of which they compained e(iste'l holly and solely with one particu'ar class or govero rent, they wontl be almost content to sacrifice ease or government ; bat it was nit so—the fault as, as the cha,irinao had stated, with the constituencies -,heinselves—(sneer:.)—and in proof of that he liovd :eon to place such facts before them that it was so, for e every constituency in the country there was a number , f men on the registry but unpolled suffi.;ivnt in number ,n , l intelligence if they could be tattle to exercise their Tanchise as would make the present representation of ,he people available for itninediata purpoes. (Cheers.) He believed it was the first duty of the city of London cc arouse the middle classes to a sense of their duties and dangers, and it was with that object that the pre -ient movement was originated. (Hear, hear, hear.) It was for them to say if it should be called on in a proper manner, or things remain as they now were, left in the hands of a few and comparl tively sp=eaking unkneeen individuals. (Cheers.) An .e,vering for himself and other=, they were determined, Ai men of business—as a matter of prudence—and a tnetter of necesity, t, do everythieg in their pow,,r to arouse the cenqtituenciee to a sens oftheir d ty. (Cheers.) In undertaking the onerous charge of put:ing before the public some definite plan of retortn, it wiend be ac assumption on their p art without they [lei with t iem the large misses of the people. (Cheers.) ree) ohj tct of the present meeting was to apperni a coal n:ttee who should con-ider and devise seine rue le of ref inning the evils complained of, and in that he asked them for sup• por, and he was satiefied from what he knew of the -ipirit of the people of the country, they would have an unanimous response to the call. (Cheers.) . Mr. J. B. GA3SIOTT seconded the motion, and Rai.), whatever may have been the busineee-like charaer of their statesmen, they certainly had brought this country int ) a mew state in the estimation of the other nations of Europe, notwithstanding they had been supplied vitth unliMited means for carrying on the war. Tue lion. gentleman then referred to the meeting of Parliament in December, and the introduction of the foreign enlist ment bill, which was oppose]. he theueht, very unfairly by Lord Derby. (Hear.) Ha hal a statement to bring before them which he would not have ventured to do had not the original docanients been in his p esseseion. Nodoubt many of theta had read the e videnua taken before the Parliamentary committee, and sew the question which was put to the Duke of Newcastle, whether there had net been an offer made to the Cr ivernment of a guerilla, force, and his answer that it was the first time he had heard of it. Oil the 28th December the house rose, and on the 3 1 st a gentlema n, wall ku tem to him, made the proposition to the G ivertimetit. In the last week of December, 1351, Mr. C.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- lIIITTEE. The committee re•assetubled yesterday morning at the usual hour. Sir Thomas Hastings .vas again recalled, and, in ex amination by Lord Seymour, produced a number of official documents referred to in his evidence of yester day. Amongst other matters, he stated that the first requisition sent to him fur winter clothing was in July, 1854 ; and was for 150,000 woollen socks, 90,000 flannel drawers, and 50,000 woollen drawers. A supply of Quartermaster-Generals stores were applied for in March. If any deficiency existed in the latter it was the fault of the Quartermaster-General for not ordering a proper quantity. He denied that any of the bedsteads sent out were incomplete or deficient of legs, &c. He did not believe that the boots and shoes were too small, because they were made on lung-established specifics,• tions, and he did not think the size of them could have varied. The boots and shoes hitherto, had been found to answer for size in all climates and under all circum stances. By the Chairman—Considerable difficulty was found in obtaining steamers to convey out the stores, and they were accordingly delayed for some time. The Chairman—According to your account, then, no person was to blame - Sir T. Hastings replied that he had fairly given his opinion that the delay arose from the great difficulty of providing steamers. Lord Seymour said the committee bad been informed by Captain Tallon, who embarked a quantity of tools in his vessel at Constantinople, that he was told to con vey them to Varna, but that neither the Quartermaster- General nor the Commissariat would take them ; and inquired whether that went to show that there was a Quartermaster as well as a Quartermaster-General there Sir T. Hastings replied that thatwas the case. A quan tity of Canada boots and socks were sent out. The committee, by comparing some of the boots at present at the Tower, would find that the boots sent out were adapted for all sizes of feet. By General Peel—Their clothing had been supplied independent of the Ordnance by purchases made under the direction of the Secretary for War and the Secretary at War, the result of which was that they were bidding against themselves in the same market. With respect tai fur caps, they were in treaty with a person to pur chase theni at 10 , 1, each, and, in the interim, the Sec retary for War made an arrangement to purchase them at 6s. Bd. The parties in question heard that the Go vernment ha I raised the price in the market, and they were unable to make the purchases at the original price agreed upon. When witness was required to provide a supply of winter clothing, he was not informed that the army would winter in the Crimea. He was not able to Fay on what department the duty nf providing such aiticles, if they were required, would fall. By Lord Seymour—He bad made an application to provide rifles in November, but it was not carried into effect until February. Lord Seymour reminded the witness that the Duke of Newcastle bad stated that he would have ordered a large quantity of rifles to be obtained from Liege, but that it was contrary to the opinion of the Board of Ordnance. Sir T. Hastings denied that it was against the opinion of the Board of Ordnance, but that it was simply airaiust his own opinion. He objected on the ground that it would tend materially to affect if not destroy the o gun trade trade of this country, and that the gun m akers f a e.

If there should ever be an invasion, as Birming ham was located in the centre of the kingdom, it would furnish arms in any quantity. The Doke of Newcastle listened most attentively to all he said on this subject, and upon his remarking that 20,000 stand of arms would not injure the commerce of Birmingham. He should regret exceedingly that it should appear that h e bad op. posed the obtaining of that numbe r o f muskets, but he wishedtoex q p u l i a t i e n d t e h s a t t ru i y t was hguisnitterapdre,sion th a t suc h a otep would They had not received a single muskete of Bir m i ng h am.

In reply t o Mr, L ayard, he went on to state that " abler WWI ramie from Calope eo 4plfili; hit 15 was not !mewed, A - good deal of business, is connection with the Ordnance, was transacted by the order of Mr. Monsell, the Clark of-the Ordnance. The board was not mace acquainted with the change which was effected in that department, except through the medium of the public journais. He was of ()Onion that tie system in which business had _previotply been done should be continued. The business of the War-Depart ment latterly bad been condlcted in a very indefinite way, but he could not say whether verbally or in writing. _ . The witness proceeded afterwards to state 'that the authority of the board had been used without: that au , thority being expressly • delegated ; and- mentioned one instance in particular, which occurred is connection . - with - the new laboratory at Woolwich, into the details of which he entered at some length. - In examination by Mr. Layard, a qnestbn arose as to the names of two officers whom the witness stated had misconducted themselves at Woolwich a short tires ago, and which he observed had militated against the efficient discharge of the public service. He said the • afficere stood in the relation of principal and assistant, _ and he had wished the Lieutenant-General to inquire into the matter, but that he observed a strong inclina tion to put the thing aside. He, however, entertained a strong feeling upon the point ; for, with such anta gonism between the two officers, it was impossible things could go right ; whilst, if it were passed over without inquiry officially, it might, when it became known, bring discredit and disgrace upon the public service. He accordingly urged inquiry, but was after wards informed that the Minister for War had taken the matter into his own hands. The witness, when asked,whcOn the whereupon declined hpennre th e -ad re-a d miss i on in t sn o m s room onw e on n fs t mention ee a t pr h un e db public, c, names of these officers, the Master-GeneoLmitsn Witness—l „ inquired of Sir Tho ma s Hastings, in wh M os r. e il"hawve hand s were the appo i ntments of the o ffi cers yon I t t e illie hands of th e Li eu t enan t-G enera l and dismiss o ffi cers w e on M du e e s t te t r h - Mr. Layard— uhraas h m W r i . tn L e a se y — arEd_ nt D ire n l r y in e G m en se e l r v a e l s fu ? ll power to h n e such present ca4eisnl During your connection with the board, es have you ev er k now an i nstance i n w hi ch the Mi nister for W ar i nterfered Witness--Never until t he knew the Minist er f or War itertere tance.
