HOGG then gave notice that when the Presi dent of the Board of Control made his financial state ment, if not before, he should call the attention of the house to the claims of tha Indian Government. ARMY AND NAVY MEDICAL DEPART MENTS. Colonel BOLDERO, in moving for a select committee to inquire into the state of the medical departments of the army and navy, recapitulated a portion of the evidence already given before the Sebastopol Com mittee on this subject. He complained that men unfit for active service were sent out from this country to be placed at the head of most important branches of the public service, and the consequences had been most disastrous. He maintained that Dr. A. Smith, the head of the medical department in England, had urged various improvements in the medical arrange ments when war became imminent, but his sug gestions were disregarded ; and he thought the blame rested not with Dr. A. Smith, but upon other shoulders. With regard to the navy he considered the system of promotions was very bad, and such as was calculated to deter young men to enter it until that system was modified. Sir J. TROLLOPE seconded the motion. He hoped they would not be told by the Government that the committee now sitting to inquire into the state of the Army before Sebastopol would be sufficient. A committee to inquire into the general management of the war was a very different thing from the direc tion of the medical department. He (Sir J. Trol lops) had a letter in his hand from Dr. John Davy, brother of the illustrious Sir Humphry Davy, a gentleman well acquainted with the climate and habits of the East. That letter was addressed in March last to the right hon. gentleman the member for Wiltshire, offering his services for the East, but no notice whatever was taken of his letter, nor any an swer sent. After the Duke of Newcastle succeeded to the War Department, Dr. Davy renewed his offer of his services, and the only answer he got to that was a letter from Dr. A. Smith, stating that he did not feel himself perfectly justified in recommending that he (Dr. Davy) should be placed upon full pay. Now, Dr. Davy did not want this ; he was a gentleman of independent means, residing in a happy retirement amid the lakes of Cumberland ; he offered his services gra tuitously, and that was the way he was treated. (Hear, hear.) He believed if we had had medical officers of experience as regarded camp diseases we never should have taken the barrack at Scutari. H e wished to see our system assimilated to the French, who were not tied down by routine, but who selected and promoted men for their genius and abilities. (Hear.) Mr. PEEL said he saw no reason whatever why the medical service of the army should not have prizes suffi cient to induce gentlemen to enter that service, and that they were fully entitled to be treated with every consideration by the Government. As far as the service was said to be tied down by routine, that had in a great measu re given way under actual service. But there were reasons why such r committee as that now asked for would be impolitic and was uncalled for, for the Sebas topol committee was at the present moment Inquiring into that very subject,.t and one - half of the blue - book a l re ady published by 1 wa s taken up with the state of eu r medical services. The Government were taking steps to re-organicie and reconstitute that very service ; and, with regard t o the contrast drawn between our medical department of the armydandbetehnatseenftthbeyForuerneGh oavremrynl a commission had already meat to Paris to inquire inttobetirhe report, an sy d s , tem no ; that committee had made doubt, much useful information would be d n e o rivefroin tout report.

The real questiOneatal:gees' whether _whether our public service was conducteleduien cient and proper manner, so as to carry out the which were intended, and to promot e th e safety and dependence of this great country. The hon. gentleman the Under Secretary for the War Department had stndi "abr avoided alluding to the medical department of th e navy. Now, it was notorious that this department was roost imperfectly officered, and that the nation, suffered in proportion. There was nothing that could injure the public service so much as a report going abroad that the health and the lives of our brave soldiers or sailors were not cared nor provided for by the authorities that presided over the respective services. The authorities of the Admiralf y were at this mo ment compelled to employ more tha n one hundred un qualified young men to act as 6 urgeon 4 to one of the greatest beta that ever left the shores of England. He believed that many of those young men were wholly unable to tie an artery, and would not be allowed to perform an opera tion in any of our workhouses. This fact was a crying shame, and the Government were most culpable in mak ing such appointments. Unless they changed their whole system they would not be able to get proper men to enter the service, because it was felt that if they did so they would become degraded in their social position. Under such circumstances he shuddered at the idea of a serious engagement taking place. He had the honour of presiding over one of the most important meetings, in a medical sense, lately held. There were more than 4,000 medical students present, and there %ere deputations from every school of surgeons and medical college in the United King dom. Those young men all came forward and pledged themselves never to enter the service of the navy as long as those degrading regulations existed. When the ar►ny estimates were brought forward in 1853, the hoe. and gallant colonel who made the present proposition stated his apprehensions upon this subject in the event of war, and he said that the Aimiralty had deteriorated the article, and had taken medical officers of an inferior de- scription into the service, who acted solely under a warrant similar to that of a boatswain. The right hon. baronet the member for Carlisle (Sir J. Graham), in reply, said that at that moment there was no deficiency in that branch of the service—that the Government had no complaint to make of a want of a sufficient number of surgeons in the navy, and he added that if he had the slightest apprehension that the crews of her Majesty's ship's would be exposed to the treatment of ignorant practitioners, there was no sacrifice which he would not be willi.ig to make in order to remedy so great an evil Now, after such a declaration from the right hon. hart , be (Hr. Brady) was stn.., if he were present, that he would support the proposition before the house. He would ask the gallant admiral (Admiral Berkeley) on the Treasury bench whether he was now ready to remedy the evil of which they complained t He (Mr. Brady) charged the hon. and gallant admiral with being the great cause of the pre , ent wretched state of the medical department of the navy, by removing all inducement to good medical officers to remain in the service. He hoped, however, that this evil would soon be remedied, and that the navy would be ouce more great and glorious as it should be. Admiral BERKELEY would not have risen but for the unwarrantable personal attack that had been made upon him by the hon. member. The hon. gentleman had stated things of him which be (Admiral Berkeley) hal no hesitation in saying were totally foreign to his nature. As. regarded the qualification of surgeons in the navy, a higher qualification was demanded in the navy than in the army, except in the case of the as sistant surgeons, whose qualifications were required to be at least equal. The honourable gentleman said that the navy was obliged to employ dressers, because they could not get assistant surgeons. That was not the fact. If the hon. gentleman looked to Sebastopol he would find the health of the seamen better attended to than that of any others in the service. There were only 12 sick out of 1,000 that had landed in the naval brigade, as was stated the other night in the house. During the last year alone 49 assistant surgeons had entered the navy. The ships in the Baltic had not, in fact, a single vacancy for an assistant-surgeon at this moment, neither bad those in the Black Sea ; and there was, in fact, now one-third more medical assistants in each ship in the navy than there was in the last war. Colonel NORTH said it was impossible to give the medical officers too great praise for their attention to their duties ; but as regarded the committee up stairs he did not see how they could investigate the subject fully with all the other claims on their time. The enormous and most unfair amount called hospital deductions from the private soldier, for in stance, were so onerous that a soldier long sick could not possibly come out of hospital otherwise than in debt. He (Colonel North) also agreed that the amount of correspondence imposed upon medical officers was too great. He did not think the officers were any batter treated. In the West Indies some years since ensigns on ss. 3d. a day had to pay for leeches them selves, when in yellow fever, when leeches were very dear. He did not consider the removable position of the medical officer a satisfactory one. He would vote for the motion, because he thought every regiment should have a regular and complete medical establishment, tho roughly trained in all its parts, from the hospital sur geons upward. He thought a system of providing linen and other similar conveniences for the military hospitals should be adopted the same as in the naval hospitals. And he finally called the attention of the Government to the serious condition of officers returned invalided from the Crimea ; and suggested that as they had no allowance, an hospital should be established for their use, or hones should be hired for the same purpose. IL would vote for the motion because he thought the corn mittee up stairs could not investigate all these points, or inquire into the whole question. Mr. E. ELLICE could cohfirm a great part of what had fallen from the gallant officer ; but he was at a to to advise the house what course to take in the matter EL- a. , :. , reed that nothing could be worse than the medical !epartment of the army, and the committee up stairs were doing all they could to obtain information w•th the view to its amendment. It would be, therefore, a question whether two committees were necessary under the circiun stances. The medical condition of the navy, he was bound to say, presented a very strong contrast to that of the army, and the condition of the sailors in the hospital ships was satisfactory as compared with that of the soldiers at Scutari. He was afraid, however, it would be found to resolve itself into a question of expense. The salary of the chief medical officer in the service was reduced to 1,2001. a year which was muoh less than he might have obtained by his private practice. Again, the medical superintendent at Scutari, who had the charge of 5,000 patients, only got 255. per day. But be had to receive the patients and to class them—to make a variety of re ports—to perform some of the most difficult surgical ope rations, and to attend at every board held f or th e pur pose of invaliding soluiers. What was wanting was a military officer possessing full control over the whole ar rangements of the hospital, with powers to deal summa rily with such medical officers as did not fully perform their duty. In all the colonies the commanding officer of the garrison was the supreme authority in respect to the military hospitals ; such was what was wanting in the East. He (Mr. Ellice) was somewhat doubtful if it would be for the advantage of the service that the house should adopt the motion under all the circum stances; or whether it would not be the preferable course to leave the pursuit of the inquiry to the committee now sitting in connection with the subject. He was for in quiry as much as any man, but he thought it would be better, on the whole, not to have two committees sitting on the same inquiry. Mr. MUNTZ could not understand how the Government could oppose the motion now that all Government ac tion was suspected. Neither could he see why two com mittees might not sit ; more especially as one was en gaged in a general inquiry, while the other would only be engaged in a special one. Mr. M. CHAMBERS would vote for the motion, be cause the army was perishing from delay. The commit tee up stairs was investigating the whole conduct of the war ; the motion before the house was for a committee to inquire into the medical departments of the army and navy. The two subjects might be investigated without clashing with one another. The navy was stated to be well off in regard of its medical department ; but as yet there bad been no great war to test its resources in that respect. It would be desirable, therefore, to look to the mischief before it occurred, and to provide the remedy in anticipation of the evil. Already there had been 100 young men sent - out to the Baltic fleet who were not com petent to act as surgeons, having been only in the position of hospital dressers. It was because the subject was large enough for a committee in itself that he should vote for the motion. Sir G. GREY said the Government were not opposed to inquiry ; but his hon. friend had stated the reason why it was inexpedient to agree to the motion. The house would decide if the proposal of the Government were a reasonable proposal or not. The committee up stairs had been appointed not to inquire into the conduct of the war, but into the administration of the various departments of the army, and it had already devoted much time and attention to the medical department. He (Sir G. Grey) consi iered the proposal of the Govern ment as the proper one under the circumstances, and he hoped the novae therefore woutd not agree to the motion. All the Government desired was, that the committee up stairs should have time to report on the subject; end then the house might appoint a second committee it it was deemed necessary. As regarded the statement of the hon. and learned member for Greeuwich, all the young men sent out to the Baltic fleet had gone as medical supernumeraries alone, and not as practising surgeons. Admiral PECHELL could not refuse to give his vote for inquiry. He regretted the tone of asperity used to wards his hon. friend the member for Gloucester, who bad used almost superhuman exertions in his ofice, a fact that would come broadly out on inquiry. Colonel BOLDER() in reply said the whole of the members of Government had spoken strongly in favour of his motion. He could not conceive that it was neces sary to postpone the inquiry until the committee on Sebastopol had terminated its labours. There was no time like the time present for inquiry, . and he trusted therefore the house would agree to his motion. The house divided— For the motion 69 Against it 73 Majority against the motion The numbers were received With cheers.

HEYWORTH said a few words that did net reach the gallery. The bill was brought in and read a first time. EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN. Mr. E. DENISON rose to move for leave to intro duce a bill to provide for the education of the children of poor persons in the receipt of in-door relief. His bill was not so much a new measure as a supplementary measure to other bills which bad already been proposed to the house. He had been urged to persevere with his bill by the introducers of the other bills ; and the object of his bill was to enable education to be given to poor children, but not as a condition of relief to the parents, and not making it compulsory on children to attend any particular kind of school. He should have been glad to introduce a clause to make a portion of the expense fall upon the Consolidated Fund, but on a communication with the Chancellor of the Exchequer he was informed that the state of the public funds prevented such a clause from receiving countenance. He trusted at a more favourable time this part of his plan would receive con sideration. He believed there would be no opposition to the introduction of the bill, and he would conclude by asking leave to introduce it. The bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be printed. LAND AND ASSESSED TAXES DIVISIONS. Mr. FREWEN moved for leave to bring in a hill to facilitate the formation of divisions within and for which meetings of commissioners of land or assessed taxes may be held in that part of the United Kingdom called Great Britain. The bill was read a first time. SUPPLY. On bringing up the report, and on the vote of 100,0001. ter education being broueht forward, Mr. HADFIELD objected to the vote f'r educational purposes. He objected to Government interfering with education at all, because it checked those efforts which were being made by private enterprise. It had been said that vie voluntary system had failed, but he denied this ; the voluntary system had not tailed, it had worked and was working wonders. The compulsory principle— the taxation principle—had failed, and had done the ad mitted mischief. The voluntary system bad produced this result, that one in every eight persons was now re ceiving education, whereas, before this period, the pro portion was only one in eighteen. The education given by the system of Sunday-school training was a strictly religious education, and Government with all its power, and at whatever cost, would fail to equal such a result. He should move that this particular vote be disallowed. Compulsory education would fail as it had failed—and as Government had failed in becoming manufacturers, so they would fail in their educational scheme. Sir G. GREY said an opportunity would be given to every hon. gentleman at a future stage to state his ob jections to any vote that had been arrived at last night. He hoped the hon. gentleman would not persevere in his objections. The vote was then agreed to, and the report was re ceived. The Convention with Sardinia Bill was then read a third time and passed. The house then adjourned at five minutes past eight o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-APRIL 17. MEDICAL DEPARTMENTS.

Alulgraye, Earl of HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK, (From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week that en!ed last Saturday, the deaths of 1,347 persons (715 males and 632 females) were regis tered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number was 1,035, which, if raised by a tenth part for increase of popula tion, becomes 1,138. Hence it appears that a high rate of mortality still prevails, the excess of deaths in the present return over the estimated number being 209. The weekly number of deaths from bronchitis ob serves a remarkable uniformity ; in the last five weeks it has been successively 163. 146, 155, and 153. Pneu monia is less regular in its effect, the cases in which it was fatal in the same weeks having been 135, 96, 113, 98, and 92. There is now a decrease in the mortality of hooping-ceugh. From six zymotic disease, small-pox, measles, scarlatina, hooping-cough, diarrhoea, and typhus, there were altogether 191 deaths last week. Last week, the births of 912 boys and 806 girls, in all 1,718 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54, the average number was 1,411. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.519 in. The highest readings occurred at the beginning and end of the week, when they were respectively 29.94 in. and 29.92 in. The mean temperature of the week was 47.2 deg., which is 2.1 deg. higher than the average of the same week in 38 years. The air became warmer towards the end of the week, and on Saturday the mean tempera ture rose to 50.4 deg. ; and the highest temperature in the week occurred on that day, and was 63 deg. The lowest temperature was 36.2 deg., and occurred on Sun day, on which day snow fell in the north of Scotland. The mean dew-point temperature of the week was 39.9 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 7.3 deg. The wind blew generally from the south-west and west. On Tuesday there was very active positive electricity, with strong galvanic cur rents, and abundance of sparks, and positive electricity was generally shown the rest of the week.

The Britannia, 120, on her return lately to Portsmouth from the Black Sea, landed a fine brass field-piece, a trophy from the memorable field of Alma. This is about being removed from the Gun-wharf, Portsmouth, to Woolwich, far national exhibition. It has already been inspected by some hundreds of military men and civilians. It is a 14-pounder, with carriage, driving limber, bucket, sponge, rammer, worm, scraper, and all appurtenances complete. The top of the bucket also serves as a torn pion for the gun ; the axle-tree bears strong evidence of an attempt to cut it through to prevent the enemy get ting it off the field when its capture became imminent, and the pole was effectually cut away. The gun has an elevating screw, worked by a wincu through the limber, and so simple as to " beat' anything of the kind in the British gunnery working. The ranges of the gun are inscribed on the carriage, which is mad e w ith th e view of mounting a 24-pounder it needed. It has " 1852" marked on it. An enormous quantity of shot, guns, and shell, rifles, pistols, and common arms have been supplied from the Portsea gun wharf for the equipment of the Ba tic fleet. and a very large supply of Colt's revolving pistols has also been provided there for the same service.

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, APRIL 17. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Bahia, inclosing a translation of a notice descriptive of a new lighthouse on the Morro de 6'. Paulo, near that port, copy of which is subjoined. (Copy.) (Translation.) Captain of the Port's Office. In compliance with orders from the Provincial Govern ment is made public, by the Captain of the Port, for the information of navigators, the following description of the lighthouse of the Morro of S. Paulo. which will begin to be lighted on the 31 of next May, as also observations on the port of the said Morro and the adjacent coast comprised between it and this city. Bahia and Captain of the Port's Office, 9th March, 1855. (Signed) DIOGO IGNACIO TAVARES, Commodore, Captain of the Port. OF THE PORT AND LIGHTHOUSE OF THE MORRO DE S. PAULO. The lighthouse of the Morro do S. Paulo is built on the top of a hill or cape of the same name, at the entrance of port, in latitude 13d 21m 40s south, long. Grsv. west 38d 51m 48s. The tower will be painted white, and the balcony has an elevation of 80 English feet above the hill, and 276 above the surface of the sea, and will be seen, by day, in fine weather, at 30 miles' distance. This lighthouse (the best on the coast of Brazil), on Fresnell's principle of refraction and of the first order, has, in the space of a minute, bright light for 15 seconds, followed by an eclipse of 45 seconds. The light. in clear weather, is seen from the quarter deck of a vessel at 20 miles' distance and from the Tops at 28. Whatever may be the distance, it has always a strong and very bright light, and is distin guished from the lighthouse at the bar of Bahia by the time of its eclipses, by the greater brightness of its light, and by its colour, which is always brilliant, whereas that of S. Antonio has three different phases, each followed by an eclipse. At a lesser distance than 12 miles the eclipses are not total, the bright light is followed by a faint one, in place of the eclipses, which become more notable as the distance increases; those who observe perfect eclipses may consider themselves more than twelve miles off. At the point of the compass 46 deg. N.E. true, at a distance of thirty miles is the lighthouse of the bar at Bahia. From the Morro t )wards the north, a bay bordered with rocks is formed, and the western point of the island of Itaparica with the main land forms the bar of Jaguaripe, to which the existing hydrog,raphical charts improperly gave the name of Barra False, the same being a small inlet of the island to the east of that bar, formed by the point of Aratuba and another which is further to the north, which at a distance of snore than 11 miles has a similar configuration to the point of S. Antonio, enpearing like the latter to detach itself from the land which lies to the westward of it. Even in the day time these places ought not to be approached nearer by vessels at a less depth of water than 11 fathoms, if they have no pilot on board. Those which sight from the south the lighthouse of the Morro of S. Paulo, and wish to re . main in sight of Bahia, ought not to pass to the north we.t of the line N E.—S. W. true, of the lighthouse, as long as they are to the south of Itaparica. and for i greater caution ought to sound and veer the ship to the south as soon an they find eleven fathoms in depth, by which they will avoid nearing the shoals and rocks of the point of Caixa, Pregos, Barra Falsa, and others, which on the eastern side encircle that island, which at night are solianch more to he feared when the strong sea winds drive the waters into the bay; besides which, in some places at 10 fathoms, the depth diminishes rapidly. If, on finding a lesser depth than 11 fathoms, it appears the vessel is not to the N.E. of the line N.W.—S. W. of the lighthouses, it must be understood that there is a defect in the com passes, and never hesitate to tack to the South, the sounding being on the northern tack the truest indi cation of danger. At a distance of 13 to 1 4 miles fr om the point of S. Antonio, the lighthouse of the bar of Bahia, begins to be seen a faint light, showing distinctly its different colours at about a distance of 6 miles. The entrances of the port of the Morro is open for vessels of all descriptions, taking notice that at a mile to the west ward of the Fort runs a shoal up the river Una, and whose depth goes gradually diminishing on the side of the shoal, and to which the hill on the eastern side runs lengthened by a ridge of rocks called " Coitas," which run out into the sea for 180 fathoms, more or less, with a depth of 8 fathoms in some places near them. However, against these care must be taken in the night-time by those who are tacking in to fetch the anchor age. By day the breakers on these ridges of rock are yea'v visible. Two miles distant from the shore of the Morro of S. Paulo, and from thence towards the south, with the lighthouse in sight, is an open passage for any kind of ves sel ; and those that wish to enter the port by it can come near the hill by the northern side as far as the depth of the soundings will allow, and the open anchorage begins at the point of the Fort up to a mile inward. A pilot ought ' to be taken by those who wish to ascend the river, where there is a sheltered anchorage for a squadron. Bahia, March 3, 1855. (Signed) HERIIENEGELDO ANTONIO BARBOZ.S. Commander.
