THE NAVAL REVIEW. Lord RAVENSWORTH said that as he saw in their places the noble lord the President of the Council, and many other noble lords who had suffered with himself from the inconveniences and delays which had arisen i the conveyance of their lordships t 4 and from the nava l review on the previous day, he might perhaps be per mitted to call attention to the defects in the arrange ments which had led to those unpleasant circumstances ' and to ask some explanation from the Government. It : was intended th a t h er M a j esty s h ou ld , d ur i ng her pro gress through the magnificent line of ships, be attended by her faith'ul subjects, the Lords spiritual and tem - coral, and the Commons. Nothing could be better in theory than this idea of the Government, The misfortune was that it entirely failed of realisation. Although he did not wish to attack any noble lord who might be consi dered responsible for the failures of the day, he thought they had been mainly if not entirely caused by the want , of proper discrimination on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty, whose duty it was to select'a proper vessel for the conveyance of their lordships. The first thing that occurred after starting at 7 o'clock in the morning was a delay of at least two hours occasioned by the breaking down of two engines. For this he attributed no blame to her Majesty's Government. (A laugh.) After great delay and inconvenience their lordships arrived at Southampton, where there was but one large tender, the Harlequin, f or the conveyan ce o f t h e members of both houses of Par liament. In consequence of this it was at least au hour before they all got on board the tender, and then the crowded state of that vessel occasioned further loss of time in embarking them on the two steamers Transit and Perseverance. At length, between 12 and one o'clock, and after they had been informed by some noble lords who had gone down on the previous night that the most imposing part of the display was over, the salute on the arrival of her Majesty having been fired an hour and a half before, the Transit, which had been appropriated to the conveyance of their lordships, got under way. She had not, however, pro ceeded far before she was passed by the Perseverance, having on board the members of the House of Commons, and the second estate of the realm became the third, in which position it continued during the remainder of the day. (A laugh) In the course of time the Transit, not withstanding the defective engines with which she was supplied, reacbel the pivot ships at the eastermost point of the line, from which position they witnessed that grand and magnificent motion, the advance said wheeling, -- of the lino of ships, the only spectacle which they had to repay them fur the fatigue which they had undergone. This ship, the Transit, had b een supplied with engines which were originally made for our late enemy the Em peror of Russia, and which were so defective in construe tien that on her last voyage to the Mediterranean the whole of her machinery gave way; and had not sine,: been put into proper condition. The result was that in a short tune this immense ship of 2,400 tons burden, became almost like a log upon the water. By orders from high authorities it was forbidden to make any smoke ; without making smoke a fire could not be made sufficient to get up the steam of the Transit, and the result was, that on the return she hardly made any way. Little as was the way she made, it was., uefoitunatety, enough for her to run down a gun-boat, by which col lision both vessels were seriously damaged, and a me rit e received injuries so severe that he (Lord Ravens worth) did not knoW whether they might not be fatal. Although she did this, however, she did not make way enough to enable their lordships to r,Aca the herbour of Southampton until 10 o'clock. At that time the return was effected by means of a very active but very email steamer called the Monkey, owing to the disproportion between which and the Transit, and the consequent crowding of the a fm ern o sao r rsmtoedpa e ae r ab , there was a grea t d ea l o f in convens ience y he e s eerai there railway A c vi d l e r n t , t fti liheffitehedeftalal difficulty Monkey that,arl Ikde l nl i sa e r yos t e he wor nearedwhiv ra) in ailwasysosotantiaosns.he L w a a s d i t e v s h a a r n f d e d g e t n h t e l r e e m w en a! noble lords n l asf ast anda sproisg,liibtler.ev.rpirreslta.teelas,ssalclamrraiadgeefsowr were ee soon s p e r c el n a d t e c a i ands a o n p e r s i v w y e e r e ou i n n o ci r u i t s o i o ti k o n r , e f a u n g d e a o l ne lo r c i c g u h p t i e r d e v , i t n i ea railway third -cl ass carriag e , tation nt th ( r A ee o'clock laugh in laugh,) At At the t u t i h n e rn t i r n a g in :. reached Lon l on , and their lordships were deposited at Thus the termination of this day's pleasure w is, that noble lords and ladies were running about the platform without a carriage or cab to take them home. How many of the ladies reached their residences he could not say. Fortunately he had himself none under his own care. The blame of all these delays and inconveniences rested, in his opinion, with those by whose management an improper vessel of enormous size and without sufficient means of propulsion was appropriated to their lordships. To this fact he attributed all the misadventures of the day, and he thought he had a right to ask from the Government some explanation of the reasons which led to the appropriation of so large and so improper a vessel to this service. Further than this he would at present express no opinion upon the subject except to say, " Sic transit gloria mundi." (A. laugh,) Lord GRANVILLE.—I am afraid I am not the best pers on hich have been in the world to ansby er the very s er i ous charges w mY noble frid, having myself been one of his fellow-sufferers, and h eav ing experienced some disappointm en t at missing a consi derable portion of the magnificent spectac!e of yester day. At the same time lam bound to say that I think my noble friend has exaggerated the blame which can be attached to the Government. He certainly made a very fair exception at the beginning of his speech, when ho exonerated the Government from all blame for the loco motives of the South-Western Railway Company having broken down ; but I think he has been misinformed as to the character of the ship which was appropriated to the conveyance of your lordships. It is a very large and a very fine ship, and I am sure that all the noble lords who were on board it will bear testimony to the great care which had been taken to provide for the com forts of your lordships both as to accommodation and re freshments. No doubt it would have been very m uc h better had there been two small tenders to take your lordships on board, instead of the one large one. When we did stop it was not from any defect in the engine, but because the fires had been let out. As no Lord of the Admiralty bad yet returned to town, I have not yet been able to make any inquiries as to who was really to blame ; but, whatever mismanagement there may have been it is clear that the general Government cannot be made responsible unless it should neglect, after inquiry, to punish the persons who are to blame. Several noble lords on board were kind enough to try to fix the whole responsibility of the affair on me, which, asyour lordships may imagine, did not at all increase my enjoy ment of the day. I was particularly desired by some to go down an d poke the fire, but, with an unusual degree of modesty, I declined to take the command of even a small fraction of the Channel fleet, There is one consolation, however —that the day furnished another proof of the enormous mental and bodily strength of my noble friend the Lord Chief Justice, because, though my noble friend was away from his house for 21 hours, he was abl e to attend in his place in the Court of Queen's Bench this morning, and he has to-night taken part in a discussion relative to the Scotch marriage law. I can only say that I will take care, when the First Lord of the Admiralty returns to town, that all proper inquiries shall be made on the subject, and that if there leas been any negligence the persons to blame shall be punished. The Earl of MALMESBURY—I should not advise my noble friend behind me to move a vote of censure or. her Majesty's Government this time, though it certainkj was a practical joke of the most unpardonable charactei to ha. e been promised so much pleasure, and to have been kept 22 hours - in attempting to attain an objecm which we really •only reached half-way at last. What 1 roae to upon waothe obseive the, modesty—of the nobla! earl Opposite In answering my noble friend' behind, gibing your lorctShips to: believe that he was - present the whole t trial, — that - he saw all our misfortunes and participated in them. From his high position, he was of course looked upon by alt on board' as the captain of the vessel---ineehing, that is, that he would stick by her so long ass heil.itiiberilield together. Far from that, my noble Mena,-with his usual sagacity and acuteness, about. halfliakt.4; seeing how matters went, and how unlikely it mar:that he should see his home tbat night, if he eked i'esith 'Us; deserted the ship—(loud laughter)—an4 having kiwi& very comfort able quarters on the coast of the Isle of Wight, to our great consternation haileda a malt boatamd left us to oar fate. (Renewed laughter.) _That late .has aot been at all exaggerated by the noble lord behind me ; for the rest Of the day we were panted by ship after fillip, by car nage after carri age , and moat of us had to walk home from the Waterloo -station it'belf-past 3.this morning. Lord CA.MP-SELL—I cid --tiestify to the great cour tesy of the noble earl the - President of the Council, so long indeed as he , remains with :us, but be cer tainly did desert us in iv:anoment of difficulty. (Laughter.) As I found it impossible to haslet in the ad ministration of justice- in We on this. great day, I thought it was my duty .to show my respect to her Majesty, and to join those Who were to follow in her wake when making this great progress through her naval forces. I certainly met, in common with all of your lord ships who were there, with great disappointments. I acquit her Majesty's Governmealt of all blame for our late arrival at Southampton, and,, although neither my noble friend nor . the'First Lod of the Admiralty, nor the Government generally, can - -tte held responsible for what followed—for the 'plan tinned out for us was excel lent in itself—yet there certa3oly was gross misconduct somewhere which really giVis one an idea of what hap pened at Balaklava. (Heart;' NothingbappeWed except the breaking down of , the railway engines, which could not have keen=guroi"d- --There,svas gross -mi smanage - In ent in having so small tender to act with such an enormous steamer as the Transit. It might have been easily seen that, under the most favourable circum stances, it would have taken an hour or more to transfer the passengers from one vessel to the other ; and bad there been anything of a swell we never could have all got from one vessel to the other: The Transit at last weighed anchor, but it was necessary for two learned judges who were on board to work at the capstan. (Laughter.) We had three right rev, prelates on board, but I do not know whether they lent a hand or not. One of the Apostles, I believe, was acquainted with na vigation, and I have no doubt under similar circum stances be would have assisted in the operation. We really had great reason to complain of the Transit, which, though a very large vessel, was quite unfit for the ser vice. She had two engines, but one of them was per manently disabled—(hear)—and the other was soon made useless by the fires being let out. It was 11 o'clock before we left Southampton, a!though we ought to have left at six o'clock, and such a scene of confusion I hope I shall never witness again. It certainly reflects very' little credit upon those who ought to have made better provision. Judges, prelates, and ladies of high rank were scrambling together for places in the train—one would have thought it was an excursion train to Manchester. I had the good fortune to get a place, but I was not able to get home before 4 o'clock this morning. Thanks to that strength to which my noble friend has alluded, I was able to attend in my place in the Queen's Bench this morning, and I am happy to say, therefore, that no ill consequences ensued to the administration of justice. The Earl of CARDIGAN wished to know if there was not some subordinate official at the Admiralty who was responsible for having selected a vessel in so unfit a state as the Transit was for the conveyance of their lord ships? It was most discreditable that their lordships should be placed in a vessel which could not make more than 31 or 4 knots an hour. He was informed that that vessel had been ordered to the Crimea to convey a por. tion of the army there home, but he hoped that would not be done until she was put into better condition. ' Earl VANE asked why it was that the two Houses of Parliament bad been sent down to Southampton instead of to Portsmouth ? • • EarI.GRANVILLE said that it was thought desir able that some portion of the persons going to the naval review should embark at Southampton in order to pre vent too great a pressure at Portsmouth. THE DUCHY OF PARMA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE then rose to move for copies of the reports and correspondence of her Ma jesty's diplomatic and consular agents' in Italy relating to the occupation of the territory and the assumption of the executive Government of the duchy of Parma by Au,trian authorities, and for copies of any communica tion thereupon between her Majesty's Government and the Cabinet of Vienna. He said that in asking for these papers it was not his intention to express any opinion him self, and still less to call upon their lordships now to pro nounce any judgment on the events which bad taken place in Italy, because he thougbt it would be premature to ask for an expression of opinion on matters about which they were imperfectly informed. All that he rose tetask for was information, and he hoped that it would be in the power of the Government to give some informa tion on the important facts and events which had oc curred, for he believed them to be of 8..) grave a character that it, was necessary they should be considered not merely by the servants of the Crown, but also by the Parliament of this c iuotry. Their lordships were aware that the state of the Government in the northern part of Italy—in the Duchy of Parma —had been for some time unsatisfactory and 'feeble, as had been shown by the results. Great discontent and political dissatisfaction prevailed among the people ; and, more than that, there had arisen a contempt of law and a general aversion from recognised authority and order of such a character as had led to lamentable consequences and threatened graver result'. It was on these pretences, and in some degree, it might be said, for these reasons, that the Aus trian forces bad occupied the Grand Duchy of Parma. That was a fact which he presumed was notorious, but if the rumours in circulation were c irrect, it was net merely a military occupation which the Austrians had effected over the whole country, but it was, in fact, a seizure of the Government. If the Austrian Govern ment had sent a force, at the call of the reigning family, to save the Duchess Regent from any personal danger, such a step would not have been at variance with a Course of proceeding which had taken place in other countries; but, if the accounts were true, the Austrian Government had practically taken political as well as military posses: ion of Parma. It was stated that the Ministry of Finance and the Post-office were under the authority of the Austrians, and that they occupied such an extent of country as showed that they were there not for the protection of the reigning family, but that their occupation amounted, in point of fact, to a seizure of the whale country. He was nut going now to discuss the character of such an occupa tion, the consequences to which it might lead, or the ef fect it would have on the territorial arrangements of Europe and the balance of power. Nor did he intend to enter upon the state of Italy, both north and south, on wbich these transactions must have a great influence. All he wanted was to have information respecting what had taken place, and respecting the attitude assumed by the Government of this country and by the other great European Powers. If the accounts were true, it did not appear that the Austrians had occupied the Duchy of Parma with the view of suppressing any armed insurrec ittioiLm d that forcfsu their chin forces surrectiownetrhe so d i sposed was dsp n e s u e account; da st ebe but iin preparation for further aggression against other territory, taus excluding the idea that the occupation was for the u e t r ti r n e g b e a l n u e e n n d t h t r o e a t s e o n m i n e g immediate e v d e i r s n o ra rd e e n r i ipnus purpose o r s e e c t o o f o p , t o r r u t b o te t d he p tha e t rs th o e n n o e r b f l a e in e i a ly of the D ri theseer u e c ta h r e7 fe o Pm for Foreign Fe a r r eig a.

It appears that ever since the assassination of the late duke Parma has been in au un settled state, for which I do not believe that the Duchess Regent is to blame. Her Government has been wise and moderate, and I believe she has displayed great forbear ance and good sense ; but the Government is weak in Partha, which has been the resort of persons desirous of Promoting political troubles; and it is said that the agents of secret societies have been particularly active there. The unsettled state of affairs continued to prevail, and the person who conducted the investigation into the assassination of the Duke of Parma, and others employed in the judicial in vestigation of political offences, appeared destined to the same fate. A dangerous spirit having been manifested, and considerable public alarm having been the c onsequence o f t h ese ac t s , th e Duchess Regent declared Parma in a state of siege, and the Austrian general Crenneviile, as senior officer, took the supreme command. But as I gather from my noble friend, he ap . pears to think that Austrian interference took place in consequence of recent events. Such has not been the case. A treaty was agreed to between Modena and the late Duke of Parma in the year 1847 or 1848, by which these sovereigns were entitled to call upon Austria, and Austria was bound to seed a sufficient force to maintain order if public tranquillity were likely to be disturbed. ['his was done in 1849, and there has been since that time an Austrian battalion in Parma or the neighbourhood. General Crenneville, when the state of siege was de clared, Wrote word that he should not require to have another man sent to him. There was, therefore, no special intervention, and no increased number' of forces beyond that which Austria had already in the CLERKS OF THE PEACE. Mr. LASLETT moved for a return from the Clerks of the Peace of the counties of England and Wales, of the names of the places appointed in each county, and divi sion of counties, for taking the poll at elections for knights of the shire, and the number of electors assigned to vote at each of such polling places.—Agreed to. TORTURE 1N INDIA.. Mr. OTWAY gave notice that, on the 25th of May, he should call the attention of the house to the subject of torture in India. MILITARY BRANCHES OF THE ORDNANCE. Captain L. VERNON asked r the Under Secretary for War, whether, now that the military branches of the Ordnance are transferred to the Horse Guards, the General Officers from the Scientific Corps would be em- ployed as General Officers on the Staff, in due propor tion with the General Officers taken from other branches of the service ? Mr. F. PEEL said that no objection would be raised to the employment of the officers mentioned, but they must be limited to 1 in 20. INDIAN LAW COMMISSION. Mr. ATHERTON asked the President Oi * the Board of Contral whether any steps had been taken, or were contemplated, for carrying out the suggestions of the Commissioners appointed under the Act 16 and 17 Victoria, c. 95, s. 28, to consider the xecornmendations and enactments of the Indian Law Commissioners ; whether any measure is to be introduced, and when, for giving legislative sanction to such of those sugges tions as require it ; and, whether it was intended to give further time, beyond the 20th day of August next, to the present or any other Commissioners ' for fraroin a body of subst an ti ve Ci v il L aw for the whole of India, as recommended by the Second Report Mr. V. SMITH said the report bad been sent out to India in order to receive the comments of the . Council. If the comments, arrived in time it was possible he might introduce a bill on the subject. The second part of the hon. gentleman's question depend.A entirely on the first. THE NAVAL REVIEW. Mr. STAFFORD—Sir, in rising to move that this house de now adjourn, I beg to express my strong sense of the excellence of the Government arrangements yester day. (Loud cheers ) Having witnessed the arrangements of the Government both at home and abroad, I desire to testify to the oneness of the system and the similarity of the principle on which it is based. (Cheers and laughter.) It was not possible for the Government at so short a no tice to cover the docks of Southampton with mud, nor are they responsible for the sunshine ; but in as far as iu them lies they did their best to make that particular loca lity resemble Balaklavaas much as possible. (Cheers and laughter.) Whether we consider the character of those for whose comfort and convenience they undertook to arrange the proximity of the point of embarkation to the scene of the review, or the facilities afforded at the spec tacle itself, I think there will be no difference of opinion either in this house or the country at large as te tile merit or demerit due to them. (Citeers.) You, fete I understand, were kept waiting nearly:two hours—(several voices, "Four hours")—without being able, as we may say, to form a house—(a laugh)—and when hon. mem bers did arrive I apprehend you never saw a house so perplexed. (Laughter.) But, whatever may have been the fate of.the House of C unmons, that of the other house was, I understand, even worse. I have been in-, funned that it was not till broad daylight this mornine that those members of the House of Lords who trusted implicitly to the arrangements of the Government were able to reach their homes. The lay lords, I understand —at all events the greater part of them—have already , recovered, but some of the bishops are completely ex hausted. (Great laughter.) Still, lam given to under stand that these right rev. prelates will soon recover, and therefore we may congratulate ourselves that no member of either House of Parliament has been drowned upon this occasion. For that we desire to tender our best thanks to the Government. Whether their arrangements were made fur the pur pose of predisposing our minds to peace, whether the terms of that peace might be, by enabling us to see to what hands we were to intrust the management of our fleets—(cheers)—l will not presume to say. We have tried our Government upon two elements, land and water, and it only remains to test them upon that more inflammable element to which the right hon. gentleman opposite intends to call the attention of the house next week. I would suggest that among the other fireworks with which the public are to be amused in the course of a few days one special illumination should be dedicated to the sale return of those members of Parliament who intrested their persons to the awkward keeping of her Majesty's Government. (Cheers and laughter.) Lord W. powLErr—l can cerroborate from per sonal observation and experience what has fallen from the hon. gentleman as to the extremely discreditable na ture of the proceedings yesterday from beginning to end. (Cheers.) Undoubtedly the Government are not respon sible for the misconduct of the railway company, but they should have taken care that the ships appointed to convey the two houses of Parliament to the scene of the great spectacle were all in an effective state. (Hear.) It so happened that, being in Southampton at an early hour, I was desired by a person on board the steamer allotted to the House of Lords to take my place in that vessel, because, in all probability, the House of Com mons would not arrive till a quarter-past four—(a laugh) —I accordingly went on hoard the Transit, where I re mained the whole day, but I must say that a more dis creditable state of things I never witnessed. (Hear.) The whole of the machinery was out of order ; it not only broke down, but we were detained half an-hour at a time, and I was told by the captain himself that he knew the machinery was in an inefficient state. I think, sir, that the head of the Admiralty ought to have ascer tained whether the ships were in an effective state or not But the worst is yet to come. We did not arrive at Spit head until the review was over, and when we reached Southampton in the, evening there was no train waiting for the House of Lords. We were detained an hour until one was formed in the station, and the journey to this metropolis occupied four hours and a-half, the train going at the rate of 10 miles an hour. (Laughter.) I must say, Sir, in conclusion, that the proceedings of yesterday reflect great credit neither upon the members of the Government nor upon the directors of the South- Western Rail w ty. (Cheers.) Mr. 0. STANLEY.—I do not know whether the First Lord of the Admiralty is in his place or not—(cries of "He is not," and laughter)—but, the house will re collect that, when I put the question to him a few days ago as to the arrangements which had been made for I conveying us to the scene of the review, the right hon. gentleman informed me that if I did not like to go I might remain at home. I have only to say now that, if he had told me what his arrangements were, I should have been glad to remain at home. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON.—I would suggest that it would be better les postpone this discussion until my right- honourable friend the First Lord of the Admiralty returns to town, his duties detaining him for the present at Portsmouth. (Laughter.) I really see no occasion for laughter in that statement. I am unable, of course, to explain the nature of the ar rangements which were made by the Admiralty, but when my right hon. friend .shall be in his placel erasure that he will be able to.show that, the Admiralty made the best arrangements which could prospectively be ma le for such an occasion. That there was undoubtedly great delay in getting from London either to Portsmouth or Southampton I myself can bear witness. for I was in the railway- train from 7 o'clock until past 12 on the journey between Waterloo station and Portsmouth. When we arrived at l3ishopstoke it was intimated to us that the tide bad ebbed, and that there would be considerable dif ficulty in getting to our vessel at Spithead. lam told that it was so ; and that no doubt produced a difficulty in getting from Southampton to the vessels which were destined to convey us to Spithead, lam sure that my right hon. friefid will deeply regret if there was any error in the arrangements ; I but I would again submit to the hon. gentleman opposite ho has made this motion that no advantage can arise in delaying other business on account of a discussion which cannot take place satis factorily until my right hon. friend returns. Colonel KNOX asked whether it were the case that the clerks of the Treasury embarked from Portsmouth instead of from Southampton, because, if that we re so , be thought th a t th e H ouses of Lords and Commons might have done the same t He could only add his testimony to what had been said about the arrangements of yester day ; and he hoped far the future when inquiries and blue-books were talked about with reference to the con duct of gallant officers in both services engaged in the war, that the country would place the saddle on the right horse, and would understand that those arrange ments for which officers were b'amed were due to the Government, and to the Government alone. (Cheers ) Mr. H. HERBERT was not surprised at the disap pointment which had been expressed at the arrangements which had been made for the accommodation of the House of Commons ; but, having been one of the first on board the Perseverauce, he was anxious to bear testi mony to the extremely obliging conduct of Capt. Mac donald and the officers of that vessel, (Cheers.) At the hour appointed Capt. Macdonald's vessel was in readi ness, and but for the delay elsewhere the House of Com mons would have been at the review in good time. Mr. NE WDEGATE —1 hope that the hon. member for Salisbury will also be in his place when we aro hon oured with the presence of the First Lord of the Admi ralty, because unquestionably we have great reason to complain of the railway arrangements. As this house legislates for the regulation of railways', I think that it would be a gross dereliction of duty if, after such mis management brought within our own experience, we were to take no notice of it. lam glad that the question is net likely to pass without observation, because I feel that thse House of Cominons being late on such an occasion savours of disrespect to her Majesty, and I hope that we shall acquit ourselves of all blame upon that score by fixing it upon the proper persons. Captain SCOBELL saw no good in postponing the dis cussion until the arrival of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Of course the First Lord would be unaware of the incon venience which the house had experienced, and, at all events, he could not help it now. On future occasions he hoped that the right hon. gentleman would make his ar rangements with better effect; for yesterday the whole " transit" was so bad that it was only by the greatest " perseverance" that the house ever got back to London. The Government, of course, could not answer for the rail way, but when members arrived at the end of the railway journey there was no way of getting off to the fleet ex cept by swimming for it. He believed that not one mem ber either of the Cabinet or of the Government was pre sent to receive the Speaker and the house upon their ar rival, and he thought altogether that there was much reason to complain. No doubt the Government were bet ter provided for somewhere else, but surely some one or other of them might have been there to receive the hou=r. He regretted that on such an occasion some sailing vessels bad not been introduced to show the contrast between such ships and steamers ; and he thought that their ab sence rendered the review somewhat incomplete. Colonel FRENCH—I would _beg to suggest to the noble lord at the head of the Government that when the First Lord of the Admiralty comes to town lie should give him a check for his uncourteous behaviour towards the members of this house in general, and to the hon. member for Anglesea in particular, to whom, when he questioned the arrangements that were being made, the right hon. baronet replied, that if members didn't like them they might stay at home. The system of checking, I believe, has already commenced, and I think that it might be extended with advantage. Report says that the Secretary of the Admiralty bad arranged that members of the Government of the Cabinet) and their wives should go in one vessel, and members of the Go• vernment (not of the Cabinet) and their wives in another; but that the ladies took the quarrel up and declared that they would not be treated in such a manner. (Hear, and laughter.) It is said that the noble lord did then interfere, and that in consequence all the ladies were permitted to go together. I think, therefore, that it would be exceedingly desirable that the noble lord should teach the right hon, baronet to behave with proper court .sy. (Hear.) &r G. GREY—I cannot allow the speech of the bon. gentleman who has just sat down, and which he bas wade in perfect ignorance of the facts, to pass unnoticed. When my right lion. friend comes to the hou a he will state the arrangements which were made by the Admi ralty, in order to afford the greatest amount of conveni ence to the greatest number of people in witnessing that magnificent spectacle at Spithead which reflected the highest credit on the country. (Hear, an I " Oh, oh!") I say that that magnificent fleet and the evolutions which it performed at the review are calculated to raise this country in the estimation of all who witnessed it— foreigners as well as Englishmen. (Hear, hear, and cries of " Question !") My right honourable friend, I am sure, intended no discourtesy in the answer which he gave to the honourable member for An glesea ; and, however much reason there may be to complain of the difficulty in getting on board the Per severaticr., I am certain that every one must have been perfectly satisfied with the manner in which that ship was conducted yesterday. (Hear.) All that we have to regret was the difficulty which was experienced in get ting on board her. With regard to the railway, of coule) the Government was not responsible for delays there ; and, as to no member of the Board of Adtnira!ty being present to receive the house, I may state that the whole of the B Bard of Admiralty was, by her Majesty's commands, in attendance upon her Majesty. Mr. HO` ARD thought-the house somewhat unjust in its strictures upon his right hon, friend ref etive to the First Lord of the Admiralty. It appeared to him that the arrangements were of a very high order, and that the house ought to have been very grateful for them. (Laugh ter and loud cries of " oh !" more especially from the Opposition ride of the house.) The house had shown a great deal of impatience, and did not appear suffici ently to appreciate the magnificent spectacle of yesterday. The blame ouelit to be attributed to the proper people, and they were the conductors of the railway. (Hear.) Capt. DUNCOMBE spoke to the defective stete of one of the vessels employed upon the occasion—either the Transit or the Perseverance, but we did not catch which, The Marquis of GRANBY thought that the House of Commons had great reason to complain that they had been allowed no share in the admirable arrangements which had been provided for the rest of the public. As he was on board the Perseverance, however, ho must add his testimony to that which had been already given of the admirable behaviour of the commander of that ves sel. (Hear, hear.) No doubt, as was said by an hon. gentleman opposite, the review at Spithe id wee a mag nificent spectacle ; but, unfortunately, the House of Commons had not succeeded in seeing in (Hear.) A peace which he sincerely trusted would be an enduring one had happily been terminated, and no doubt the re view had been intended to show to the world what Eng land was able to do. Now, there was no doubt as to the magnificent fleet of ships which had been prepared, nor as to the gallantry and skill of the crews which man ned them, but there was one point upon which some doubt did exist, and without question the review was held in order to dispel that doubt. That doubt was as to the efficient administration of the Admiralty, an 1 the object of the review was to prove that the administration of that department was now different from whet it had hitherto been. It was to prove that scenes such as those which bad occurred in Balakleva harbour could never occur again ; but the result had been to produce a state of things in the harbour of S mthampton similar to what had taken place at Balaklava, and, when such confusion prevailed in a harbour not 73 miles frain London, how could any one be astonished at its being displayed in a harbour distant 3,000 miles ? The members of that house had been invited to be present, and they had fallen victims to that very system, a change of which was intended to be evinced by the review. Mr. PEACOCKE said that he understood that the refreshment for members of the two Houses of Parlia ment had been contracted for at 7s. fid. a head—(An Hon. Member.—" Five Shillings.")---but the Board of Admiralty had taken much better care of themselves ; for he understood that the clerks of that department were provided with all the delicacies of the season. He did not complain so much as regarded the members of that house, but as regarded the members of the other House of Parliament, who were accompanied by ladies ; he thought that they were entitled to at least the same fare as the clerks of the Admiralty. (Hear, hear.) Mr. KENNEDY considered that the whole of the blame ought to be attrib u t e d t o mismanagemen t on th e part of the railway companies, and he should, on an early day, move for a n i nqu i ry i nto the causes of the delay which had occurred on the line of railway. The motion was then negatived. I CENTRAL AMERICA. Lord PALMERSTON laid the correspondence rela tive to the Central American question on the table, THE AMERICAN ENLISTMENT QUESTION. In answer to a question from Mr. H. BAILLIE, Lord PALMERSTON said the papers with reference to it would be ready in a few days, when they should be laid on the table. TUE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. Viscount GODERICII moved an address to thank her Majesty for having caused to be laid before this house the report of the Civil Service Commissioners : to state humbly to her Majesty that this house had ob served, with great satisfaction, the seal and prudence with which the commissioners have proceeded in applying a remedy to evils of a serious character, the previous existence of which had now been placed beyond dispute ; and also the degree of progress that had been made, with the sanction of the heads of various departments of the State, towards the establish ment of a system of competition among candidates for admission to the civil service : to assure her Majesty of the steady support of this house in the prosecution of the salutary measures which she had been graciously pleased to adopt;_ and humbly to make known to her Majesty that if she should think fit fur ther to extend them, and to make trial in the civil ser vice of the method of open competition as a condition of entrance, this .house, would cheerfully provide for any charges which the adoption of that system may entail. Ttienoble lord commenced by paling a eulogmna upon ,4e/of--41V0-1d re.hd-s;hesSe;'4 l : yes`ke7orfees thhhhedd" eg r e s s e - nee n ett he ee , he 4e hct , d'eF'dhsh 'S "VIP 7 , ° ' ' • 7 . sess ee - ..se4este ed e t ! A' N 4: ;•,":7 0 1 4, the ability and zeal with which the civil service commis. l sioners bad discharged their important duties, and pro. ceeded to adduce from their reports evidence to show that out of 106 candidates who had been examined for the Customs' departMent, 42 had been rejected for thee gross(st ignorance ;• while out 01.54 candidates who bad been e xam i ne d f or t b o Admiralty appointments, 19 had • been rejected in consequence of their inability to spell correctly. It appeared that in the case of sorne of the re jected candidates, the word "fingers" had been spelt "fi :gure..,7 while the word "guilty" had been gthened by toe addition of a second "t;" and further, that all those who had been rejected were nominee Candidate: Now the only remedy for the continuance of such a state of things was, he believed, to be found in the adoption of the syStem of free and open cornptti doze and in the maintenance ofthat view he was upheld by the perusal of the commis sioners' report. It was bet and all question the duty of the Government to obtaia for employment in the civil ser vice the fittest persons who could he secured. Under the existing system a result so desirable - had failed to be brought about, inasmuch as one-third or one-fourth of the nominee candidates had been rejected upon account of their deficiency in respect of the simp'est elements of knowledge ; nor was there any guarantee that those who had succeeded were much more conversant with that information which it was expedient they should pos sess. And to what, he might ask, was the deficiency in knowledge, to which he referred to be ascribed ? Was it to the circumstance that the middle classes—from which the candidates for civil service wereloi the most part de rived —were themselves deficient' in 'education ? In his opinion, the cause ought rather to be sought in the pre sent defective mode of selecting those candidates for examination. (Hear.) And it was because he held that opinion that he was desirous of seeing a system of free and open competition for the civil service established. By the adoption of such a system we should be enlarging the sphere of our choice and -would be enabled to make our selection from the flower of the middle classes. In support of his views upon that subject he might to sonic extent quote the authority of .the right hon. gen tlemae the present Secretary for the Colonies, who, in a letter to the Civil Service Commissioners, had stated it to be his opinion that examinations conducted upon the competitive principle afforded a better security for the selection of fit candidates than, in its absence, the efforts of examiners, however experienced they might be, could provide. The opinion of the commissioners ne'ae6ith would, he thought, upon 'a perusal of their report, be found to be no less clear upon the point, and he there fore hoped that the subject would receive the serious attention of her Majesty's Government. It might be urged, however, by the advocates of the system of nomi nation, that under it a certain valuable control was exer cised with respect to the moral qualifications of those who prei eated themselves as candidates for examination, and that under the system which he proposed such must cease to be the case. But in answer to that argument he might ask, if it was true that under the present sys tem any such valuable moral control as that to which he had just alluded prevailed ? Did the right hon. gentle- man the member for Wells (Mr. Ilayter), for instance, institute any inquiries upon that score ?—or if he did, was it possible in nine cases out of ten any accurate in formation could be received ? He believed not, and he could not, therefore, see that the argument to which he had averted formed any good ground why a system of open competition should not be favourably entertained. He might observe that the Society of Arts bad recently promulgated a scheme for a system of public examine- Von for members of mechanics' institutes, which was based upon the principle of free competition, and that to that scheme several eminent commercial firms, to whom a prospectus of it had been rent, had given their approval. He need only mention the firms of the honourable membsr for Halifax (Mr. Crossley); Fox, Henderson, and Co., and Truman, Hanbnry, Buxton, and Co., as among the number, to show that it was a principle likely to find favour with the commercial classes. It was the principle which was adopted in the Indian civil service and in the Ordnance department, and in both it had been found to work well. But it might be said the civil service in this country was not so lucrative as in India, and that the success of free compe tition in its regard could not be taken as a guarantee of the success of a similar system established at home, in asmuch as here similar attractions, in point of emolu ment, would not be presented to men of ability. His answer to that argument should be, that he believed the Government would have no difficulty in finding competent men in this country, too, if they set to work in the right way, because the civil service appoint. ments contained that element of certainty which would, beyond all doubt, direct towards their attainment the minds of a large number of the youth of the middle classes. (Hear, bear.) He also wished to consider the question of free competition in relation to its bear ing upon the advancement of education generally throughout the kingdom ; and that was a point to which he more particularly desired to call the attention of that majority who bad, upon a late occasion, disposed so summarily of the subject of national education in that house. Bus, although be was anxious that the house should sanction the principle of open competiti on t o th e civil servi ce; h e was we l l aware that its adoption could prelude no udraculous improvement in our public ad ministration. But in a Government like ours, where the heads of the great offices of state were frequently changed, a considerable advantage would necessarily be gained by any measure which would tend to increase the efficiency of the subordinate officials in the public departments. Let them condder for a moment the influence which the present system exercised over the re• lat ions of members of that bone to the people whom they represented. He believed that under that system both the electors and elected were placed in a false and unbe coming position. The member of Parliament who re commended a person for employment did not ask him self whether he was the fittest person that could be found, but pressed his application with a zeal pro portioned to the chances of support he might him self receive from a constituent at an election ; and the elector put on his representativ e a pressure which must, in the natural course of things, prove detrimental to the public service. He could net for a moment believe that such a system was necessary to the geed working of our Pariiamentooy form of government. It was, in his opi nion, of the utmost importance that we should prevent the relatitns which members of Parliament bore to their conetitoents from sinking into thst of mere delegates and dispensers ef patronage. The connection between them ought to rest on nm•usl confidence—a confidence on the part of t! e elect ors in tl e'r a is !win honesty, and patriot ism of their lepresentinivee, and ac infidence on the part of the elected in the medera ion and intel,igence of their constituents. He believed thet by adopting the compi titive system in that case more would be done than could be effected by any other measure to place the relations of both pardes on a sound and an honest footing. He believed, t )o, that such a change would greatly con tribute to insure the most efficient men for the dis charge of the public service ; to relieve the Government from an tent arrassing and an injurious pressure ; to pro mote the ditfusion of education throughout the country • to remove class differences, and to allay the sense of class irjustice ; and fir these reasons he begged leave to move the address of which he hal given notice. Sir S. NORTHCOTE seconded the motion. He sail he had reason to think that the objects of tho e who advocated the open competitive system in that case were very gene rally misunderstood by their opponents. They certainly did not wish that the only test of fitness for an office should be mere book learning. Tony felt, on the contrary, that good character Was the very first of all qualifications, and that literary or scientific attainments should be a subor dinate consideration. The open competitive system, as he understood it, did not exclude, but, on the contrary, in cluded a careful exainination of character. It was fre quently said that such a man as the Duke of Wellington would have been rejected under a competitive system. But lie did not believe that; he wes persuaded, on the con trary, that the Duke of Wellington would have easily succeeded in passing any exa,minetion for which the cir cumstances of his tuna might have rendered it necessary that he should have prepared himself. There was no reason why an examination should not be so framed that it would make known the stuff that was in a man as well as his proficiency in any particular branch of human study. He had been very much struck with a passage in the book on England lately pub'ished by M. de Mon talembert. lu that passage the writer contrasted the life and freedom of our system of education with the re straint imposed on the boys iu the colleges of his own country ; and he ended by etoting that the English sys tem turned out nut mere scholars, but men. That was precisely the system which he eished to encourage and to develop by the adoption of the competitive prin. ciple in examinations for admission into our public offices ; amid he believed that such a measure would, at the same time, have the effect of securing for the state the aid of the most useful and efficient public servants. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the E XCHEQUER—The noble lord, in the speech so full of moderation and good taste in which lie has brought this motion forward, has said that those who advocate the measure which ho supports have been charged with the intention of endangering the con stitution and subverting the liberties of the country. So far as I am concerned in anything I may have formerly said, I never certainly made any such charge as that ; and I am far from intending to make any such imputation on the present occasion. My noble friend likewise has argued against the system of nomination upon the ground that it is unnecessary, and detrimental with respect to the working of our representative system of government. Ho has shown the disadvantage which a system of nomi nation, conducted simply upon priaciples of patronage, is calculated to produce in respect to the purity of our electoral system. Ido not object to the principle of open competition, upon the ground of its inconsistency with the system of patronage ; nor, I am bound to say, will I throw any doubt upou the doctrine which my noble friend enforces, upon the ground that it will diminieh the patronage at the disposal of the Crown. I wish to argue this question simply upon the ground of the efficiency of the service. Whether the principle my noble friend seeks to introduce will or will not render the civil service of the Crown more efficient than it was before--that is the issue which I wish to raise. A motion, identical in its tendency, though different in expression, was submitted last session by the hon. member for the county of Cork ; it underwent full debate, and ended with a rejection of the motion. It was made not long after the order in council appointing the civil service commission had issued; and the house ap peared reluctantly to disturb that measure before it had had a fair trial. That system has now been in force something less than a year. The tailor in council is dated the 2let of May, 185 -, ; and of course a little delay occurred before it could bo carried out. The civil service commissioners have made their report ; it is now on the table of the house ; null in that report they have, with great perspicuity and fulness, detailed the steps they have taken in execution of the important trust confided to them. I hope that every one who has read this report will agree with me in think ing that the civil service commissioners have discharged their duties with great discretion, and in a highly efficient and useful manner, and that tho choice of the Crown could not possibly have fallen on gentlemen more calculated to perform• the duty in a satisfactory manner.
