The Government con tinued to redeem the Public debt at the rate of about 50,0001. p er week, t he term originally fixed for these purchases having been tztended for another month. The amounts thus dis tlreed by the Treasury, however, were far below the additions constantly taking place to the 6,000,000/. already locked up in specie on account of surplus re- I t enue, In the stock markets there had been a revival ° activity and a general tendency to r ecover y . The last ac counts from California were again unifo rml y favourable Betteregards the gold production, and there wre also r reports of the results of The Chinese immigration still continued on considerable scale.

(~Before Mr. Baron Parke.) A VALIIAII)".E VEHICLE-LANGLEY V. HAYNES. This was an a( ition to recover the value of a chaise and harness. Mr. Prentis -was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins for the defendeir it. It appeared t. hat, some time ahout the end of March, the defendant, I.vho lives at Barnet, lent a gig and har ness to a person i named Salmon, who described himself as an agent for collecting bad debts. Salmon not re turning the gig„ after being for some time questioned, stated that he h ad left it with the defendant, who keeps a beer-shop in I erdinand-street, Camden Town, having borrowed 3/. 10. s. upon it. The plaintiff then went to the Barnet bench thf magistrates to know what steps he should take against Salmon, and they referred him to the magis trate at Maryle bone, and they told him he had better consult his lawyer, and he went to Mr. Hall, of Lincoln's-inn, who wrote a letter upon the 24th of April demanding the return of the gig, and upon the following day he followed it up 'with a writ, not giving the defendant time to make the return. Upon the day following de fendant drove the gig down to Barnet, but plaintiff being specially - told by his solicitor not to receive the vehicle, the consequence was the gig and harness were left in the maiva road at Barnet, near the defendant's house, much to the amusement of the townsfolk ; but what had fin ally become of the vehicle did not ap pear, as the last account of it was, that it remained in the road, with a mob around it, it being in a very shat tered conditio n. The plaintiff, in cross-examination, created much laughter by h is description of the origin of the vehicle — he had it made under his own guidance, out of a part of a tilbury, a part of a street cab, and portions of hadfive o ther different sorts of c onve y ances ; and finally, he himself painted it a pea green, and picked it out white. The harness was not less remarkable. It was made up of many parts, and fitted alike a cart horse and a pony. Plaintiff would not sny the value of the property—it was great. He had paid as much as 71. for some of the al terations. For the defence witnesses were called to prove the very valueless character of the vehicle, and it was con tended that but for the interference of the lawyer, an action would never have been brought for so paltry an affair. The Jury found for th e plaintiff 71. 103., in addition to 1/. paid into court. --- COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

THE ESTIMATES. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to know what esti mates it was proposed to take to-night in committee of supply ? Mr. WILSON said it was proposed to commence with No. 1 in the printed estimates and go through them in their order. The estimates connected with the revenue department, which were included in the notice on the paper to-day, could not be considered by the house until the bill on the subject had passed into a law. Mr. H. HERBERT asked when the packet service estimates were likely to be printed ? Mr. WILSON hoped they would be printed in a few days. MINISTER OF WAR. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, in moving the, you leave the chair, I will give an answer to the question which the honourable member for Montrose addressed to me before the recess with respect to the administration of the affairs of the army, I imagine that there are two questions upon this subject which engage the attention of the house—the one is the question of giving more imme diate vigour and efficiency to the war department, and the other relates to the arrangements to be made respecting the administration of all the various departments connected with military affairs. Now, sir, with regard to the first point, namely, the more efficient administration of mili tary affairs in time of war—it is, I think to be collected from the general feeling, and it is the opinion of her Ma jesty's Government, that a Minister having the charge of the Colonial department, bearing in mind the manner in which the business of that department has increased since the last war, is both physically and morally unable to give the affairs of the war department that great amount of attention, time, and labour which those affairs in time of war absolutely require. (Hear, hear.) It is, therefore the opinion of her Majesty's Government that the affairs of the War Department, instead of being united to the ad ministration of the Colonies, as they at present are,should be separated from it. The next question regards the ad ministration of the various departments which aro con nected with military affairs. The house is aware that these departments are several in number, and it knows, likewise, that one of the principal Secretaries of State ' as Secretary of State for the War Depar tm e nt, takes the Queen's pleasure with respect to the amount of forces to be kept up for the year—takes' the Queen's pleasure, also, w ith regard to any considerable aug mentation to be made, and generally takes from her Ma jesty by those directions which the military . affairs of this country are regulated. The Secretary at War administers the financial affairs of the army ; the Board of Ordnance has, in the first place, the management of the artillery and the engineers, but it has likewise various other duties to perform which from time to time have been added to it; the commissariat is a department by itself, and its duties are well known; and there are various other departments which are more or less concerned in the military affairs of the country. Now, sir, in the year 1831,32 there was a committee of the Government appointed, of which the Duke of Richmond was the head, and of which I had the honour of being a member, and that committee was of opinion that there should be a general board, which should have the affairs of the army under its control, but divided into different a partments—one to lodge the army, another to clothe the army, a third to feed the army, a fourth to furnish arms, and so on. Somewhat later a commission was a ppointed, of which Earl Grey, who was then Secre tary of War, was the head, and of which, also, I had the honour of being a member, and that commission was of opinion—at least, Earl Grey suggested, and the members of the commission concurred in the recommendation—that there should be greater concentration of departments, and that the Secretary at War should exercise many of the functions which are now discharged by the Secretary of State. The plan which I have first mentioned did not meet with the approbation, if I recollect right, of Earl Grey, who was then at the head of the Government, and it certainly was not persevered in any farther. The second plan was laid before the Duke of Wellington, who stated to Lord Melbourne, the First Minister of the Crown, such grave and, I think, such reasonable objections to the placing in the hands of the Secretary at War a con trol which properly belonged to one of her Majesty's Secretaries of State, that the plan likewise was not pro ceeded with. Sir, under these circumstances, her Ma jesty's Government are of opinion that the best thing to be done for the present would be to confine ourselves to the change of making a separate Secretary of State for the War Department, confiding to him a superintendence over all those matters which fall under the administration of mili tary affairs in time of war. Having been a member of both commissions, I have no hesitation in say in g that I was not at all satisfied, after hearing the objections of Earl Grey and the Duke of Wellington, that either of the propo s ed plans would have ensured the efficient and complete work ing of all the yea ions departments connected with military affairs in this country. But a Secretary of State would have those departments under his immediate superinten dence. He would have the control of the whole of them, and could say from time to time what improvements ought to be introduced, and could either introduce these improve ments singly, or prepare some plan to be afterwards sub mitted to the consideration of the Government as a more general reform of the various military departments. This, I think, is all that it would be advisable at the present moment to attempt. To introduce greater changes—to derange and put into a state of confusion all those various departments at a time when we have but lately entered into a war—would, in my opinion, be a very rash and dangerous undertaking. I have been told, with respect to the most beneficial change which was made by my right honourable friend the present First Lord of the Admiralty, when he abolished the Navy Board more than twenty years ago, that it took upwards of two years before that alteration could be made so as to ensure the harmonious working of the new system. If that be so, it is obvious you cannot adopt in the first instance an entire plan, with out the risk of producing probably a great deal more con fusion than at the present time, instead of ensuring that harmony and unity which are so much desired, There are certain principles which I thin k should guide us with respect to this subject. It is easy to say " Unite the various departments." But while there is the greatest benefit in having one head which can control departments and branches of the same kind of service, there very often will be great disadvantage in uniting in one department what ought to be dividecfamongst several. The progress which has been made in society in general has been a progress made, not by uniting, but by separat ing different mechanical arts and manufactures which in early times were united together. Is it not the same with regard to the immediate subject under our notice ? If we were to desire the infantry to do the work of the cavalry, and the cavalry to be as complete a s the artillery, that, evidently, instead of improvement, would rather produce disorganisation, and prevent the efficient working of those different branches. At the same time, everybody sees that it is unfit that the commander of the cavalry should have a separate command, or that the commander of the artillery should have his own mode of conducting operations, and that it is desirable all should bo under one head and ono commander. With respect to certain things unity is de sirable. With respect to others, separation is the best way of attaining that end. It appears to the Government better to allow the Secretary of State, who is placed at the head of this department to consider from time to time what is the best arrangement, and how improvements can be in troduced. It certainly appears that there are defects, which have been pointed out by my honourable friend the member for Montrose; and by others, in the other as well as in this house, and no doubt very considerable improve ments can be made. (Hear, hear.) There is one change, however, which I must say I do not think we can consider in the light of an improvement—that the patronage exer cised by the Commander-in-Chief, without political consi derations should be abolished. (Hear.) Ido not think that would be likely to give satisfaction to the public. It seems to me far better that the patronage should continue to be exercised as for a long series of years it has been and is now exercised, having regard to the benefit of the army, totally apart from any considerations of which party is in power or in opposition. (Hear , hear.) These are the only re marks which I wish to make on this subject. It will not be necessary to have recourse to Parliament for any bill to separate the departments of war and the colonies. That can bo effected nearly in the same manner as the Home Department was separated from that of War and the Colonies. There will be, of course, some increa sed ex penses ; but the establishment now found to be sufficient for both departments will be nearly sufficient for them when separated. An estimate will be proposed for defray ing the charges of the Secretary of State for the War De partment ; and the Secretary of State for the War Depart ment, having his undivided attention given to the affairs of that department—never more important than at the pre sent moment, or requiring more vigour and decision—will be able to serve his country in the manner it deserves. Mr. HUME was glad to find her Majesty's Government had made a beginning, but hoped they would lay on the table some more definite plan. He was one who agreed with the noble lord in thinking that individuals should bo placed in a situation to perform separate duties, but united at the same time under one command. He never contem plated altering the powers of the Commander-in -Chief with respect to patronage. What he desired to see was one head —a member of her Majesty's Government—who should have the opportunity of being consulted upon all orders that rm were given. He wished to see the artillery form part oy, and no longer be a strange body, unknown to the Comman der-in-Chief. He wished to see men of experiencetaapt pointed as aides-de-camp, to perform those most i,nslpz, iung duties, instead of young men of two or three y i ears t The ar ia the army who wore entirely incapab e. ra tions. ra ngements he desired were arrangee tints which t d 1 all eury considered the Treasury ou g ht to checkthat ant , control the Tr as a partments, he thought it anomalousportpat of al should have tho mosgement a that boat LIP it w ho o u u g h h i n h o e t weaken but give strengt h to all op id MINES JP 1 d 2 3 - 10 7 - 4i 5i li 21 29 —3l 31. it idi 44 - 46 i - li 11 - 12 50 - 60 2 - 4 p 11 - 21 = 'I 1 - 1. i - tlO - 1 6 - 16 - 17 33 - 35 9 10 41 -4/ 2 - 4 4 3i - 3 i a ... - i - .... •.

He did not the other. wish to blame the Government, but while the manner in Mr. HUME advocated the reference of the estimates is which the artillery and troops had been conveyed to the a select committee as the only effectual means of bringing East was highly creditable to the country, it was utterly them into a satisfactory state. However ,ta king military s vote impossible there could be that efficiency which under a as it was he found a charge of 595/.the m proper system might have been obt ained. He was not die- knights' houses at Windsor Castle, although it was stated satisfied with what was now proposed, but he wanted a that there were several thousand pounds which ought to little more to be done, and the sooner it was done the be applicable to that purpose ; a charge of 4,9641. for lia better.

Unless , therefore, the noble Tying into effect the provisions of that act • charges for the lord laid upon the table a programme of what would would be British Museum a nd for the Royal Mint,' although there united and what separated, so as to promote efficiency in was a se parate vote for each to be afterwards proposed; the different departments, it was impossible the ho use and no less than 20,1581. for the rent of houses occupied as would be satisfied or disposed to vote any money.
