wished to know whether an English officer on half-pay who entered this foreign legion would forfeit it? Lord J. RUSSELL observed that all these details would come under the consideration of Government after the bill pp, see d. They had come to Parliament for their sanction to the general principle before they decided on anything. The right hon. member for Oxfordshire had asked a very important question, and correctly stated the effect of the existing laws. He (Lord J. Russell) considered that the wives and children of these men would be in the position of unsettled paupers, and entitled to relief out of the poor rates. As to the emigration question, suppose a man came over with a large family, and a married son among them; if that son enlisted no colony would object to receive the remainder of the family. No money, however, could be applied to this purpose without the consent of Parlia ment, and they would therefore have ample opportunity of considering the question. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the noble lord had given a very different explanation from that of the Secretary of War. He considered that the house had a right to com plain of the conduct of , he Government. Lord NAAS hoped gear an assurance from the Go vernment that the apparently ill-considered scheme of emigration connected with the measure would be given the up. Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government had no smallest intention to give foreigners any prefePltco . and Grey the noble lord was probably aware that Lo r d had taken great pains to facilitate the settlemen t of soldiers in the colonies. Mr. NEWDEGATE thought that after the Government had confessed their inability to say whence the men were to be obtained, they ha d no e ight to complain of opposition. Mr. WARNER hoped the noble lord would give an as surance that the barracks in the manufacturing districts were not to be given to these foreign troops, and that no barracks would be taken from British troops for their ac commodation. Lord J. RUSSELL said it would be difficult to give all the assurances that were asked for. One hon. gentleman said, " Let the men by no means be in any of the arsenals of the country ; and another hon. gentleman said, " Let them not be in any of the barracks in the manufacturing districts ; " while a third hon. gentleman said, " For God's sake don't let them come into the rural districts." (Laughter.) He should like to know where they were to be trained for the purposes of the war. (Hear, hear.) He believed that, although there might be a temporary preju dice raised, as there was, perhaps, in 1804, yet when these soldiers came to be trained they would be regarded, with respect, and m an y p ersons wou ld b e ex t reme ly sorr y that they h ad indulged in such illiberal prejudice. Mr. WHITESIDE said in the bill of 1804 it was provided that the foreign troops should not go more than five miles from the coast. If such troops were to be introduced into Ireland he would submit that they should be stationed in the nearest poor-house which had no paupers. Mr. BANKES wished to know what was to ho done about billeting. Mr. S. HERBERT said he must request hon. gentlemen to be reasonable. Mr. BANKES—We wish to make a bill ; this is not one. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. S. HERBERT said there were certain details which the executive only:could manage. It was impossible to put everything in an act of Parliament. The question of the barracks, for example, must be left to the discretion of the executive. (" No, no," from the Opposition.) No fetters were imposed on it with regard to the billeting of other troops. (Hear.) As to the provision that the German legion was not to be quartered more than five miles from the coast, he would observe that it was afterwards de parted from. (Hear.) It must be the disposition of the Government to place these new foreign troops where least opposition was likely to be excited by their presence. Colonel DUNNE said no class of society disliked this bill more than military men. He hoped the right hon. gentleman would inform the profession at large how they were to be placed relatively to these foreign troops—whe ther the officers were to have the same rank as British officers, and whether the latter were in any case to be com manded by them. Mr. BENTINCK intimated that it was his intention to divide against the clause. Mr. BANKES said it was no unimportant question to their fellow-subjects whether they were to have these foreign troops billeted upon them against their will or not. It was no insignificant matter of detail, but one of principle. Mr. GROGAN thought the clause ought to be post poned. Mr. S. HERBERT said the Government had in this matter strictly followed the precedent of the last bill, in. which there was no restriction of the kind now suggested. It was said that the German legion was peculiarly consti tuted ; but if hon. gentlemen referred to the debates of 1801, they would find them constantly described as merce naries, and the scum of the earth. (Hear.) Mr. WHITESIDE complained that the question with regard to billeting had not been answered. Mr. S. HERBERT said, of course the foreign troops were not to be billeted. There were many ways of treating men who were to be here only for a few weeks, and not to form part of the permanent garrison of the country. Mr. WHITESIDE said, there was a distinct provision in the act of 1794, that the foreign troops then about to be raised should not be permitted to advance more than five miles into the interior of England. If the house knew who and what the troops were the Government were likely to raise under tbis bill, there might not be the same constitutional jealousy of these troops. Perhaps the Government would quarter those who might be sent to Ireland in the poorhouses nearest the coast, for there were no paupers there. Lord J. 1 1 .13%.%1LLL said he understood the rig ht hon gentleman, the memb er f or Bucks, some time ago to tat e . that he thought it would be to Vae convenience s of p ublic business that the house should go into eoraraitt. that evening, and that the third reading should be taken o n the following day. If the bill was to be rejected, it was desirable that it should be so immediately; if, on the contrary, it was to become law it should be passed as soon as possible. What would be the object of making delay then he really could not conceive. As to the question whether the men were to be respectable, or the scum of the earth, he replied that of course it was the intention of the Government to obtain, as far as possible, respectable men. They could net, however, bring certificates to that house with regard to the character of the men to be en listed ; that was a matter which must be left to the Go vernment. (Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. T. CHAMBERS, Mr. DISRAELI had never intended to say that the bill was to pass through committee without discussion. He was sorry that her Majesty's Government were not able to give a satisfactory answer to the question which had been put ; but he could not attempt to control gentlemen sitting on that side of the house with regard to the point under discussion. Mr. SPOONER could never give his consent to a mea sure which would render his fellow subjects liable to have foreigners billited in their houses. Lord J. RUSSELL said it had already been stated more than once, that the Government had not the smallest in tention of billeting them. (Hear.) Mr. BANKES said the bill gave the power as it stood then. Lord J. RUSSELL—Let the right bon. gentleman give notice of an amendment for the third reading. Mr. BANKES could not give such a notice, as he did net approve of the bill. After a few words from Mr. SrooNER, The amendment was negatived without a division, and clause 1 was agreed to. Clauses 2, 37 and 4 were then agreed to. Upon Clause 5, Mr. PACKE thought there ought to be some limit in the time of the duration of this bill, so that the opinion of the country might be taken upon it when its continuance was to be provided for. Ile thought that it ought not to be now passed for a longer period than until the end of the next session of parliament ; this would bring it to about August, 1856. He should, therefore, upon the third read ing, propose to add these words " That this act shall continue in force until the end of the next session of parliament, or until one year after a definite treaty of peace should be agreed upon, provided that the expira tion of this act shall in no case affect the service of foreigners who shall have enlisted before the act shall expire." Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask a question with regard to the second clause, which scorned very obscurely worded. It did not seem to prevent the employment of these Ger man troops for any purpose in which the government might think fit to use them. Lord J. RUSSELL said it was the intention of his hon. and learned fr:end the Solicitor-General to move, on the third reading, to insert certain words, whioh he thought wouldrneet the observations of the hon. gentleman. The words which it would l e proposed to insert wore—" which shall be kept and reserved solely for the purposes of drilling and training the troops." The remainder of the bill then passed through committee and the house resumed. SAVINGS BANK FUNDS. The report of the committee hereon was brought up. THE ARMY IN THE EAST. Sir G. HEATHCOTE asked the Secretary at War when the wooden houses for the t r oo ps in the Crimea mightbe expected to arrive, and whet he r any progress had yet been made to provide huts or shelter from any resources derive c 1 from the country it:elf ? The same as t o winter clothing, ' when it might be expected to arrive Mr. S. HERBERT would answer the questions in the order they had been put. With regard to the wooden houses, the Government caused some of them to be con structed immediately information had bean received from Lord Raglan thf.t they would be required. The larger portion of these were at sea, and as far as Government could hazard a guess, they were now about the Bosphorus. The Government found that they could not obtain a suffi cient quantity of materials to hut the whole army here. They ha _l lost no time in sending orders by telegraph to Lord Stratford to procure as many of the necessary ma terials as possible, and to forward them to Balaklava. Lord Raglan had at the same time sent to Sinope to pur chase timber there. Lord Westmoreland had also re ceived instructions to have huts constructed in Austria, ren*the Government had heard by the mail before lee that an Austrian Lloyd's steamer had left Trieste with "ne of the huts on board. He did not know the exact extent if hernolafge aid which had been sent from Austria, but by Lord Westmoreland it from the amount of the bill sent is apeet to the tuaoreland, it was considerable. With re st the cam p, clothing a great portion had arrived another portion was on its way, and a groat t ta deal had y he stated that the o• In the last letter from Lord Raglan m clothing which had arrived was in coarse of distribwnlj , and would doubtless add greatly to the comfort of the l Z e n Sir G. HEATHCOTE I t t n the great and disproportionate asked whether, looking at and what loss among the officers in the late battles, any s had beea taken to do away with the differences in the' f tho officers and privates, both in reference to thei;eoaiarnd9Tary clothing and that specially ordered for winter 0 " Mr. S. HERBERT said that the Government Crimea ? might be instructions to Lord Raglan, as rnazy " , Z e nt had given unable from want of means or of facilities of 8 obtain warm clothing, that be was at libe r t y ti :rport, to clothes to the officers as well as to the men. So far as was concerned there would of course be no differenaesettis tweon the dress of men and officars. The new pattern in uniforms, of which the next issue of clothin g wo uld con sist, made but a slight difference between the dress of nfa. cers and men. There would be no epaulette, and thus the most distinguishing feature between the officer and privat e would noPenger exist. While upon this subject, he might mention that he had spoken with officers who had been at Balaklava, and they told him that there was much misap prehension in the idea that our officers were cut off through the differences of their uniforms. It should be recollected that the duties of officers naturally led them into greater difficulties than those of privates. In addition mounted officers were, of course, more likely to fall under musketry. Sir W. HEATHCOTE asked if the difference in the undress nnifcem of officers was to continue? Mr. S. HERBERT believed that in the new pattern there was no undress coat. The house then adjourned at half-past 8, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1854. I East ; but the men they now intended to engage were not to be placed upon the same footing as those brave fellows who fought for common feelings of nationality against a- power that was overrunning the whole continent. These men's sympathies would only be enlisted for pecuniary purposes. (Hear, hear.) He suggested that if we made our service more attractive we should have no difficulty in raising any given number of men, and he would remind the house that at Waterloo our bravest men in the ranks were not the old Peninsular heroes, but raw recruits. He also suggested that we should at once set about a proper organisation of the Turks whose daring at Silistria had shown that they were not to be made the subject of ridicule which they had by ono hon. member of this house. (Hear, hear.) At the conclusion of this gentlesmans speech Mr. Cohdeu and another member rose at the same time, and, amidst calls from several hon. members for Cobden, the other gentle. man gave way. Mr. COBDEN then rose and said, that this sub ject had been so fully discussed that he should avoid as far as possible trenching upon those points which had been so fully entered into. They had heard that honour able members in this house had voted against their con science upon this measure, and favourable to it, to record it as a vote of confidence in Government. If this was to be taken as one of the effects of the war, he muret say it was a very demoralising one. He did not mean to say any thing upon the question of the necessity of this unhappy war, but if it was to be one of invasion by land he could only say it must be carried on upon very different grounds than we have hitherto done. He contended that he had not yet in this house or out of it, met any who could give him any clear definition of what we were now fighting for. If this was to bo a war to stop the spread of barbaric despotism over all continental nationalities and freedom, then we should not be called upon to bs the Anacharsis Cloots of the world, and do all the fighting ourselves. Much of the popularity of this war was to be attributed to the generally prevailing opinion that this was a war to crush the power of Russia, and prevent its further interference with the freedom of Poland and Hungary. : We had already checked the in tention of Russia in invading the dominions of the Turk. He thought it was highly desirable that negotiations should be opened upon the terms last issued from St. Peters burg, because both Prussia and Austria agreed with those terms, and these powers were essentially interested in their maintenance of trickery. (Hear, hear.) Why, then, should we seek stronger guarantees from Russia than these two Powers were satisfied with? For his part he thought the intentions of Russia to invade Europe had been greatly exaggerated in this country, or Austria and Prussia would have been more sensitive upon the point. They had more to fear than we, and he was therefore at a lo3s to understand why we should require better terms than would content either of those two powers. No doubt the people of Prussia sympathised with England, but he very much questioned if they were ready to go to war to support her ; indeed, if they could be polled on the subject, he believed nineteen-twen tieths of them would uphold the peaceful policy of their King, There would be neither honour nor interest involved in our agreeing to these terns. He admitted that we might succeed in subduing Sebastopol, but it was its subjugation, with the cost we should have to pay for it. Could we ever hope for peace with Russia so long as he held any portion of her territory, and consi dering that no object could be attained by our getting pos sion of Sebastopol, he thought it was a waste of life and treasure to keep up the siege. The fall of Sebastopol would not destroy Russian power, because thought it night lead to immediate peace within ten years afterwards, Russia could have made it more impregnable than ever. Dunquirk should be a warning to us upon this head ; we sought once to destroy their fortress as we were now seeking to destroy Sebastopol, and we succeeded, but in a very short time afterwards France had made it far stronger than it was before. (Hear, hear.) The war was demoralising Turkey rather than regenerating her, and he trusted Parliament and the people would shortly become convinced that more could be done for her in a time of peace in reforming her Government and internal condition than in a time of war.

The LOAD CIiANC&LLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. BURIAL GROUNDS. The Bishop of LONDON moved for a return of the number of burial grounds that at present remain open, and also a return specifying the number of interments that have taken place therein during the present year. i Ordered. THE MILITIA BILL. ing T o h f e t D hi u s k b e ill. of NEWCASTLE moved the third read- The bill was accordingly read a third time and passed. SAVINGS BANKS. Lord MONTEAGLE, in moving for !some returns took the opportunity of correcting a mis-statement that had appeared in a morning paper, Tke paper in ques tion made it appear that he had stated that the interest of the depositors had been materially affected by the mea sures of the Government. He had not only denied that he had used such an expression, but he had expressed a totally different opinion. The noble lord moved for a return of the statement of exchequer deficiency and other bills in anticipation of the public revenue issued in each quarter since the sth of Aprillast up to the sth of April 1855. What are the dates of their issue, the dates of redemption, and amount outstanding on the sth of January 1855, setting forth also the rate per cent. of in terest paid in each quarter upon such description of bills ; shewing also out of what funds they have been redeemed. (Hear; hear.) Of all Exchequer bills or other Government securities purchased and taken by the Bank of England during the said period ; of all sales or purchases of stock or other securities by the Commissioners of the National Debt ; of all values in the Exchequer during the quarter of the same period ; of the additions to and reductions of the funded and unfunded debt for the same period; and of all sums certified after the expiration of each quarter by the Lords Commis sioners of the Treasury to the Commissioners for the re duction of the National Debt. Earl GRANVILLE said her Majesty's Govern ment had no objection to the return.. Return ordered accordingly. Their lordships then adjourned till a quarter before nine to-morrow morning. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. Mr. LA.YARD presented a petition from an individual named Smith, praying that he might have an opportunity during the war of trying experiments with some now de structive missile which he alleged he had discovered. SAVINGS BANKS BILL. THE CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the Savings Bank Bill, which was read a first time and ordered to be printed. THE TEA DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that, in the event of the continuance of the war, it was the intention of the Government to propose, when the time ar rived for making the financial statement of 1855-6, that the duty upon tea instead of falling progressively to ls. per lb. should continue at ls. 6d. per lb. until peace was restored. TAXES ON KNOWT;EDGE. Mr. BRIGHT drew the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the fact that the Inland Revenue De partment had resolved to prosecute an unstamped Notting ham publication. Now so long as the Telegraph Company were allowed to publish their information without a stamp, some leniency ought to be shown to occasional publica tions that publish intelligence on the subject of the war. MILITARY UNIFORMS. Mr. EWART wished to inquire of the Secretary-at- War what measures had been or would be adopted for the assimilation, as far as may be practicable, of the uniforms of officGrs and privates in the army? Mr. S. HERBERT (Secretary-at- War) said the new pat tern in the army had done away with the distinction be tween the dress of the officers and privates. CORPORALS' PAY. Mr. PELLATT asked the Secretary-at-War whether a corporal, having good-conduct money in addition to his usual pay, would be deprived of that allowanca on his promotion to the rank of serjeant, so that his aggregate pay might be reduced below what he had previously en joyed as a corporal ; if so, what were the reasons, and had Government contemplated a remedy for such apparent in 'ustice ? Mr. S. HERBERT said his attention had already been drawn to this subject, and he intended to draw up an alte ration in the warrant which would be immediately promul gated to meet this particular case. SICK AND WOUNDED IN THE CRIMEA. Mr. WHITESIDE asked what number, according to the very latest accounts of the soldiers who were landed in the Crimea, were in hospital ; and what proportion of pay, if any, is deducted from each soldier while so in hospital ? Mr. S. HERBERT said the last returns he had received were dated the 25th of Nov. and sth of Dec. The last ac kl count from Bala.klava gave as in the hospital 2,395, while is temeospital at Scutari the number was 3,550 ; making a total of 5,945 ;ext. e•wae afraid the next accounts would make a considerable addition to that numbs. - Withregard to the second question, the amount of stoppage from each soldier in hospital was 3Ad a day, being the same amount of stoppage that was made for rations. Sir J. WALSH asked if these numbers included the wounded as well as the sick 2 Mr. S. HERBERT said the figures included both sick and wounded. MINIE RIFLES. Major REED asked whether such rifles as may be col lected after an engagement are distributed as soon as pos sible among those regiments previously armed with the old musket, or whether they are placed in store ; also, if it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to substitute the Itlinie rifle for the present musket generally throughout the army in the Crimea, and, if so, whether any and what measures had been taken to carry out that object ? Mr. S. HERBERT was not able to give any answer to the question as to what was done with the rifles found in the field, but, of course, it would create much confusion if Annie rifles were only here and there distributed amongst divisions armed with the common weapon. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the intention of the Go vernment for the future, it was intended to arm the whole army in the Crimea with the Minio rifles, and they were being issued as fast as they could be brought in. PUBLIC-HOUSES IN SCOTLAND. Mr. COWAN wished to ask the Lord Advocate of Scot land if he had reason to believe that the act for the better regulation of public-houses in Scotland, passed in 1853, has been fairly put in operation within the Royalty and under the jurisdiction of the magistrates of the city of Edinburgh ; if he has received any complaints that beyond these bounds and :in the Sheriff Courts and Justice of Peace Courts this law is virtually a dead letter ; and Whether in this case it!was his intention to apply a remedy or to introduce any legislative measure in order to secure a more fair and uniform administration of the statute re ferred tu? The LORD ADVOCATE had no reason to think that the act had not been thoroughly put in operation. With regard to the latter part of tho question, it might become matter for serious consideration whether any alteration should be made in the la.w. THE SLAVE TRADE. _ Sir G. B. PECHELL asked if any information had been received that the new Government in Spain had given effect to those decrees relative to the abolition of the slave trade and the registration of slaves in the island of Cuba which were issued about the month of June last : Also, whe ther the number of cruisers on the coasts of Cuba had been increased, as was promised last session and in conformity with the report of the Select Committee on Slave Trade Troaties. Lord. J. RUSSELL said the Government of France had done its best to put in force their desire, but as yet no ac counts on that head had been received from the now Governor-General Concha. The General, however, CM leaving Madrid, promised to do his utmost to suppress the slave trade, and ho had no doubt the General would fulfil his promise. Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to the second question, said he had to state that since the end of the last session the squadron on the coast of Cuba had been greatly augmented, and the admiral had been entrusted with most ample dis cretion for taking such stops as he should deem necessary for suppressing this hateful traffic. RUSSIAN BLOCKADE OF MEMEL. Mr. DISRAELI wished to know whether the First Lord of the Admiralty had received an account of the blockade of the port of Memel by the Russians ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, so far from having received any such information, he had reason to believe no such blockade had beet established. Ho had received a despatch from Admiral Chads, dated Elsinore, the 15th of December, stating that our fleet was still in the Baltic, and if any Russian ships had appeared off Memel, they would have been inevitably attacked. DUCHY OF OLDENBURG. Mr. OT WAY asked the President of the Council whether any communications had passed between her Majesty's Government and oar Minister at Berlin relating. to the acquisition by Prussia of a parb of the Duchy of Oldenburg, and to the intention of the Prussian Government of form ing a naval arsenal in the Jande ? Lord J. RUSSELL said her Majesty's Government re ceived some time ago information that Prussia had acquir ed part of the Duchy of Oldenburg, and that it was the intention of Prussia to form such into a naval arsenal: The Governments of Hanover and Brunswick were likely to remonstrate against this alteration of pai. of the Duchy, but the British Government had not thought it necessary to make any representation to the Court of Berlin on the subject. FOREIGN ENLISTMENTS. Colonel DUNNE inquired if any officers—mentioning the name of one—had yet been retained to command some of the troops to bo raised under the Foreign Enlistment Bill? Mr. S. HERBERT said the bill had not yet received Parliamentary sanction, and until that bad taken place Government had no authority to move in the matter. CHRISTMAS RECESS. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, in the event of the Foreign Enlistment Bill passing to-night, he should propose to-morrow that the house, at its rising, should adjourn until Tuesday, the 23rd January, 1855. THE ENLISTMENT OF FOREIGNERS BILL. Upon the order of the day to proceed with the third reading of this bill, Mr. E. DERING moved, as an amendment, that it read a third ti me th a t d a y six months; and in so doing,be contended that the Government had not shown that they in this act intended to enter into any proper treaty with a foreign State, and that they were about to enter into an engagement with a proper body of men pro perly equipped, officered and ready for service. Had they shown that it would have been quite different such a course would have been quite in accordance with the proper spirit of the laws of internationality. He wished to know what the Government would gain by the engagement of these foreign mercenaries, unless they showed that 10,000 of our countrymen could not be brought into the field in less than six months. In using the term mercenaries he did not intend to cast any slur upon the German Legion who fought with us during the former continental wars. They were a brave and gal lant band, and glad would he be to see such men fighting shoulder to shoulder with our - Allies in the in action, Nov. 21; Ensign Alexander Heywood to be Lieutenant, without purchase, vice Campbell, whose pro motion on Dec. 8 has been cancelled, Dec. 8 ; Ensign John Brett to be Lieutenant, without purchase, vice Curzon, Dec. 2?.

CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of E❑glish wheat were very moderate, and the show of samples of both red and white was sin4,ll. As the attendance of both town and country millerg was limited, the demand was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The show of foreign wheat was small ; nevertheless, sales progressed slowly, at late rates. In floating cargoes, very little was doing. We had less inquiry for barley and malt, at barely sta tionary prices. The oat trade was firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency. Beans and peas were very dull. Flour was unaltered in value. Wheat. 2,321 ARRIVALS TIIIZ WREN. Barley. Malt. 2,050 2,210 .• •• F Jrdig.ll Oath. I Flour. 930 : 810 2,070 7,483 I 120sks 1760 brls - "- 2,67) 470 SMITHFIELD. Although the supply of beasts on sale to-day was very moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled inactive. In prices, however, scarcely any change took place. We were very scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Calves—the number of which was limited—were dull, at Monday's currency. Pigs com manded very little attention, on lower terms. Mikh cows were heavy, at from 144. to 191. each, includ ing their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.
