'ERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS—C DAY.) The S PEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. 'V ACCINATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Oa the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BRADY proposed that legislation should be post poned until next session, when tho defects of the present vaccination system could be effe..ftually remedied. As long as the stamp of pauperism was kept upon the ex isting act it would remain imperative, but, nevertheless, if the house would refrain from bmislation on the subject until February next, he would 'pledge himself to bring in a bill which at all events shoald have the merit of being practical, which this measure was not. He moved that the bill be committed this day three months. ' Mr. T. DUNCOMBE secondod the amendment. Sir J. PAKINGTON contended that the mearre was essential for the public health, and he could Aot consent to any postponement. The amendment was then negatived without a division, and the House went into Committee. After some discussion all the clauses of the Bill were struck out with Lthe exception of the second, which corrects the mistake in the Bill of last session. The House then resumed. EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR ESTATES MANAGEMENT BILL. this bill, On the or d er of the day for , going into committee on Mt. CAYLEY moved as an instruction to the com mittee, that it is expedient in this bill, renewing the act 14 and 15 Victoria, c. 104 , to define more clearly the intention (af Vile following words in the first Cl ause of that asst, viz., "It shall be lawful for any Ecclesiast3,cal Corporation, sole or aggregrate, with the approval in writing of the Church Estate Commissione-rs, who shall pay due regard to the just and reasonable claims of the present holders of lands, under lease or otherwise, arising from the long continued practice of renewal, to sell to any lessee, under any lease granted by such corporation, the revision, estate, and interest of such corporation in all or any of the lands comprised in such lease, for such consideration, upon such terms, :and in such manner as such corporation and lessee may, with such approval as aforesaid, think fit." (LEFT SITTING.) 110YAL TREE HOSPITAL (TILTS DAY.) St. 25 TENTH DAY'S INQUIRY. This morning, at half-past eleven, the inquiry was again resumed, with the continued examination of Mr. Wakley, nen., who began by entering into a statement about the dismissal of Dr. Gay, and denied that be bad t aken any part in it, or that lie had read the biography Publish e d an d reflecting upon the character of him (Mr un t ;l Wakley, and which it was alleged gave the offence), thr ) ee ( months after his (D r . Gay's) dismissal. Mr. Wakley had no sooner began, than a scene of a most re loP.rkable character took place. Some of the j , iry com- Plaining of the useless waste of time about going into xnatters irrelevant to the inquiry, which was as to the death of the child, and, amidst cheers upon one side and hisses upon the other, Mr. Wakley, in a few words, con tinued his statement, and again denied he had acted With animosity towards Dr. Gay. Mr. Eallantine then rose to cross-examine Mr. Wakley as to the time he (Alr. Wakley) joined the hospital as 'upon the committee, which he said was some years ago, and about that time his son joined the hospital as sur- R BOl l ; and asked if at the time of joining there was not imaisnlanagement in the hospital ? „,,:poe memb er o f the jury here rose and again objected. e others wi s hi ng it to go on again, there was another Ilisturba nce ; Mr. Wakley, jun., who sat behind Mr. -Ballantine, calling Mr. Ballantine a ruffian to pursue such a course, and again repeated the assertion. ;Alr. Bodkin reprehended Mr. Wakley, jun., for such I'.'odu, and s a id th at Mr. Ballantine could not feel Llinpl!';el (Cctf as acting freely wh en suc h l anguage was used to ..r. heers.) Wakley, jun., apologised. ' ll r- Ball an ti ne them examined Mr. W a kl ey a t some len gth, an d b e most strenuously denied that he had th ron any impdiment in the way of olng he in- quest more than e he should with any other di er case, t as he did not think it advisable to hold inquests in all cases 'here per sons h ad died from operations, as it would in TVThundreds of c ases d eter surgeons from operating, and V w ould rathe r l e t peop l e per i s h t h an take the risk. was the only case where an inquest had been held - I ) " a patient who died from an operation of lithotomy. 4 , William am college porter ; was present at e operation, and during a part of the operation held re le g of the child Recollected the syringe being asked c ( h )r i ' ld and he filled Mr. Thomas Wa . kley examined the with his finger, but did not see Iran bold any knife.

In time of action a concentrated fire can be made true to a second of time, by the word " fire" being given fore and aft the ship on either or each deck at the same moment. Either in time of action or during a gale of wind, every order can be distinctly heard below and aloft at the same moment. Mr. Bonney was here yesterday, for the purpose of consulting with Commander Alexander Little as to wl.at particular parts of this,ship the tubes are to be conveyed, so as to give the greatest facilities of communLatiug for geueral service between decks, engine rooms, Sze. The Hornet, 16, screw steam-sloop, Commander Frederick A. Campbell, arrived at the Nore, yesterday, from Woolwich, at 10.31 a.m,, for the Baltic. She is first to proceed to Portsmouth for her final orders. A number of the friends and relatives of officers and men serving in the Baltic have endea voured to send out letters and parcels in her from here, but on application t o th e P ost -office authorities here, they have been informed, " There aro no orders sent to that department to forward any mail or parcels through this post-office by her," much to the disappointment of some hundreds of persons here. The Vulture, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Captain Frederick H. H. Glasse.—The crew of this ship, with her officers, are busily engaged receiving her stores, provisions, &c. It will be Friday next before she will be ready to leave here. She was put out of the fitting basin yesterday, and her compasses are to be adjusted by swinging ship immediately after she has completed her coaling. The Lizard, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant Thomas B. Christopher.—The first-class boy, Edward Cham bers, who received severe injuries by the falling of the top end of the mainmast of this vessel when alongside the Algiers, off Calais, on Saturday last, died shortly after from the injury, his skull being severely fractured and one leg being broken at the knee' with a comp oun d f rac t ure of the same leg. Mr. Charles Christopher, an architect, whose injuries caused almost immediate death, was visiting his brother, the com mander, to witness the embarkation of the French troops. It appears, upon evidence taken before Mr. James Lewis, coroner for the waters of the Medway, within the jurisdiction of the city of Rochester, that the Lizard had been ordered to convey fresh provisions to the Algiers from the commodore's ship Hannibal; and on ranging up along side the Algiers, the maintopmast (or rather a part of the mainmast, the Lizard being rigged with polacco mast, form ing lower masts and topmasts in one stick), fouled with the lower yard arm of the Algiers, and carried the mast away just above the rigging. The lower part of the stick forming the topmast was strongly hooped with iron bands, which considerably added to the weight thereof. This came down upon deck on the starboard side, just between the after com panion and the skylight where Mr. Christopher and the boy were standing. Both were knocked down on the deck and the mast laid on them. The jury returned a verdict of acci dental death in both cases. The boy Chambers was buried in Trinity churchyard by the Waterloo, yesterday, and the body of Mr. Christopher has been conveyed to London for inter ment there by his friends. The Lizard has received orders to prepare again imme diately for sea. The Lizard is rigged yacht fashion, polacco rigged, her lower masts and topmasts being in one length, g o w h i n i c g h o the general opinion, h a d s h e b een fitted with regula r s hifti ng a I p o i n •e g v s e i n d t e s s h i p time e o l i f r e n r e e s (I to h m e s r striking k i p u r g o v t t p i o m n a s s . t s I w t h e i n s topmasts, they could have been struck previous to her going alongside the Algiers, which might in all moral reasoning have prevented the loss of two lives—the one having de prived appealed pro mising on theth r s e e eservice, evidence w a family of a pa ren t, the other a loss of a fine the al w main-yardalways o valuable, f the Algiers be en t opped the right way, or the b races let go, the accident co u ld not have happene d .

The Long Boat (sailing tender to the Formidable), Reuben Harvey, master, arrived hero yestesday from Calais, at eight p. m., having gone over there to put machinery on board the Hannibal ; but in consequence of a cross sea running too high' to go alo ngs id e, the Long Boat ran for Calais harbour, and put the machinery on bOard the Echo steam-vessel for the purpose of being shipped on board the Hannibal at the time the Long Boat left Calais. On Saturday evening the Hannibal was pre paling to get under weigh with the squadron of line-of-battle ships, Mr. Harvey reports that the Emperor only visited the commodore's ship, the Hannibal, and that for only a very short time. 3cdford and Bletchley....

Lord John Russell had summoned his fiends and the general supporters of the Government to meet Mm in the official atmosphere of Whitehall to hold a kind of council of war upon ministerial difficulties, intentions, and prospects. There was a large as sem bl age o f M .P. ' s, each tint of liberalism being represented, from the veteran radicalism of Mr. Hume to the most aristocratic tinge of family Whiggery. The occa sion was important, and the subject really at issue still more so. The meaning of the meeting was that the Coalition is in danger of a split up, their chief rock ahead being, of course, the conduct of the war. It was quite natural that great in terest should be excited in the minds of those present respect ing what might, what would, and what ought to be said. It was known that the Tories were to muster strongly in the evening to make the vote for the expenses of the new War Ministry a peg on which to hang want-of-confidence: speeches, embodying various damaging criticisms on what has hitherto been done, or been neglected, by the Aberdeen Cabinet. All these nuclei of difficulty, that float about in political waters to clog and hamper ministerial arrangements, Were evi dently present amongst those who yesterday assembled in Downing-street. Why had not Lord Palmerston been appointed to the post of Minister of War ? Was it Court or Cabinet influence, or was it the Duke of Newcastle's amour propre, that has stood in the way of so natural an arrangement ? Why was Sir George Grey, a cold and fish-blooded family Whig, brought back again to office I Why were to be hampered with an Austrian alliance, when the war could be so far more simple and easy in its conduct, and so far more sure and honourable in its conclusion without Metternich's dangerous help ? Why were the troops kept for months in a 'state of inaction, and tho fleets kept floating in idleness ? Would Lord John Russell open his heart and explain any of these things I Would he go forward in obedience to the popular voice and will, and so secure new esteem and popularity, or would he slide back into his new Coalition shell and lose a further portion of the goodwill which the nation bears him for past services in the popular cause ? Such might well be some of the many suppo sitions of the company who assembled in Downing-street. Lord John Russell soon put all surmises to rest by his speech —prepared for the occasion, and based ou two main proposi tions—first, that all present should vote at once, as a matter of course, the estimate for War Minister, because, secondly, the Cabinet would shortly want more money for carrying on the war, and that the real question of confidence oral° confi dence in the Coalition should be taken next week, when such money vote should be presented to the House of Commons. In other words, the matter stood thus--" Put off the in tended discussion and trial of party strength this evening, be cause in a few days we shall have a little account' for settle ment. When we present it, if you vote the money, you will sanction our proceedings and policy ; if you do not, such vote will of course be a vote of want of confidence in the Cabinet as at present constituted." This was a very dexterous way of putting the case to a mixed company such as that which yes terday assembled at the call of the Minister. In the first place, it tided over the difficulty of the hour. It beat at once the Tory muster of last night. It put off the evil day for a week at all events, and then proposed the trial of party strength upon the broader issue, whether or not the House of Commons will vote money to the Coalition to carry on the war in their own way, or whether by refusing the money they will risk the stoppage of the war altogether at a moment when delays are fraught with a thousand evils. Mr. Vernon Smith might cavil, Mr. Horsman denounce, but Lord John was dexterous, and Mr. Sidney Herbert polite, whilst Lord Palmerston's silence was, perhaps, more eloquent than his voice could have been. Of the hundred and seventy-nine gentlemen present, the bulk were evidently convinced at once that the only thing to be done was to follow the leader who had called them together, and if an independent leader like Lord Dudley Stuart felt bound to interrogate, or a plain spoken Reformer like the member for Montrose raised his voice in exhortation or in criticism, or as a peace-maker, their objections were the more readily smoothed away by the clear understanding that the leader of the House of Commons would be no party to the conclusion of an armistice, and Vienna. On the contrary, there never has been a moment since the commencement of this war at which the belligerent Powers were resolved and prepared to prosecute their eutor prise with greater activity. Tho delays which are inseparable from the opening of a campaign, from the extreme difficulty of obtaining the means of transport, especially in a barbarous country, are at last overcome. The Russian defences at the Salina mouth of the Danube are reported to have been at tacked and destroyed by five British and French steamers. A considerable detachment of French troops start for the Baltic ; while the main expeditionary army, under Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan, must have reached the Danube in time to support the last energetic and brilliant operations of Omer Pasha. To talk of negotiations—and especially of negotiations on so flimsy and unsatisfactory a basis as the last communication from St. Petersburg —at the moment when the belligerent Powers are just beginning to reap some of the advantages which they have a right to anticipate from the vast sacrifices and their long forbearance, is an ab surdity of which no man in Europe, except the King of Prussia, can be guilty. The Kiug of Prussia himself must be aware that he has lost all credit and influence with the Western Powers and with Europe, and his Envoy in London, wh o wen t t h rough the formality of pre senting his credentials to her Majesty yesterday would give no sanction to anything other than a vigorous pro secution of the war until a peace could be secured upon a broad solid, and honourable basis. The effect of explanations such as these—given as they were with official authority, and ut tered in the atmosphere of Whitehall—may bo easily imagined. " Things went off satisfactorily," and although reporters were not admitted to record verbatim, the two hours' talk, and every M.P.'s mouth was sealed by a promise not to communi• sate anything that transpired to the newspapers, the public have here an ample summary of the Downing-street confer ence. The result was seen speedily enough when the House of Commons opened for business. No places were taken. There were no full benches—no preparations for a field night. Lord J. Russell was permitted to state what he had publicly to declare about the War Ministry without serious challenge or debate, and in place of a fierce passage of arms between Tory Opposition and Coalition Ministers a comparatively empty House subsided into a monotonous discussion about the fa vourite electioneering sin of Bribery, The War Debate is postponed till next week, and till then the Ministry have a respite. If the required Vote of Credit is given, we may ex pect Parliament to rise early in August, but that rising will, wo trust, be merely an adjournment, and not a lengthened pro rogation. If all the money that may be asked for is not grant ed by the House of Commons, Parliament cannot be prorogued in the usual way to February, since the Chancellor of the Exchequer has not cash enough to last him for six months. It rests, therefore, with Parliament to de c id e h ow l ong th ey will leave the Aberdeen Cabinet in full possession of the strings by which the war is managed---how long they will permit the Coalition to manage the war iu secret and beyond the reach of Parliamentary check. War cannot be waged without money. If money for six months' war is granted— Lord Aberdeen will have his will unchecked for half a year— time long enough for winning or losing everything. If " something on account " only is given, the House of Com mons may again have a chance of expressing an opinion upon the subject before it be too late. What will they do ?—Daily News. The Spiteful, fitting at Woolwich, has been commissioned by Commander Kyuaston, and is to be brought forward im mediately for active service. The Tartarus paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant R. H.

FATAL, ACCIDENT AT THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—Yes terday Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at the Westminster Hospital, relative to the death of William Ingram, aged 53, who lost his life through falling from the roof of the House of Lords on Wednesday last. The deceased was, it appeared, in the eniploy of Messrs. Easton and AMOR, and in consequence of a large tank containing 1,660 gallons, which this firm had recently erected on the roof of the House of Lords, having commenced leaking, it was necessary to raise a shoot upon the roof in order to carry the water off from the building. In order to do this deceased was, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon of the day in question, engaged with two others named Edwards and Collins. Having succeeded in raising the shoot by means of a hand line, deceased ascended to the top, and stood vpon the wall (about 18 inches wide) for the pur pose of pulling it (the shoot) nearer to the required spot, and had hold of one end for that purpose, when from the wet weather his hands slipped, he stumbled, and fell from thence to the ground, a depth of 56 feet, striking violently against a scaffold and a girder in his descent. He was immediately conveyed to the above hospital, where it was found that his right arm was dreadfully fractured both above and below the elbow, and the right thigh also severely fractured. The com bined effects ofthe injuries and the shock resulted in the poor fellow's death on Friday mornin g . This frightful catastrophe has unhappily rendered the poor widow completely deranged. Verdict, " Accidental death."

TUE FLAG APPOINTMENTS, &C. As was stated yesterday, the death of Rear-Admiral Hen derson, C. 8., promoted no less than ten captains to flag rank, on the active, retired, and reserved half-pay lists. By these p romo ti ons a good-service pension, the appoint ment of a naval aide-de-camp to the Queen, and the com mand of the screw - ship Nile are relinquished ' . The vacant g oo d- service pension, we believe, has been be stowed up on C aptain Lushington (1819), now in command of the Albi on, 80, in the Black Sea fleet. This selection i s an act of justice towards a senior captai n of good serv i ce in his present rank, and of distinguished service in an i nferior grade, who has been passed over several times i n f avour of juniors. Captain Lushington, as a commander, distinguished himself in command of the 'Etna, bomb, at the taking of Morea Castle. As a captain he commanded the Retribution, steam-frigate, and the Vengeance, 84. He was then appointed superintendent of the Indian navy, which post, however, he resigned in order to continue his service in the Royal navy, and has held the command of the Albion since July, 1852. There are only three officers senior to Captain Lushington on the list that can be said to have any claims to the good-service pension. Commodore Henry 13 yam Martin, C. 8., having attained his rank of rear-ad m i ral, the command of the Nilo, 90 gun screw ship, in th e B a l t i c, has been given to Captain George Rodney Mundy (1837) .

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) The house met at five o'clock. OCCUPATION OF THE DANUBIAN PRINCI PALITIES BY AUSTRIA. The Earl of MALMESBURY postponed his motion for copies of the correspondence between the English Government and the Court of Vienna on the occupation of the Danubian provinces by the Austrian army, from Tuesday until a future day. MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. The house went into committee upon this bill. Several clauses having been agreed to, and others postponed, Lord WALSINGHAM proposed the omission of clause 178, which enabled the commissioners for the re duction of the national debt to establish savings banks in the principal ports of the kingdom for the saving of sailors. He objected to the clause on the ground that savings banks already existed in those places, and be cause it established a principle which had here re peatedly introduced into the Savings Batik Bill, and as frequently rejected, v:z , giving the commissioners power to appoint their own treasurer. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY saisl the object of the clause was to pravide banks where sailors could int mecliatly deposit their money on landing, and to guard them against those temptations which too frequently led to their dissipation of their whole wages. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 181, Lord CAMPBELL intimated that it was his ititen tention to take the opinion of the house upon this clause. It had been the law not only of this country but of every other nation in the world, that if a ship and her cargo were lost by the perils of the sea, the crew should not be entitled to their wages. The present clause would introduce a principle entirely sub versive of that universal law, and make our law different to that of all other countries. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY did not think the clause would effect so sweeping a change of the existing law al had been mentioned. He defended the clause, on the groUnd of justice to the sailor. It would be a great hardship, in ,the event of a sailor being wrecked on returning home after a voyage of two or three years, to deprive him of hi s wages f or t h e w h o l e o f that period. So strongly had this been felt that most liberal and fair minded shipowers never refused to pay wages when a vessel was lost. After a few words from several noble lords, the house divided on the question, that the clause be retained, when there appeared— Contents Non -contents .. Majority —5l The clause was therefore agreed to, as were also clauses up to 218 inclusive. On clause 219, providing for the survey of provisions and water, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he had an amendment to propose in this clause. The clause enabled a seaman to complain to certain officers, who were men tioned, in the event of his having ground of complaint on the subject of the quantity or quality of the provi sions or water. Now he (the Earl of Ellenborough) wished to extend that power, so as to enable a seaman to complain if he thought the ship was in an unseaworthy state; and also to provide that the officer to whom such a complaint was made should be permitted to order the ship to be surveyed if he believed there were reasonable grounds for supposing that the complaint was well founded, but not otherwise. He thought there could be no objec tion to this amendment, which was not only necessary for the safety of the crew's lives, but to produce content ment among them. He understood that last year a num ber of seamen were punished for refusing to embark in ships, although their only ground of refusal was that the ships were In an unfit condition for going to sea. The noble earl concluded by moving his amendment accord ingly, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that no sea man was compelled to go on a voyage in a vessel that be believed to be unseaworthy, and he did not think this amendment necessary. It would besides cause great inconvenienc e and expense to the owners, if a vessel with a cargo on board was to be ordered at an timesto be unlo a d e d w i th the view of being surveyed. Y After a few words from the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH and the Earl of HARDWICK; the amendment was agreed to, and the clause, together with clauses up to 239 In- elusive, was ordered to stand part of the bill. The remaining clauses and the various schedules were then agreed to, and the bill was reported to the house. PUBLIC REVENUE AND CONSOLIDATED CHARGES BILL. Earl GRANVILLE moved the third reading of the Public Revenue and Consolidated Fund Charges Bill, the objects of which he described as being twofold : one was to bring into the Exchequer the gross revenue, leaving the expenses of its collection to be defrayed by the votes in Parliament ; and the other was to remove from the Consolidated Fund certain salaries with which it has been hitherto charged, and to place them on the votes of supply. Lord MONTEAGLE moved that the bill be referred to a select committee. The object of the bill was to give Government a control over certain charges which had been purposely removed front it upon the grounds of political expediency. The transfer of a salary from the Consolidated Fund to the votes of supply subjected the recipient to the caprice of either the Minister or the House of Commons. By the operation of the bill, the salaries of revising barristers would be placed under the control of the House of Commons, which wee a return to the system abolished by Sir R. Peel in 1343. The noble lord then went on to argue against the impolicy as well as the injustice of placing the salaries of the clerk of the patent entirely dependent on an annual vote, and he urged that the increased number of miscellaneous votes, which this bill went to swell, would'almost double the time now appropriated to financial purposes, and to that extent lessen the time that could be applied to legis lative purposes. Designating the bill as anomalous in character and unjust in principle, he prayed the house to refer it to a select committee, in order that it might be more fully considered. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, who en tirely coincided with the reasoning of his noble friend Lord Monteagle. - The Duke of ARGYLE said that the whole argument of the noble lord was founded upon the supposition that it was the rule to charge salaries upon the Consolidated Fund, and that it was the exception to vote them, whereas the contrary was the fact. Having instanced the fact that the Board of Health and the Poor-law Board, as well as the Insolvent Commissioners, held their offices dependent upon an annual vote, he main tained that the schedule of the bill was quite in the or dinary course. The reference to a select committee was therefore unnecessary, and he deprecated the adoption of such a proceeding as an unusual interference with the ordinary course of business. The Earl of DERBY said that the intention of the Government of which he had been a member was to bring under the control of the House of Commons, not the mere net receipts of the customs and excise and other sources of revenue, but to bring under its control the gross amount of that revenue, and to let the house vote the annual cost of collecting it. If the bill had only gone thus far, lie would have supported it, but he objected to placing under the control of the House of Com:nons judi cial or quasi judicial offices. Lord CAMPBELL read a letter from Mr. Jardine, setting forth the claims of himself and his colleagues to be exempted from an annual discussion on their conduct in the House of Commons. Errl GRANVILLE, yielding to a strong expression of opinion in the house, consented that the bill should be referred to a select committee, upon the understanding that the bill was not to be thrown over. The motion to refer the bill having been agreed to, the other orders of the day were disposed, and the house ad journed. 56 5 HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.) The SPICAKRIt took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were ordered to be considered and read a third time :•—Great North of Scotland Railway, Methwold Drainage, and South Devon and Tavistock Railway Bill. The Earl of Eglinton's Estate Bill and Stainforth's Estate Bill were read a second time. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MARRIED WOMEN, Mr. PHINN asked the Solicitor-General whether the attention of Government had been directed,to seri• ous difficulties which had arisen from supposed errors in taking the acknowledgment of married women under - e Fines and Recoveries Act. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said a bill f or , this purpose bad been laid upon the table of the Rouse o f Lords by the Lord Chancellor three or four da7s ago ; it stood for a second reading this evening, and Would n doubt come down in a short time to this hou se , ° THE WAR SUPPLIES. Lord J. RUSSELL on moving that the speaker leave the chair for the purpose of going into c ommittee of sup ply, gave notice that some day next Week he, should move a committee of the whole house for the purpose of asking for a vote of credit to enable the Government to ca rry on the war. He could not state now what the amount of the credit would be, but an estimate of it should be laid on the table before Thursday. - Mr. WALPOLE wished to know whether a oininit tee of ways and means would be also moved with a view of furnishing the means for raising this credit. Lord J. RUSSELL replied in the negative. CORE HARBOUR. • Mr. MA.GIJIRE called the attention of the Govern ment to the necessity of providing a floating hospital for Cork harbour. The hon. gentleman entered into a variety of details of emigrant ships being driven into Cork harbour, the passengers of which were suffering from cholera and fever, and a vast number of deaths occurred, owing to the want of a floating hospital to re ceive the sick and infected passengers. Sir J. YOUNG said the people who ought to pay for this floating hospital were the people of Cork, who de rived such important advantages from the visits of foreign vessels trading to that port. In similar cases which occurred at Belfast, the people of that town had transferred the infected to hospitals on shore, and thereby prevented the spread of the disease, and he thought the people of Cork ought to do the same Colonel DUNNE said the answ er o f th e Secretary f o r n , Ireland w as th e mos t ex t raor di nary he ever hear d, he maintain e d th a t i n suc h cases the cost oug h tfall g majority to on the general funds of th e country, as of the sick p erso ns driven int o Corkha a rb l o a u r r to England and Scotland, an d not to Cork. Mr. J.

At a time like this, when an outbreak of cholera was imminent, if it had not already occurred, were they to be told that at such a port as Cork, where emigrant ships infected with that fatal disease, were con tinually being driven in ; provision to prevent its spread ing must be made by the people of Cork themselves, when it was so eminently the duty of the Government. Mr. LUCAS expressed surprise that no other mem ber of the Government, except the Secretary for Ireland, had risen to state in whose department this subject lay. The answer given was totally beside the question ; the City of Cork benefitted nothing by those emigrant ships, and it appeared that, as in the case of Belfast, no relief cniild be provided by local means for those calamities, except by breaking the law. (Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY" admitted it was a subject of great im portance to provide for such distressing cases, but it was believed that a floating hospital was not the best for per sons attacked with cholera or fever. Some accommo dation ought to.be established on shore, and he believed n hulk would not answer the purpose. He trusted something tni , rlit be done on this important subject. Mr. MAGUIRE said if the Government gave any 1 s would • , . n o t O I li ' I, i ' l e , g t !r u t a ? y ey m t i i6lo t n il t - i e je the subi e m a a t. tte r up he should Lord - J. RUSSELL said the matter should be in quired into, but he could give no specific promise on the question. Mr. MAGUIRE said, in that case he should onu a future day bring on his motion. The subject then dropped. THE ENCLOSURE COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE. Mr. AGLIONBY drew attention to the inexpediency of removing this office and its valuable contents from its present site in Whitehall-gardens, to make room for the new Minister for War. - Mr. WILSON said it was not till it was found im possible to procures fitting site fertile new department of the Minister for War, that the Government had de termined tin 'removing the Enclosure Commissioners' Offic e to St. James's-square, as it was desirable to have the office of the War Minister near Downing street. COUNT PAHLEN. Mr. I. BUTT said he had a notice on the paper, but as he understood that the house was anxious to go into committee of supply, and as lie had been given to un derstand that if he did not press his motion now he should have an opportunitrof bringing it on afterwards, Under those circumstances he felt it would not be right of him to occupy at present the time of the house. (Hear, hear.) MINISTER OF WAR. The house having gone into committee of supply, Lord J. RUSSELL said—Mr. Speaker, I am about to 3 p 1 l ace st il t o a n r t c h h e , 1 1, Lb l s e , t t h o e d e e s f t r i a m y a t t h e e fo e r x pe th n e se p g rese of nl e year secre endi tary ng of State for the War Department; and in doing so I beg to recall to the attention of the house what has passed on previous evenings upon this subject. I think it was my hon. friend the member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) who, early in the session, stated his opinion —repeatedly ex pressed before —that the military departments in this country ought to be brought together, and especially that the Secretary of State for the War Department had not sufficient control over these military departments. A right hon, gentleman whom I see opposite (Sit' J. Pakington), and who has been Secretary of State for" the Colonies, added his opinfon that the , Secretarfof State for the Colonies, although he was nominally Secretary of State for War, had not the means in his department to carry into effect those resolutions which he might think nesse. nary for the public service. At a later period the hon. member for Surrey asked me a question in reference to this subject, and certainly received a very general assent from the house when he said that he'hopecl there would be a Minister of War. In answer to him, I stated that tie subject was under the consideration of the Government. A little later I said that the Government had determined that the departments of Secretary of State for War and Colonies should be divided, and that further arrangements were in contemplation. I have now to give a general outline of the changes that are in contemplation. In the first place„ I beg to remind the house that two questions come under consideration together, but are of a very different character. The one is, whether in time of war it is desirable to keep united the offices of Secretary for War and for the Colonies ; and the other is whether, with a view to public convenience in the arrangements of the business of the departments, it is de sirable to make changes with regard to the military de partments, and to simplify and consolidate the business which they have to transact. .With reference to the first question, the house is aware that during the late war the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies could devote his time and attention to the business of the war—to the fitting out of expeditions and the other military arrange ments—the colonial business at that time occupying only a comparatively, small portion of his time. Since the peace, and especially during the last twenty years, the business of the Colonial Secretary has very greatly in creased. In almost every colony —even in some of the mi litary colonies—there have been discussions with revolt to arrangements for the control of the public expenditure, and many questions, some of the highest importance, have I arisen in o ur severa l co l on i es. It, therefore, appeared to. the Government that, considerin g that question alone, it Iwas not desirable to keep these offices united, and that altlicti g h it was physically possible for ft person of great decision, of great hashits of business, and of health which should ba uninterrupted, to go through the business of the two departments, yet that it was desirable to separate them for the sake of the efficient discharge of the duties of each. The questions that would come before a minister in each department might be of the utmost importance. The fitting out of an expedition, the troops that are to corn pose it, the points to which it is to be directed, the means that are to be employed, are all subjects involving ques tions that would require the sole and undivided attention of a man of the greatest practice in public business. On the other hand, although it might happen that the consideration of colonial questions might often be postponed, still from time to time there do arise questions that cannot be deferred consistently with the order and with the setisfaction of the colonies, and which require, both as to their principle and details, the undivided attention of the Secretary of State. On these grounds, therefore, seeing the great war in which we are engaged, the Government thought that these depart ments should be divided. With reference to the other question—which, as I said, is of a totally different nature —it is one that has from time to time occupied the atten tion of former Governments. It was not long after Earl Grey's Government was formed that the Duke of Rich. mond represented to Lord Grey that it was very desirable to inquire whether the military departments might not be consolidated with advantage to the conduct of public busi ness. An inquiry was made into that subject by a com mission consisting, besides the Duke of Richmond, of the hon. member for Coventry (Mr. Ellice), and of Sir James Kemp. There was also employed, as secretary to the com mission, a man of considerable ability, Mr. John Biwa, once Commissary-General iu the Peninsula. But although the Duke of Richmond arrived at conclusions in which I was ready 'to concur, the Government did not think fit to adopt them, in consequence of the practical difficulty of putting them in force. At a later period the present Earl Grey, when Secretary at War, assisted by some of his colleagues, made very extensive inquiries, an d p ro p ose d a diff eren t scheme of arrangements. To that scheme of arrangements, which consisted chiefly in placing the Secretary-at-War in the position, of t a b o s izf r i e t ‘ a v r i y t with the f s ta f t u e, n c t t L i c o r n e s ,na.enrfel sometlie proper nbc. attributes, there were also other practical objections of _ the Duke of Well i ngton. b That objec tions, arising from the nature of the dep a a m rt o u s ie t n fo t r , ni a b n l d e nature which were stated by plan was nut xdoptA, and Ido not knowthatauy an sequent Government has proposed any inquiry into the although from time to time, up ;:u tee present d ay, sev e r a l changes haveb een un der consideration, no great or or gan i c subject. And the depart has appeared to the o . that, _ military r e v i ic i l'e s n ' h iti o ' I,ia,nii,tni o g o o f v l e s r ' n those departments change has been a c dop ve te; m l. ine l n n tt e l o ia n t si t fl b e e r c i b ng ier th in is co s n u v b a je n c i t e , nee it several heads, there is no su init:rieeannitteisv heelai,s bein gv: h, t i gene rally, I have stated on former occasions that I do not think it any fault that separate official persons should have separate ditties, although they may belong generally to one department. As on building this house, for instance, it. would be absurd to endeavour to consolidate and join the departments of the mason, the carpenter, and the brick layer, but it would haequally absurd to liaVe three or four tt g hhh e i see n r e vse t ei • f a evo l w: c : o tli n hs s e, construction i o h n e itoLf whothe building.

One of the departments which it is most obvious should be placed under a Minister of War is the commissariat, which is now a department of the Treasury. *There are reasons for that arrangement, connected not so much with the distribution, of provisions and supplies for the army, as with the financial operations which the Treasury has to perform in our ' different colonies. Now, although the Treasury should have the general superintendence of the financial concerns of the public, there does not seem any convenience, bust the contrary, in an officer of the Treasury having the regulation. of the pay and distribution of ra tions to the troops. That is business which does not pro perly belong to a department which has the general super- Vision and 'control of the financies of the country ; it is an executive function of itself, and therefore should bell rather to an executive minister, such as a Secretary of S ni t! than to the department. of the Treasury . The Govesrntated se therefore, are of opinion that, besides what b direction mi nister Secretary of State for War should take to the general direction of the operations of t l he h t a i e r t to other of the commissariat department: -With re h have sP to be con sidered; questions, there are many changes w 13.

You find a man of great military distinction —Sir George Murray, or Sir James Kemp, or the Marquis of Anglesey—appointed to fill the office, who has won great honours in the field, and who, therefore, is placed at the :head of the Ordnance de partment. But it is not, satisfactory that,, upon every occasion, the Government should look to that officer for the management of all the civil departments placed under his care,.
