ties, expressed his vanities, to receive msctimil sec
gestion. from the magistracy for the purpose of pew,
venting the wearing of sheath or dagger knives, in our
sequence of which so many murders are oonamithed,
especially by sailors. The subject is an important on.,
and worthy of more attention than it has hitherto no
edged. In Liverpool the one of the knife is very coo.-
won, and but too frequently the result is fatal. Tbe
Army Estimate. next came under discuasion, Mr. N.
Beanie condemning the reductions u inexpedient in thei

on both sides of the House. Mr. listalield &crud,
next recounted the wrongs which had been inflicted on
him by naval officials during his election for Devon-

his objurgation. had the effect of provoking • very us.
Parliamentary expression from Lord Clarence Paget,
who said "he would sooner take the word of Sir
Baldwin Walker than the oath of Mr &errand." This
language gave rise, of course, to an excited scene, and
Lord clarence subeequently qualified it by ruing that
"all he intended to do was to express, in the et
ten. allowable, his abhorrence of the scan=
attacks upon a most honourable officer." Subsequently
the Hoe.° went into Committee of Supply, and the
