FRIDAY.

In reply to ME. KINNAIED,
General PEEL stated that it was intended to bans
medals to commemorate the capture of Delhi.
On the motion that the House at its rising do adjourit
until Monday,
Mr. FAGAN called attention to the army regulation
made by the Governor-General in India in Council in
1855, which requires that the children of soldiers over
four years of age should be sent to the regimental
schools to entitle such soldiers to draw for each child
subsistence money, and asked whether any alteration
of that regulation had been made, so as to allow the
Homan Catholic .soldiers serving in India to ha: their
Children educate& in schools of their own faith
the forfeiture of their subsistence money; and, not,
whether it is the intention of the Government to afford
such relief to their consciences.

Mr. BAILLIE said the regulation referred to was
identically the same, word for word, as that for the
army at home, and he was not aware of any alteration
in the regulation, which exempted Roman Catholics
children from attendance at the schools except for
secular instruction.

Mr. BAGWELL, in bringing before the House, pur-
suant to notice, "the subject of certain parties pro-
fessing to obtain commissions in the army without pur-
chase or examination, by raising men for Her Majesty's
service," gave the details connected with a transaction
of this kind, in which Messrs. Armstrong (whose letter
appeared in the Times of that morning) and a Captain
Hunt were agents. He thought that some steps should
be taken by the Horse Guards to put • stop to such
transactions.

Colonel KNOX said he knew that this scandalous
system existed, which was ruining the servioe, and he
hoped that strong measures would be taken to put it
down.

After a few words from General CODRINGTON,
General PEEL explained the origin of the system of
giving commissions for raising a certain number of men,
without examination, which was founded upon an ex.
oeptioual principle, but it was laid perfectly open to the
public, and such commissions had no money vain.;
they could not be sold. The authorities of the Horse
Guards had no cognizance of such transactions as that
referred to.

Lord BUSY and Lord GODERICH made a few remarks
and the subject dropped.
Mr. Ds VERE inquired the intentions of the Govern-
ment in relation to the Incumbered Estates Court; and,
especially, whether it was intended to make permanent
the system for sale of incumbered estates, and to
extend the benefit of that system to unincumberei
estates.
_

The O'Dorroonoe asked whether the statements
alleging that mobs paraded the public streets of the city
of Dublin on Saturday last, in some instances molesting
peaceable inhabitants, forming party processions, and
committing other outrages, were true, and whether mea-
sures had been adopted for the punishment of such,
offenders, and for the repression of similar offences.
Lord Nees stated, in reply to Mr. De Vera, that the
subject of the Incumbered Estates Court was under the
consideration of the Government, and that the Atter-
ney•General for Ireland would be prepared, after Easter,
to state what were their intentions. In answer to the
inquiry of the O'Donoghue, he said a riotous assemblage
had taken place on Saturday, but the riot was not at
all of a serious character. Active measures had been
taken to preserve the peace of Dublin, and he might
say that no further disturbance was likely to take place.
Some conversation ensued upon the subject of the
Incumbered Estates Court, and upon the expediency of
extending the principle of giving a Parliamentary title
to unincumbered estates in both countries, in which
Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD, MT. VANCE, Mr. WALPOLE, and
Mr. ELLICE participated, and the motion for adjourn-
ment was agreed to.
The Consolidated Fund Bills passed through com-
mittee.

-----
The House then went into committee upon the Cus-
toms Acts, when resolutions repealing and altering the
import duties upon certain articles were agreed to.
The Marine Mutiny Bill, the Militia Act Continuance
Bill, and the Commons Enclosure Bill were read a third
time and passed.
The General Board of Health (Skipton, tic.) Bill,
and the Cambridge University Matriculation and
Degrees Bill, passed through committee.
Mr. BAXTER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
abolish the Ministers' Money or Annuity Tar levied
within the city of Edinburgh, pariah of Canongate, and
burgh of Montrose, as vacancies occur among the pre-
sent Ministers, and to make provision for their IMO
ORBBOIII.

After a few words from the LORD ADVOCATE, leave
was given.
The House adjourned, at 20 minutes after 6 o'clock,
until Monday.

THE PRINCE OF WALES AITD THE HUNTING FIELD.
—The rumour as to the Prince of Wales becoming an
owner of thorough-bred horse is true, though the
horses are not destined either for post or paddock ser-
vice, but are intended for the hunting field.
THE PROPOSED LONDON TRANWAY.—Deputations
were received a few days ago by Lord John Manners, at
the Home-office, in reference to the proposed tramway
through a portion of the streets of London. On Thurs-
day Mr. Coates, Parliamentary agent, explained that
the proposition of the promoters of the street tramway
was to lay a line from Notting-hill gate to the Bank by
Bayswater, and thus to relieve Cheapside, Holborn, and
Fleet-street. Several gentlemen spoke in support of the
Bill now before Parliament for sanctioning the proposed
tramway. The deputation which was received by Lord
John Manners stated various objections to the Bill.
Lord John Manners gave an answer to both deputations,
to the effect that the subject should receive his best
consideration, and that he should be guided by the argu-
ments used on the proposal for the second reading of the
Bill.

Dr. Looocx's PULIIONIC Wsreas.—Extract of • letter from
Mr. J. Freud, Chemist, Dorchester. " Gentlemen,—Having
just received the following, I beg to hand it to you, as. further
proof of the excellence of Dr. Loeock's Pulmonic Wafers,
which are generally spoken of in this neighbourhood in terms
of the highest commendation. A gentleman called on me
this afternoon, and expressed himself with much pleasure of
the decided benefit, relation of his ha received from the
Wafers. She had been for some years the subject of a most
distressing cough. The remedies usually employed by the pro-
fession had not succeeded in affording relief; other remedies
were resorted to, respecting which the daily press tell wondrous
tales Still only occasional and temporary ease wee obtained;
but on trying your preparation, Dr. Lococlea Wafers, benefit
was mimosa instantly derived, and by a little steady persever-
ance, the cough, which was before distressingly troublesome,
is now perfectly cured. I 11.111, Gentlemen, J 131131 novo." To
aingera and public speaker, they are invaluable for dealing sad
strengthening the voice. They have a most pleamant taste.
