In the House of Leeds. on Tuesday, the Earl of
Camperdown asked for Information an to the numher
of men of the Reserves who had loot their civil
employment. Lori Bury sold this could not he
known until all the men had returned to their own
dietelete ; hot be hotted that employers of labour
would give consideration to the claims of these men,
a hope which was echoed by the Dube of Camlorides,
who spoke in laudatory terms of the eraldierlike
armeitranoe and general efficiency of the Army and
Militia Reeerve.
In the Rouse of Commons, the Chancellor of the
P.:chimney merle his roatement with regard to the
Sopplementary Estimates. In April he egtimabol

and on this 'iceman' the Government would probably
have to ask for £4OO 000 more, whiola would raise the

He estimated that the ordinery exoess of income over

and an he had no fear of the revenue declining, the
other half would he cleared off next year. He did not

--Mr. Glarittone hoped the Chancellor', statement

Parliamentary control. The Chancellor ought to have
given the maximom of the Supplementary Fatimatim
originally, instead of saying they might be a million
and a half; and as to the remark about spreading the
extra expenditure over two or three years, it would
have been much better to have mil at once that there

and that it would he an addition to the debt. —The
Chancellor of the Exchequer repeated his confidence in

Liberal benches, descended the gangway, and, turning

out of the House. Soon sifter Mr. O'Leary, who had
followed the Maine to the lobby, returned, and stated
that the hon. and gallant member bad for SOON hours
been labouring under personal excitement to such a
degree as to be hardly reap insible for his conduct, and
subsequently Mr. P. Smyth stated that he too had
seen the Major. who had assured him that he meant
no dierespect to either the House or the Chair. Major
Nolan then next endeavoured to take the ding out of

Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, and the Ho.se
