was no question before the house.
Mr. F. PEEL said he would not read the letter which he
wee about to read. He wished to state, however, that the
government having been asked by an hon. member opposite,
on a previous occasion, whether they intended to take ad-
vantage of the offer made by the writer of the letter in the
Teases, a letter from the war department was addressed on

The Earl of MALMESBUB.Y asked the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs what had been done with respect
to the firing by the Russians on the boat's crew at Hang*
bearing a flag of truce ?
The Earl of CLARENDON was sorry to say that be was
notyetis a position to supply the further information which
Its noble friend naked for. Admiral Dundee had asked for
eiplanatione, and General de Berg replied to that demand
by unsupported charges. The only passage in that despatch
that was unsaid, red satisfactory was that, instead of 17 men
being murdered, es we thought, then were only 7, end a
number of others wounded. An answer had been sent to
that despeteh by the instruction of hie hon. friend the
Secretary to the Admiralty. Admiral Dendas stated that
it was Impossible to disbelieve the statement made that the
gas of trues had been hoisted, god had been seen, and that
is wee the known custom is the Baltic, as elsewhere, to hoist

Admiral Du du saw no justification whatever for the Rus-
sians attacking a boat's crew with so over yhelmieg • force
In simmer to G lDe Berg's statement, that the men
did not go on a peaceful mission, Admiral Dundee was is.
Mooted to state the fact that the muskets were at the bot-
tom of the boat, that they were not loaded, and that that
were covered with a tarpaulin,, and therefore the fact of the
weaken being in the boat meat have bees unknown to the
Ilasise*. And then with regard to the Run's& flag being
heisted, as the noble lord had said, it was • common strata.
gem premised by all cations. The only limit was, that the
crew hoisted the teal nalonel colour before the commence-
ment of hostilities. With regard to the statement that an
attack had been made, tinier cover of a flag of truce, on en
anprotected village, government had no such 'nformation.
On the contrary, the instructions to Admiral Dundee were
to state that her Mali say's g iverament could not be-
lieve that any officer in her Maj. y's service had used • flog
of trams with soy such object. With regard to the state-
ment that appestat in the newspapers of soundings having
Imell taken ins the bay of Kerteb, taking advantage of a flag
fiese for that purpose, it elides happen that before the
=lof General De Berg arrived in England, a denial
:t made of any such proceeding having taken place.
Under these circumstance's, till we could know the real facts
lithe case, and in what simmer the flag of trees was hoisted,
which we should not know till Lieutenant Oseeste end his
companion were est at liber.y, Admiral Donde* was
last/acted to demand the immediate release of these wi-
eners, and the Danish government had been requested to
represent to the Russian government that until her
Majesty s government got the evidence of Lieu,
Genesis, till they clearly knew what the facts of the case
were, and till they received the answer of the Remiss
government, they could not decide on what course they
should pursue.
Lord CAMPBELL said, having devoted • considerable
portico's:. his life to the study of international law, he could
state that, on densest De Berg's own showing, the Rus-
sians, on the occasion referred to, had been guilty of • vio-
lation of international law. With regard to the hoisting of
Ru•slan flip, it was well known that that was a stratagem
that wee commonly rs pored to by all nations.
Lord COLCHESTER said it was no satisfaction to
4a to have losses through the misconduct of the enemy.
He trusted that instructions would be given that the utmost
strictness should be observed with regard to flags of truce.
He did not mantissa these things u at all exculpatory of the
conduct of the enemy.

LORD J. RUSSELL AND THE VIENNA CON-
FERENCES.
Sir E. B. LYTTON gam notice that on Friday night, en
the order. of the day for going into committee of supply, or
otherwise when opportunity might be afforded to him, be
should moves resolution to the followiog effect: " That'll,
conduct of our minister in the recent negotiations at Vienna
has, In the opinion of this house, shaken the confidence of
the country in those to whom its affairs are entrusted."
DR. SMITH AND DR. HALL, AND THE ARMY
HOSPITALS IN THE BAST.
Mr. A. STAFFORD wished to ask the Under-Sseratary
of the War Department whether Dr. Andrew Smith had
retired; and whether Dr. Hall, after the publioatioa of the
report of the Sebastopol Committee, still continued Medical
Impactor General of the Army in the Esat.
Mr. F. PEEL said Dr. Smith still officiated as the head
of the medical department, and be would continue to do so
until his successor had been appointed. Considering the
great amount of current business to be performed in that
department, it would be very inconvenient if thine were
any bre.k as regarded nyerinteadenee ; and considerable
time and care would be required to select a person fully
qualified to succeed Dr. Smith. With regard to Dr. Hall,
he had to state that, during the time that Lord Passim
had bees at the head of the War Department, no complaints
kid bsem mode u to the manner In which be had performed
bib dads; t ea the contrary, satisfaction had been impressed.
NG al aware that the committee had stated that they were
at a bee to understand how the report which Dr. Hall made
with regard to the hospitals at Scutari could be reconciled
with the state of those hospitals at the time ; bat,
at the same time, that report was made in the math el
October last, and therefore Lord Fawn* had net calessed
Dr. Hall from the superintendeaos of the medical dew►

Au Box. 1111111311 wished to knew whether the home
was to understand, from the hes. gentleman's answer, that
the gevera meat was sandlot' with the tendert of Dr. Hall?
Mr. F. FEEL said, during the time that Lord Passers
had been at the head of the war department, the govern.
meat had had TOMOS 10 be satisfied with the way la which
Dr. Hall had performed his duty.
Mr. ROEBUCK said the hoe. member (Mr. Peel) had
stated that Dr. Hall made his report is the month of Go-
ober, .• and thenfore"—hei quoted the hon. gentleman's
own words—(bear, heu)—Lord Penman had sot thought
St to remote him. He wished to know whether that
therefore" was what the bon. gentleman relied epos.
(e. Hear, hear." sad laughter.)
Mr. F. PEEL said oertainly not. The lesson why Dr.
Mall remained inspostorgeneral of hospitals was because
during the time that Lord Pawner* had been at the head
si the war departmest so ground had been shown for feel-
lag any clbsatiefactios at the way in which he had performed
his duties. He thought he might infer that these caustics.

Mr. J. L. RICARDO said, some time since he ventured
to put a question to the noble lord at the head of the go-
vernment with respect to the rumours as to a guarantee at a
loan to the Turkish government, and the noble lord gave
him an &o'er which 'plowed to him to &hug an erro.
Wrens intpressi:ll. A p►get de lot had been presented to
the French Chamber on she subject of • guarantee, and
perhaps the noble lord would ~ow tell the house, first,
whe bee the government was about to guarantee a loan to
the Sultan ; secondly, when toe question would be brought
' before the bowie, and in what form ?
Lord PALMERSTON—At the time when the hon.
member Delors asked me a question on the subject, I INS
not is a condition to make him any other answer than that
which I gem Sines that time a treaty has been signed
between France end England on the one bend, and the
Sultan on the other, by which the governments of Fiance
and Eaglann make certain engagements with regard to a
loan of 6,000,G001, which the Sultan is to raise. The en-
gagement, on the part of this co•:utry, is that her Majesty
engages to recommend parliament to guarantee one hall of
that wan, France guaranteeing the other half. It is to be •
joint guarantee on the port of Englaod and ',meet. No
treaty is yet actually signed, and when the ratifications
have been exchanged an application will be made to
parliament.
Sir DE L. EVANS inquired whether the treaty would
include • provision as to the employment of the proceeds
for military rupees. ?
L ird PALMERSTON—In the arrangements made be-
tween the two governments Care will be taken that the
proc.eds shall be applied to the military purposes for which
the loan is to be raised.

THE POSTAGE OF NEWSPAPERS.
In reply to a question from Mr. BMA,
Mr. J. WILSON said that, it a newspaper were put into
the Pon-attic" without a stamp, it would of course Ivu obuted
as a package, according to weight. Cases in which a stamp
had been I'm off woald be treated u it there had never
been a stamp.
GOVERNMENT SITUATIONS AND WOUNDED
AND DISABLED SOLDIERS.
Mr. W. 8. KNOX wished to asi the noble lord at the
head of the government a question of which be bad given
him notice—namely, whether it wee the intention of the
government to reserve such situations in the pubic service
ea
were suitabl• fee woubded and disabled soldiers who had
d in the Rest, particularly oath (Aces as were con-
nected with she Wor Department?
Lord PALMERSTON—I brg to say that those persons
at the head of the venous departments who aro responsible
for the eelee.ion of persona w fill the vacancies which may
arise in those departments will of course ecercise their des
cretion as to what they may think best for the public sir-'
oboe, and most in unison with the claims of the different
candidates whose names may be submitted to them. (Hear )
LORD J. RUSSELL'S SPEECH ON FRIDAY LAST.
Mr. DISRAELI said he wished to make an inquiry of
the noble lord the Secretary of States for the Colonies, and,
although that noble lord was not present, as he thought
there ought to be no delay in such a matter, he would at
ones state on whet point it was that he desired information.
The noble lord the other night in the observations which
he made informed the house what occurred in her Majesty's
councils on his return from his mission at Vienna. He
wished to know from the noble lord whether he had re.
etived her Msjest3's gracious permission to mike that com-
munication to the House of Commons ?
PUBLIC BUSINESS.

1414, tea questnn from Mr. 1:11111LIT,
Sir W. MOLES WORTH said the Metropolis Dianne-
meat Bill would be takes on Thursday morning next, and
the Metropolis Buildings Bill on Tuesday morning.
ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.
Mr. V. SCULLY roe* to move "that an bumble address
be presented to her Majesty, thanking her Majesty for her
most erazious Order in Council of the 21st day of May
last, by which certain persons were dirseted to examine
into sad certify the qualifications of all young men pro-
posed to be appointed to junior situations in any depart-
ment
of the civil service ; and praying that her Majesty
will be graciously pleated to direct the examination to
be at even one, and held in public, and that the eta-
tethers do base regard to superior qualifications and merit."
The hoe. and learned member oberrved that be bad in.
eluded In his Motion the diplomatic and consular services;
but, in order to simplify the matter, he should reserve those
departments for the present. The only points which he
wished to attain upon that ootheims were that the examine-
doe of civil servants should be open to all, and that those
examinations should be conducted in the only manner in
which satisfaction scald be given—namely, in public.
These propeaalt, if carried into effect, would render &doll.
Digestive reform a reality.
Viscount OODERICH seconded the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hoc. gentleman who bad brought the subject under the coa-
ct tendon of the bouts had re .thentended it to their atten-
tion by stating that it was • measure in pursuance
of administrative reform. Now, her Yojesty's government
were as desirous of promoting administrative reform as either
the hon, member himself, or es any other hon. gentleman
in the house amid be ; and the gayeties, therefore, that re-
mained was, wtat was the particular administrative reform
whisk the bon. [gentleman sought to effect? Under the
term " administrative reform," he (Sir 0. C. Lewis) could
conceive two Masse, of measures. The one would consist
in ea examination into all the ezistiog department., with
respect to the qualifications of those employed in them, the
distribution of their labours, the number of persons to em-
ployed, their duties, and their efficiency. In former die.
SWUM he (the righti bon. gentleman) had stated to the
house that a series of investigations into all thee* matters
had been instituted by the successive governments of his
*obis friend and Lord Derby. Tame investigations were
conduethel by competent persons, and all the practical re-
commotdaticas °pulsated in their reports bed been curiel
into offset. He ehaLenged any hos. member to say that '
thoraces, well sustained, had not been made by successive
governments, both for secertaining the defects which might
. hist in the different public aepartments, for removing thine
detests, and for increasing their efficiency. (Hear, hear.)
The second oleos of measures cannscted with administrative
reform had reference to an improvement In the general
character of the civil service, and on tbis point be need not
again travel over the ground over which his right bon.
friend (Mr. Gladstone) had gone in his historical account of
what had already been done with that view, or of the step*
which had reeulted in the issuing 01 the order in
conceit in May last. That other in roused was
intended to improve the civil service, subject to
the general isomlldeas by which it was now Dowd-
, toted. At presentdare were separate eliminations
' in • gnat majority et this public departments, but they
were examinations ethluelal under the authority of the
r heads of those dopertmenta sad they were not conducted on
I, any telltale er onaelematplaa. The object of the order in
eouscil, tbarseaue, was to place all these examinations under
one hoard, whisk obirald idrednee a system of regt.luity
into the mode el madocalag them, and which should be at
the same time lemispendent of all influences connected with
the several dirpoinerrate. It was intended to create a
, standard auk WO for all new pewees to be intro-
, deed ince the palate minim ; but the plan was to be subject
' to tbenniadag riplallems with respect to nomination and
' Trament. The emandsoinases had been appointed;
bad already mama' apse their duties, and the
I boa. member bimielf &W OW that what had been
, dons was a stop in the sight dlirealea. Bat the honourable
gentleman said that it wee an unsatisfactory and inufficient
measure, and that lt was incumbent upon the hones to call
upon the grown to set in mottos its prerogative for the put-
pose of medium the existing order, and substituting for it
• new order founded apes the resolution he had moved.
There were three pasts on which the system proposed by
the hen, member differed from that which had beet
h.i,hed time government. The boa. gentleman in tbi
ndu gitrst
plate proposud that tbe examinstions should be cocted

in public—seat he proposed that any person mignt tf,
hirissel as • candidate without teeing any qualification
whatever—
Mr. SC LJLLY—So far from suggesting that the candi-
dates should have no qualifications„ I proposed that they
i.hntild have the best qualifications that could be procured.
(Hear, bees.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER meant to
say that the candidates would have no preliminary qualifica-
tion in order to be admitted as candidstesi arid that their
qualifications for °Moe would be afterwards ascertained by
the emmination. Lastly, the hon. gentleman proposed
that the ett.j.ct of the examination should be sot
to determine whether the candidate came up to a certain
etaudard, bet whether he was the beet of a given number
of pawns who bed entered into competition with each
other with the situation as the prize. The necessary eff. et
of adopting this plan would be that no one would be re.
sponsiule tor the appointment of any of these public ser-
vants, many thousands in number. There would, in fact,
be no veto on the Dart of the crown to tie appointment of
any penon who had received the certificate ui the board if
examinee. (Hear, Lear.) But I • (the right hon. baronet)
would proceed to notice the three proposals of the bon.
member in their order. In the first place came the question
of publicity of examination. At present all the examine-
doss were conducted in writing ; and that beg the case it
_ accessary to remark that the admissive of
to woo be wholly nugatory; for there could be
no advantage in permitting the public to see a number of
pntlemen aittiog round a table and wr.tiog their answers to
• let of questions which had been famished to them. (Hear.)
The hon. gentleman wished oral examinations to he substi-
tuted for eliminations in sensing ; but he (Bir 0. Lewis)
had so reason to bedew) that a practice which had been
followed for l years in all the public departments,
which bad been the result of experience proceeding tenta-
tively, was not the moat efficient that could be adopt. d.
The hon. gentleman had stated that all the university
examinations were public. The hon. member might no
doubt be better informed, but lis (Sir G. Lewis's) own ex-
perience led him to believe that a very large proportion of
the university examinations were conducted in whiner, acid
that the porno) were not admitted to them. At Cambridge
such he believed to be the case. At the examinations fur
scholarships at Gilead, at which he had had the honour of
being an, immune, sot even the nesmb.ne of the university
were admitted. (Hear, hear.) On the whole, therelorr,
he (the right hon. gentleman) was at • loss to conceive
what would be the advantage to be cierived from publicity.
The really importaut part of the bon. gentleman'. plan was
the permission w bo given to all persons to constitute them-
selves candide, es, and the proposal to reader the exemi•
nations competitive. The first objection to such a system
was that to which he had already alluded, namely, that it
would abolish all personal responsibility. At prwent, for
every appoinmeat, from the hignest to the lowest, somebody
was responsible, either the head of the department, or
the Commisaiouers of the Treasury. If an improper sp.
pointment was made they could flu the responsibility upon
some definite member of the government, and they could
call him to account. But suppose under the proposed
system an improper appointment was made—and he sup-
posed that the honourable member would not go the
length of saying that it would work perfectly—who would
then be r.sponsible ? Nabody could be called to
account for the original nomination—the candidate
had nornicated himself. The examiners would say
that they had proposed certain subjects to the candidsted3
they had examined the answers without knowing the names
of those who had given them In; they had affixed to each
certain arithmetical mark', and on aiding them up they had
given their certificate to toe candidate who had obtained
the greatest number. Thus sU personal responsibility for
the appointor at would be completely eluded, cod that
seemed to him (Sir G. Lewis) to be one treat objection to
the plan. (Mar, hear.) Another objection was, that it
would be impassible by such an examination as wee coo-
templated—wd examinations were nut always a satinsetory
tent even of intellectual attainments—to geese the moral
qualities of the candidate. They did not want for the
public offices men of ambitious and eager aispolitions—men
who sought to *Avenue themselves rapidly is the world;
but they wanted trustworthy men—men industrioua
and attentive, who would perform the duties en-
signed to them by their suorriors (Hear, hear.)
How could they ascertain whether the candidates pawned
those qualities by any i•timey examination? (Hr. W.WiI,
llama—Hear, hear) What would be the class of perms
who would in all probability succeed is the great majority
of 'lives They would find that schoolmasters, and ambers
in schools— persons who bad been employed is the practical
business of education—would be, for the most part, the
successful candidates. Sach pewees would be the most apt
in answering arithmetical question", and they would be able
to give the best replies to such ordinary problems es would
be proposed to the candidates. They would be the moat
experienced in the process of examination, end they would
thus come to the tria! with advantages which other persona
would not have. He hoped he should not be under •
stood to east the =ellen refi: etion upon this most
respectable class of the community, whose employment
be honoured as much as any member of the house ;
but be would suggest for their consideration
whether they should give advantages to that class net poo•
reseed by other classes? (Hear, hear.) The public servants
were of tee classes—one, the clerks in the superior offices,
whose employmeat might be called intellectual ; apd the
other consisting of that numerous clam of persona who were
employed in the nestles deprtments, whose mrnees could
scarcely be designated by that name. Did the house think
that any great advantage would mese from cdtablishing com-
petitive examinations for plain as boatmen is the rhea'
guard, tidewaiter', weighers in the Custem.house, Peat-
office Merienyere, or messengers in the public departments ?
(Hear, hear.) He (the right hon. baronet) fully agreed
with those who thought it most desirable that they aheuld
have a standard for offices is every class, theluding the
lowest. Nobody could be mon dispoeed to enforce • rigid
examination into the qualifications of persons seeking em•
ployment in every department ; bat he must ask whether
they would derive great advantage from establishing com-
petitive examinations between the candidate' for situations
in the class on which he was now remarking ?
(Hear, hear.) He would go even further, and ask
whether they could apply the principle with ad-
vantage even to the higher claw* of public servants ?
The house must not shrink from approaching this pert et the
subject, which the mover of the neolatioa bad most eldn-
lonely avoided. If they were to make the appointment of
educated clerks, wh a were to hold responsible, sod often
very important and difficult situations in public offices, de-
peed upea a competitive examination, would they stop
with them? Woulu they not apply the same principle of
competition to persons holding higher and more important
situations? Would they undertake to appoint permanent
undersecretaries of elate, permanent Secretaries of the Tree-
Bury, permanent secretarial of the Admiralty, by a literary
competitive examination? Would they undertake to ap-
point judge+ of public court", commissioners of bankrupt,
and legal officers of different descriptions, by a competitive
examination ? Would they go higher, sad appoint the
judges of th- superior courts in this way ?
(Hear, hear.) If this principle were so good,—
if it were to work with infallible, with mechanical regu-
larity for the selection of clerks in an office, who often suer-
clod most difficult and responsible functions there, and
exercised them in obscurity—would they say that it was
Impossible to carry the principle further ? If the priaciple
could not, is nation sad common sense, stop at the point
where the hos. member fixed it, would any hoe. member in
that house get up and say that he was willing to trust all
the great permanent appointments of the country, judges
and others, to a competitive literary examination ? It was
utterly impossible, if they %reed to the address proposed,
that they should stop at that point, and not carry it out to
all the permanent civil service of the crown. But, in con-
sidering this priaciple of a competitive examination for the
civil service, it was natural that they should look at the
general o:lenience of mankind. It was an almost cer-
tain presumption that • great principle of this sort,
which had been proposed for the first time for
practical adoption in the year 1866, was at least liable to
some strong objection, which escaped notice on the first
consideration, and to which the hon. member had not called
the attention of the house. Looking back late history, we
did not find that any country hitherto—whatever its form
of government—had ever selected its civil servants by a
competitive examination. Not to weary the house with
historical allusions, he would only take the great republic of
antiquity—the great masters of government end jurispru-
canoe In antiquity, who were the authors of almost all that
was important in practical politics—the Romans. Did the
Romans ever think of appointing consuls, or vetoes, or
any of the great officers who administered their drain at
home, or carried their triumphant espies over the whole of
Europe, by • competitive ezamination ? Looking at more
modern times, had a single country la Europe
ever resorted to this priaciole ? Did Italy, under
any of its forms of ',Tommie% ? did Say of
the republics of Italy ?—did any of the sovereign-
ties al Italy, eves resort to this method? Did the
